Newly appointed 🇺🇦 ambassador to South Africa, Author of “Ukraine vs Darkness. Undiplomatic Thoughts”. Personal account.
Sorry to quote my book, but I think this might be useful for those who still hope “to talk things out” with Putin.
I remember when Oleksandr Scherba was helping people during COVID while serving as Ukraine’s ambassador to Austria. He was personally responding to messages on Facebook, advising people about tests and documents needed to enter the country. I’m glad he’s now an ambassador again.…
My sincere gratitude to President @ZelenskyyUA for appointing me Ukraine’s new ambassador to South Africa. It’s an honour & challenge in so many ways. Diplomacy is my life-long passion & the world’s best job which I gladly embrace again. #StandWithUkraine
He has done it again @usykaa! An undisputed champion. A legend. One of our own. Thank you for the strength and inspiration you give to the whole country with every victory. Thank you for stepping into each fight with Ukraine in your heart. Congratulations on the win — to you,…
21-year-old Vyacheslav lost his mother during the war and became the guardian of his two brothers and two sisters. "I incredibly want to, and I work hard to ensure they have a childhood," he says. Although the young man had to grow up instantly and take on great responsibility,…
The African context is very important for us. We need to engage in more dialogue with Africa. Economic dialogue. An important economic factor for strengthening bilateral relations is the construction of grain hubs. This is one of the elements that can influence our relations…
I addressed Ukraine’s ambassadors and laid out the key tasks for our diplomacy: to support everything that protects life in Ukraine, and everything that causes Russia pain for its war. Each of you must deliver concrete results for Ukraine.
To understand why russia is behaving like a colonialist, dictatorship, we have to understand its history. Thats why I spoke to the incredible @anneapplebaum about the axis of autocracies working together to undermine democracy & rule of law youtu.be/1wjeI0WBZwQ?si…

Lvivskyi Kvartal residential complex (near Lukyanivska) is on fire as a result of the Russian attack. Russia keeps proving every night that terror is its only language.

Tough as nails, Ukrainian farmers harvest grain while russian guided bombs explode right next to them. Breadbasket of Europe - with the nerves of steel. #StandWithUkraine
The collective West accounts for 50% of global GDP; russia less than 2%. It’s no superpower, just a declining empire throwing a tantrum. Its invasion of 🇺🇦 is real, as are the missiles killing innocent children in their sleep. But its foundation (economic, moral, demographic) is…
Chronicles of a f**ked up country.
“Kurchatov, Korolyov and Stalin live in your DNA.” Russian military TV showcases the giant Shahed drone production plant in Tatarstan, boasting that children after 9th grade are working there to help kill Ukrainians.
This is accurate!
Based on the latest detailed Gallup poll (March 2025), 23% of Americans believe US aid to Ukraine is about right (maintaining support), and 46% say it's not enough (increasing support). Total: 69%. Other polls vary, e.g., Emerson at 55%.
Russia’s purposeful exploitation and destabilization of the African continent is not given near enough attention in the West.
The Russian Wagner Group’s atrocities are not just an African problem; they are a global crisis. The gold extracted through forced labor funds Russia’s war in Ukraine. The disinformation they spread undermines democratic institutions worldwide. Their impunity emboldens other…
In conclusion, de facto russia believes in a world with no light, only darkness. If Soviet Union preached “They are bad, we are good”, today’s russia preaches “Everyone is bad, it’s just nature”.
How Russia sees the world. 12 insights. #1 History is written by winners, alpha males. It won’t remember how evil you are today, if you win tomorrow. #2 We are Russians. God is with us. We can do no bad. But if we do, see #1. #3 We defeated Hitler. This entitles us to…

Ukrainian soldiers look completely different after returning from russian captivity. Often, their families can barely recognize them. Weight loss, exhaustion, signs of torture, and other inhumane methods of treatment by russia. But despite all the horrors of captivity, they…
“Kiev” is what empire called it. “Kyiv” is what we call it. Kiev is empire’s name for us. Kyiv is our real name. #KyivNorKiev
Using the correct names of Ukrainian cities isn’t just about spelling – it’s about respect and acknowledging of Ukrainian identity and history. Unfortunately, many international media and organizations still use outdated, russified versions – a legacy of imperial narratives that…
