When looking at the horror of Bucha or anything else left of Russian occupation, remember that the Balts, Polish, Czechs, Hungarians, Romanians, Georgians carry exactly this in living memory. And they are less scared of the Russians than the "old West" of today.

Latest Zelenskyy address from last night. It's powerful, and it should be devastating for some in West to hear. In it, he switches between Ukrainian and Russian to deliver a message in response to the war crimes in Bucha. What follows is graphic. Here are main points... 1/

I am sure I will die soon. It is a matter of a few days. In this city, everyone is constantly waiting for death. I just want it not to be too scary. – testimony of a woman in #Mariupol

A friend asked for an explanation why "It's just Putin" is wrong and dangerous. I felt it needs a longer response. Here it is:

See this red roof? It’s a drama theater in Mariupol, we called it “the Dram.” See those little letters on the square? They read “KIDS” in Russian. That was a message to Russian bomber crews. But you know what - they bombed the building to ashes anyway. Because they’re animals. – at Ukraine

A month ago I had my life. I had my job, which was frustrating sometimes, but I loved the things I got done. I watched movies with my son and boyfriend. I cooked dinner or we ordered pizza. Went running. Now I wake up to explosions in my city at 5 in the morning.

This beautiful family doesn’t exist any more. Mykhailo Soloshenko, his wife Inna and son Yefrem were killed when a Russian tank fired on their car. Mykhailo was a Sumy University graduate - they confirmed his passing and released this photo.

Now can be no 'half' decisions or 'halftones'! There is only black and white, good or evil! You are either for peace or support the bloody Russian aggressor to kill Ukrainian children and women. @Microsoft @Oracle @SAP, stop supporting your products in Russia, stop the war!

Absolutely horrific. In Irpin, a mother and a son buried just in their residential block’s backyard. Next to a parking lot. Because decent burial is impossible due to ongoing hostilities in the city. This is what Russia does. The year is 2022. – at Ukraine

Just found out that the father of a friend of mine, a pensioner, got killed in Kyiv oblast. Russian tank shot at him point blank as he drove in his car… Meanwhile, Putin’s popularity in Russia went up 10%… “Finally he goes after those Nazis!…” #StandWithUkraine

Every time I give an interview to western media I get a feeling that they want us to give up. Is it because every day of us fighting alone gives them bad conscience? Or is it because they know they wouldn’t be fighting like us if they were in our shoes? #StandWithUkraine️

I'm regularly asked what Russian media are reporting about Ukraine, usually by people who don't speak Russian. And I struggle to convey the **scale of lies and sheer depravity** of Russian state media content. Words like "disinfo" aren't enough. Here's a🧵trying to illustrate.

Alisa is from the Ukrainian city of Okhtyrka, Sumy Oblast. She did not live to be 8 years old. She died during the shelling along with her grandfather, who covered her with himself,–Olena Zelenska wrote facebook.com/photo/?fbid=619…

30 miles from Kyiv, this is what Russia is doing to Ukrainian civilians.
Агентство Reuters сняло с дрона как выглядит Бородянка, это поселок в Киевской области. Несколько дней там были обстрелы.
