    It's me in this picture. I'm a Ukrainian writer. I have portraits of great Ukrainian poets on my bag. I look like I should be taking pictures of books, art, and my little son. But I document Russia's war crimes and listen to the sound of shelling, not poems. Why? #StopRussiaNow

    I want to thank again every American who voted for Biden. When you were celebrating Trump is no longer a threat to humanity, I was drinking champagne for the historical moment too. But little did I know that moment would save soo many lives in #Ukraine️. You & your @POTUS are 😎

    I just realized that not everyone on Twitter knows that the USSR invaded Poland in 1939, acting in collaboration with Nazi Germany. Hitler and Stalin started WWII as allies. During the Soviet occupation of my hometown Lviv in 1939-1941 thousands were arrested and murdered.

    When I hear "I give you Leopards only if they give you Abrams", I get scared. Not because I'm Ukrainian, but because sometimes it seems Ukrainians are the only adults in the room. And to be honest, we're not ready to save the world both from Russia and this kindergarten politics.

    This letter β€œZ” on the dog’s nose brought tears into my eyes today. The dog’s name is Zhulik; he licked my hand. He was scared after occupation, but he trusts people again. But why, Russians? Because you can? When Russian leaders will be in jail, it will be for Zhulik’s pain too.

    I wish you all could understand Ukrainian and so appreciate this unique tenderness, hardly translatable to any other language I know, when the local women call Ukrainian soldiers "our boys", "khlopchyky" and ask permission to hug them. #Kherson region is so very #Ukraine.

    Some spontaneous singing and dancing at the main square of Kyiv, #Ukraine. Burnt Russian tanks are such an inspiration for the people who have just survived the most horrible 6 months of their lives. Please stay with us through the winter. #UkraineWillWin

    DNA test confirmed: Ukrainian children's writer and poet Volodymyr Vakulenko was murdered during the occupation of Izyum and buried there. As you know, I researched the war crime and uncovered Volodymyr's war diary he hid in his garden. The diary might be published soon. R.I.P.

    This year was the worst year for me and #Ukraine. Jan 1st is my birthday, and all I want are weapons for #UkrainianArmy and the establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression. So we can win and see Russian leadership behind bars already in 2023. Happy New Year!

    Many more Ukrainians will die because Elon Musk's SpaceX suddenly decided to prevent #Ukraine from using the Starlink satellite internet for controlling drones. Did they think that amidst existential war we bought all those Starlinks to tweet kittens?

    My friend lost her son. Roman Ratushnyi died a hero protecting #Ukraine near #Kharkiv. Outgunned and outnumbered, Ukrainians keep fighting for freedom in the middle of Europe. #StopRussianAggression

    Let's hope you'll never have to hide the flag of you country to survive. But just in case, here is a how-to guide from Kherson.
