This is my hometown, the place where I was born, raised and fell in love for the first time. At least 28 Chernihiv residents have died in Russian aerial bombing today.

I’m staying in Kyiv on Bankova Street, neither hiding, nor being afraid of anyone, for as long as it takes to win this war - Zelensky

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.

This is Natalia and her 11-year-old twins Yana and Yaroslav. When Russian cluster bomb struck Kramatorsk train station, Yaroslav was inside the building. Natalia and Yana were on the platform waiting for tea offered by volunteers. They are now in Lviv. Pic by Iryna Zaslavets.

As Ukraine was getting ready for the 14th night of the war, Russia hit the town of Malyn in Zhytomyr region, destroying 7 private houses, killing, among others, two babies born in 2021. This is impossible to hear, read or write. But here we are.

In case you are having a panic attack, I’ll tell you. Ukrainians won’t stop defending their country. They will put on a brave face trying to not let it show how shocked they are. But they will never forget how they were thrown under the bus for standing up to a war criminal. /1

Today in Irpin, my brother’s apartment was looted by Russian invaders. His neighbour calmly asked RU soldiers why they decided to break down his door when she in fact had the keys. They stole a safe with no valuables inside. This is the world’s 2nd strongest army at its finest.

"We, the people of [Russia-occupied] Snihurivka [Mykolaiv region], have gathered to protest against the illegal referendum. Snihurivka has always been Ukraine. We've never wanted to join Russia and we won't"

Mariupol mayor Boichenko: 50% of Mariupol residents were ethnic Russians. They [Russian troops] are just killing everyone. This is genocide, there’s no other word for it.

Kyiv bids farewell to Roman Ratushny. So young, so bright, so strong and so very determined. He had his whole life ahead of him. Russia’s war killed him near Izyum. Praying for his family, crying with everybody who knew and loved him. Heroes don’t die.

Top takeaways from Russia’s war on Ukraine so far: 1. Putin is not as strong as he wants to be seen, he’s a delusional KGB operative. 2. Russia’s army might is a myth. 3. Russia is not a superpower altogether. 4. Ukraine will fight till the end. 5. No way to avoid Hague Tribunal.

Russia is well aware it can’t win its war vs Ukraine. That’s why it’s taking Mariupol hostage, terrorizing Ukrainians inside the town and mentally abusing the whole nation. This whole war is a punitive operation against Ukraine’s determination to live freely and democratically.
