Ці 100 днів пролетіли так швидко. Відчуття, наче арт був намальований мною вчора.

100 days until the party.

100 днів до вечірки.

I JUST WOKE UP AND THERE ARE LIKE 166 NOTES WHAT

ТІЛЬКИ РОЗПЛЮЩУЮ ОЧІ, А ТУТ 166 НОТАТОК(??) ЩО

you just read a news piece "Ukraine returned 4 kids from russian territories aged 17, 9, 6 and 3" and think: finally some good fucking news, but then you scroll further and you see the numbers 19,000 deported and 1,400 missing and you just don’t understand what should we do to safe them, who should we ask and beg for help.

Party time!

Час вечірки!

Babyn Yar, 82 years past.

Last year, I walked there a lot - and couldn't help but cry, every time. You always knew the Holocaust happened, and what it happened to Ukraine as well, but there, in the memorial park, you see the photos, read the text describing it, you see these ravines, you walk along the graves/monuments of the Jewish cemetery, you listen to the prayers and memorial songs... Can you not cry?

And then there's the rocket attack on Babyn Yar last year. And there's the occupation, execution of civilians, mobile crematoriums. The theater, inscription "KIDS". "Filtration camps". Deportation of children. Blowing up the prisoners' barrack. The damn. The market. The train station... No, I couldn't.

82 years later, and the only thing that changed is the language of the invaders.

some people don't realize that it's not a "show", it's not just some news stories, it's the reality we, Ukrainians, live in every single day. Imagine you are being attacked and not allowed to even speak about it because it's "too depressing and inappropriate".

right fucking now, at this second, there are russian drones flying over my country, maybe over my region, maybe one of them will kill me or someone else like me. just for mere existence.

how can you be so deprived of empathy?

our suffering is just too damn inconvenient :(

so so fucked up how Ukrainians in online spaces are like "I don't want to see anything or anyone ruzzian on my dash ever again, no matter their views" and some foreigners go "oh, you're so racist for this, you can't bring tumblr blogs into this" or "it's just pictures of moscow why are you blocking them for this jesus" or smth like that, and it's like. fellas is it "overreacting" when people don't want to see or hear anything related to a nation who oppressed them for centuries including at least two genocides with one of them going on right now, is it "overreacting" when people want to see literally any other country except the one that is killing Ukrainians every goddamn day. bro imagine living in a country that's not being invaded and arguing with someone who's currently sitting in a bombshelter hiding from ruzzian rockets second time this week about how they shouldn't bring posts about dostoyevsky into this.

Let your characters draw themselves!

In my class we had a refugee from Ukraine whose native language was Russian for a few months (she then moved to a different city) and we have like 6 Russians in our class, but none of them ever talked to her even though they all spoke Russian fluently. It was obvious how much they hated her because she was from Ukraine.

Me and some others in our class tried helping her out a bit but it was not so easy because she only spoke very few English and German.

Gotta say I thought the people in our class would show more support, like even some of the Non-Russians, but with Russian friends, were bitter. The majority would speak to her (over an translator) one or two times and then just coexist. I and like three others were the only ones who were actually sometimes with her during school. (The Ukrainians in our school visited a German class during most of our classes, so that they didn’t have to just sit there and listen to someone teaching something in a language they didn’t understand.)

But, I was actually shocked about the fact that our Russians didn’t want to talk to her, because at I know that at least three or four of them aren’t Putin fans. I mean ignoring a classmate is definitely not the worst thing Russians do to Ukrainians outside of the war but I still think it’s important about the ignorance of some. Maybe not all Russians are Pro-Putin but the majority isn’t as Anti-Putin as they should be, either.

British volunteer killed fighting in Ukraine - BBC News

The family of Samuel Newey say he died fighting alongside Ukrainian forces on Wednesday.

And another one of us (foreigners fighting for Ukraine) is gone... He wasn't in my unit and I didn't know him really but I remember I briefly met him in Kyiv in the early days of the war. Seemed to be a nice guy. RIP.

According to Wikipedia (here, scroll down to "Foreign fighters and volunteers") at least 313 foreigners have been killed in Ukraine, but I know for a fact it must be much more, because about a third of the people of whom I personally know were killed in combat, because they were in my company in my battalion, don't show up on any lists and or in any media. The ones who are made public are the ones whose parents/family take initiative and bring their kid's or brother's death to the public's attention, like recently in case of my friend Jeff who died in Bakhmut:

Task & Purpose

‘He was willing to sacrifice himself:’ Army veteran killed in Ukraine

Army veteran Jeffrey Judd Jones returned to Ukraine this year even though he was seriously injured last year by a Russian artillery strike.

[I'm just seeing this for the first time... "Even though Jeffrey Jones suffered a concussion in 2022 while working as a medic in Ukraine...", haha that's funny. Hey, Jeff was a great guy, and please don't tell his family, if they would ever ask me I'd swear he got injured "working as a medic", but just between the two of us, he suffered this concussion during training from a kind of play-fight with our unit leader at the time, who threw him over his shoulder on the ground and Jeff's head hit the concrete so hard he was passed out for literally 30 minutes. I was the first medic to help him, because I was watching while it happened, and was worried his skull cracked, but luckily he recovered. Only to come back to Ukraine a few months later and get killed in Bakhmut...Fuck, I wish he had stayed home]

The media doesn't mention that for some reason, but fyi, he was with 204th Bn TDF. That's not very well known but yes, there are also foreigners in the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force. He died in a trench in Bakhmut area from shrapnel wounds, together with another foreigner, a Brazilian named Antonio whom I didn't know.

This is Jeff:

And then there are the many foreigners who died here who never make it public because they have no family to care about these things. Like my friend Sebastian from Poland, whom I served with last year at the Izyum Front. Shot in the head in Bakhmut, died a week later in a hospital in Poland. If you google him you find nothing, if you google him via image search the only thing that comes up is this Reddit thread:

(Sebastian is the left one)

Sebastian was genuinely one of the best soldiers and just generally greatest people I've met in Ukraine. And I'm not saying that because he's dead but it's true. I was devastated when I heard about his death, because he was really one of the best of us in every possible way. Here's Sebastian sitting in front of the house that we both lived in last year in summer:

And then there are the many (more than killed) whom you'll never hear anything about, because they go home with serious, permanent injuries. But they're not dead, so no media is interested in their stories. Like my friend F, a former Marine who was in my unit almost since the very first day of training, who got shrapnelled in the head over half a year ago on one of the exact positions I'm still working at today. I visited him in the hospital in February after his brain surgery:

He's back home in the states for a couple months now, but his life will never be the same. And there are many more like him.

Don't forget about us. Not all heroes in Ukraine are Ukrainians.

"My son was tortured by separatists (those who believe Donbas and Crimea are russian). His documents were handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Inhumans carved a kolovrat on his face." - mother of the soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ivan Isyk.

A month after his death, the body of 30-year-old Ivan was given to his parents.

An autopsy performed by Ukrainian doctors revealed that his internal organs had been cut out and later sewn back into his body. A piece of the Ukrainian flag was found in his throat, and brain fragments were found in his stomach. And Ivan Isyk, who was still alive, had a kolovrat carved on his cheek (the symbol of the "Rusich" battalion, where maniacs Petrovsky and another ghoul named Milchakov served.)

This photo shows Russian neo-Nazi Yan Petrovsky, who was arrested by Finland in July 2023:

We must never forget that back in 2014, the Ukrainian Hero, a simple boy from Drohobych IVAN ISYK, died at the cost of his life with a terrible death":

"Forget", animation meme

My kids (I love them!) and my first try to animate (I like it!).

Мої дітки (люблю їх!) і моя перша спроба анімувати (сподобалось!).

After a russian missile strike on Chernihiv killed 6 year old Sophia 64 000(!!!) russians posted and reposted jokes, such as "Chernihiv. Selling child sandals. Unworn."

When russian missile hit Vinnytsya in 2022, killing 23 people among whom was 4 year old Lisa, tens of thousands of russians online mocked her disability, laughing at her death, or even making open claims that she's better off dead.

They think murdering children is funny. They think dead children are funny.

It's definitely not "just Putin". The russian society is rotten to its core.

The last time I was genuinely happy was in the summer of 2021.

My grandad called me and told me to come outside so he could buy me some ice cream. We stood there discussing what I was planning to do in Odesa, and he joked about our grandmother being a hard woman to live with, but we loved her nonetheless. Five days later, I would lose him. Six months later, the full-scale invasion would start. Nothing would ever be the same again.

That could've been you in Bucha, you know that? they didn’t choose who to kill, they killed everyone on their path? Your luck, then, that you were born in the western part of the country. The only thing you lost are your childhood memories of Crimea, Melitopol, and Zatoka, not your home. But the war continues: your flat could still become the final destination of a hypersonic missile. Don't forget it. Hopefully, you won't hear the siren that night and will die in your sleep. Hopefully, they will find the remains. Hopefully, it will be the entire family, so you won't suffer without each other. Because at the end of the day, your death would mean nothing but pain for your loved ones. The world will keep on spinning; missile parts will be sent to Russia. People will still pity the Russians, but they won't pity you or your family.

Suddenly, you realize that you no longer believe in what you believed before. Do you believe in something good? Well, your small, naive inner child is still alive then. Barely. What? You thought those institutions were meant to maintain peace? That's funny. Probably, that peace is more needed in expensive restaurants hundreds of kilometers away from the frontline.

I genuinely don't know why I'm writing this post again. Is it to be seen by the same 10 people? I know they feel the same. We just sit here together, slowly going mad, hoping someone will finally react. Maybe someone who reblogs your fandom post will find some sympathy. But sympathy is not what I need; I want to be heard.

Fuck you watched "Don't Look Up" with an ironic smile on your lips. And now, you are the main character.

All of you here preach about giving voice to the oppressed, but are you really doing it? The moment you become uncomfortable, it suddenly becomes not your business - "keep ___ out of politics." God, I would've loved that. I would've loved to not know anything. Not to know the names of military equipment. Not to understand that your life can literally depend on the presidential election in a completely different country.

I'm so tired of fighting for my right to be heard. I'm so tired of having to prove my right to live, to speak my own language. "Your country doesn't exist," "Your language is artificial; speak human (Russian)." Don't be too emotional. Don't hate Russians. Don't wish them anything bad. Don't open your mouth. Don't call out organizations. Just shut the fuck up or die.

No one will care if the biggest country in Europe disappears. No one will care if millions die. If your culture will finally be dealt with, if Russia will finally succeed in doing so. A thousand years of history can burn down in just one night. No one will bat an eye.

The world will keep on spinning.

The girls singing in this video were killed in a missile attack on Zaporizhzhia an hour after the performance 💔

Svitlana Semeikina and Kristina Spitsyna were performing to raise funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their parents are now also defending Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

The girls were only 19 and 21 years old. On August 9, they were killed by a Russian missile.

OC by paigey.stuff (Instagram):

When I see some foreigners wholeheartedly say that Ukrainians shouldn't judge all russians by the actions of the russian army, I think they miss a couple of points.

Firstly, Western belief that there is good in every person leads to self-deception and naivety. Many people still want to believe that russian society isn't different from the ones they live in. "Well, of course they are just like us. Look at their cities, at their youth, look at the things their activists write and say. Army gets the orders from the government, that's it. Ordinary people are against this war" Well, I don't know about you, but in my country army IS a part of the society. In fact, it's a scaled down version of the society. Soldiers aren't grown in laboratories where they gain their own, separate mentality.

Of course, if you are lucky/unlucky enough to speak russian, you know that the image and the essence of the russian mentality are two different things. russians are extremely good at creating an attractive and somewhat alluring image of their country for those who don't go in too deep. People who still try to judge russians from their own, West-oriented perspective, make a huge mistake. They conclude that the ordinary russians strive to the same values and civilizational goals as a common folk from, let's say, Berlin or Copenhagen.

The second thing has to do with us, Ukrainians. For us it's not the time for the shades of gray. To survive and to gain the victory, we need to look at the enemy through a white and black lense. Here are us and there are them. If we start pondering which russian is better and which is worse, we risk to lose everything. Every living russian at this given moment is an enemy - either a current or a potential one. Those russians who were kids at the beginning of the war in 2014, grew up and came to kill us in 2022. So we don't have the privilidge of going through all of the life details of those russians who beat themselves in the chest and proclaim they are good. Besides, in most cases after a few crucial questions 'good' russians turn into the ordinary ones. And thus we return to the first point once again - it's improtant to understand that russians are extremely good at hiding their ugly core from those who don't study the topic deep enough.

An acquaintance's child died at night. 12 years...

She screamed that she had a severe headache. The ambulance took her to the intensive care unit, where the child died😢.

An autopsy revealed a blood clot. Due to constant stress. The child was afraid of explosions and alarms.

Jobana katsapnia (fucking russians) killed this child

I love 'em
