Very honoured to have spent time with the courageous volunteers from @antytila_offic charity fund as they delivered supplies around Ukraine’s Donetsk region. So much tireless work and meticulous planning goes into these trips - amazing to get such an insight into their work.

The Loving Hearts animal shelter in Odesa was bombed by a jet-powered drone. This is what’s left of the building where 50 cats lived—at least 10 cats & 3 dogs were killed, with many still missing. We’re going to help them recover & could use your support 🙏 https://t.co/b6aqyDI3MU

in my native city Zaporizhzhia, after unblocking twenty bodies, including several children, rescuers keep searching for missing families. after tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives russians robbed us of, whoever thinks Ukrainians are resisting because their leaders tell them to is as tragically misreading Ukrainians as putin does

I am a medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I am American and I believe we must support Ukraine now more than ever.

Please continue to show Ukraine your support, America. I know the people are with us!! 🇺🇦🇺🇸

To find someone who’ll love you like people in my grandpa’s town loved their power plant. Kinda glad grandpa didn’t see it destroyed by the russians.

I'm very grateful our story on the horrors unfolding in Oleshky is on the front page of today's paper.

“In the autumn, we will definitely die,” one resident wrote this summer. “I am already dying. I am getting weaker with each day.”

Oleshky: @United24media report based on the fragment from my forthcoming documentary.

The coastal areas of the Kherson region are under drone-and-mine siege NOW.

The Ed Sheeran drama was already an interesting case study in hypocrisy, as Ed gets mercilessly harassed for supporting Ukraine but not Palestine, while Macklemore (or anyone else, really) gets none of it for doing it the other way around.

But the double standard becomes even more glaring when compared to Ovechkin. Sheeran’s entire touring lineup walked out over an attempt at neutrality. Meanwhile, Ovechkin actively and openly aligns himself with not just people, but a regime currently waging a brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, killing civilians daily, and starving occupied communities like Oleshky by denying food supplies. Yet Ovechkin continues to play professional team sports without his teammates walking out, fans turning away, or facing anything close to proportional backlash. It exposes a deeply broken standard for who society chooses to hold accountable.

Some 6,000 people — 200 of them children — are right now starving to death in a humanitarian catastrophe orchestrated by Vladimir Putin's Russia.

The town of Oleshky and its surrounding district in the occupied part of Kherson Oblast exist under Russian occupation as a prison — and it is rapidly turning into a death camp.

No one is allowed in or out. The last food delivery was on May 26. Medical supplies are close to non-existent.

😔 Внаслідок ворожого удару по евакуаційному центру у Краматорську є поранені

«Пункт, куди ми привозили людей. Тільки сьогодні вивезли. Жестяк. Приліт у центр транзитний Краматорська, куди ми привозимо постійно людей. Є поранені. Просто капець. Це вже край цинізму. Сьогодні вивезли сюди шість людей з Дружківки. Є поранені», — коментує ситуацію з місці події на своєму відео волонтер-евакуаційник Богдан Зуяков.

Today, russian terrorists attacked a transit center in Kramatorsk, where volunteers bring dozens of people every day for further evacuation.

Russia is a terrorist state.

RUSSIAN FORCES ARE BLOCKING OLESHKY, UKRAINE, RIGHT NOW. HUMANITARIAN AID IS BEING DESTROYED. PEOPLE ARE LEFT WITHOUT FOOD, MEDICINE, AND BASIC SUPPLIES.

PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM HUNGER AND ILLNESS.
