A message from Oleg Carbo, resident of Kyiv:
"Is it the hardest winter since February'22? It might as well be. It's cold and air-raids are frequent.
It's mostly dark when it's dark, and you grow accustomed to this perpetual darkness somehow, the sound of power generators constantly working everywhere at once and the expectation of the next attack.
Will it be tonight or tomorrow?
How worse can it still get?
How worse will the world allow it to get? When will it possibly be finally fed up with russia destroying our power grid and bragging about it on state media while simultaneously screaming "LOOK, UKRAINIANS ARE FASCISTS, THEY DON'T WANT PEACE!".
(Spoiler from Ukrainian: never, unfortunately.)
We carry on living, of course, and we carry on hoping, and none of us are surrendering any time soon, even though it big part the whole point of this attacks is to force Ukrainians to protest against our government, say "we're fed up with this war, we want peace at all costs" (ie capitulation and accepting the fate of being a russian colony like Belarus AT BEST).
This always reaches a completely different reaction and response from Ukrainians, reassuring them they're right to stay united, resilient, patient and carry on fighting (and supporting Ukrainian Armed Forces in any possible way), rejecting any surrender or concessions.
As a certain TV-series put it brilliantly - "This is the way".

A young Iranian man who just crossed the border from Iran into Turkey records a message for the world
He says that people outside of Iran have no idea just how many protesters have been murdered by the Islamic regime
He says that they’re shooting at people’s chests all the time
Denmark provides Greenland with ~ $12.000 per Greenlander each year. And that’s just the block grant.
On top of that comes free healthcare, free college education etc. Denmark also paid for the two new international airports in Nuuk and Ilulissat.
If a Greenlandic citizen needs specialized treatment, Denmark literally pays to have them flown to Copenhagen and treated - usually at our top hospital (Rigshospitalet).
@MadsLfcWalker@TRohde94 Hans tilbageløb og hjælp til at forsvare er ringere end fx gakpo imo. Vi blev flået i stykker med fx NF i højre side. Men enig i at Gakpo også burde på bænken. Konate samme.
@TRohde94 Synes ikke vi har været gode de gange grav er kommet derned. Endo mener jeg ikke er en løsning - for lav og for lidt styrke. Problemet er der ikke er en ordentlig cb til at presse ham og vd.

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:
December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.
February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.
July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.
February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.
U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.
~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.
The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.
America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.
Slava Ukraina.
@KennethBondo Så hvis de ikke kunne udvinde kryolit i Grønland var det ikke fundet et andet sted. Ligesom alle andre råstoffer har fundet et andet udvinding sted når pris osv har været fordelagtigt. Langt ude postulat! Og baseret på en random sides avis!
