One of our volunteers John shared his story on how and why he joined the Ukrainian information front: https://t.co/tfsHpZZUlX

"There are many recommendations for immigrants. Where to sit, how to be silent, to be grateful and to silently take what was given to us. Nobody owes us anything, but what are we guilty of?"

A crucial story to understanding Ukrainian refugees https://t.co/uSsrjzLG4Y

"Ukraine’s War for Independence is also ours whether we like it or not."

Our author and friend John is an American living in Kyiv. He dedicated his new beautiful piece to #FourthofJuly.

Read the story and have a great 4 of July weekend! https://t.co/LOSAs0x4VN

Just a friendly reminder that russia didn't start being a murderers' state just recently. @OSCE you had the whole time in the world to stop 🇷🇺 influence.

In case you missed, we made a big story on 🇷🇺wars around the world throughout the decades: https://t.co/R7ThXdwq0T

So @OSCE ceases its work in Ukraine because russia doesn’t want them to. I hope this event will become a monument near their office so they never forget how they supported genocide because they like russian money more than democracy and children being alive.

"Imagine a situation — you are being raped, and someone tells you: “It’s not his fault he’s like that... Well, with you too, you know, not everything is so simple. Maybe you offended him with something?”"

"In a dream, I saw myself with my sister in the mountains; we were safe. I wake up with a strong feeling that I have to escape from Bucha..."

Katya kept a diary while surviving in #Bucha. She is sharing her heartfelt story with us: https://t.co/eAbozOmvfl

"The Russian Federation (RF) has already stolen millions of tons of Ukrainian grain and is now trying to sell it on world markets."

Our author John Sennet says that we can't ignore the fact that the RF is directly at war with grain-dependent nations:

"The Russians are taking advantage of temporary information inadequacy and confusion, forcing people to sign anything."

An interview with a man from #Mariupol who needed to cross the enemy's land and two filtration camps with his family. https://t.co/sBNdygDO7s

"Not all cases of rape can be seen. But they must be heard."

With the help of the Ukrainian volunteering organization PR Army and @MFA_Ukraine, @Independent made a very important article about rape as a weapon of war.

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.

An astonishing piece by Ivan Shovkoplias about the Russian wars.

Chechnya, Georgia, Transnistria, Syria, Donbas, Crimea - places where misery reigned since Russia decided to "save" them. https://t.co/R7ThXdfmYT

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

"In Ukraine, for some reason, volunteering has always been connected with the need to protect one’s own identity, and always goes hand in hand with resistance to external aggression."

A heartfelt story about the unique case of Ukrainian volunteering: https://t.co/0HQzCodMOS

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

Solzhenitsyn spent his last days denying the genocide against Ukrainians - Holodomor - and, quoting Hitchens again, "...denounced “cruel” NATO behavior in the Balkans, without ever saying one word about the behavior of Russian soldiers in Chechnya."

Resembles smth, doesn't it?

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

“As time went by, he metamorphosed more and more into a classic Russian Orthodox chauvinist, whose work became more wordy and propagandistic and—shall we be polite?—idiosyncratic with every passing year.”

It was said by great Christopher Hitchens about (wait for it) Solzhenitsyn

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

The world was so blinded by Solzhenitsyn that it completely disregarded the voices of other Soviet Republics. Greatest scholars are studying this Russian chauvinist, but can many of them name Ukrainian dissidents?

"What does “a Nazi” really mean, to the average Russian? In Russian propagandistic speech, “a Nazi” means “an enemy”."

A new well-researched piece by @KhomynMarta about the Russian Orwellian propaganda about nazism in #Ukraine.

"War is the opposite of life".

An interview with the Afghan-born Ukrainian lawyer @MasiNayyem.

He was born in Kabul during the Soviet-Afghan war and now defending Ukraine. It's a story of his family, his late father and how the war changes you forever.

So why do people still believe these myths? As Likhachov says: “This is a great argument for doing nothing, watching Ukraine fight alone with the predominant enemy, and not feeling much sympathy for the fighters." Read more about Azov in his article https://t.co/d6D1JHMYfC

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

While the world is discussing the situation of #Azovstal and #Mariupol defenders, the story about #Azov being neo-nazis is raising again. An expert in far-right extremism Vyacheslav Likhachov debunks the myths about Azov. A thread.

[The Ukrainian View @TheUAView]

/If they call Azov neo-nazi, there is smth there/ Propaganda only works when you are willing to believe in it. If the one internally agrees with propaganda, the convincing part is easy.
