The West needs to stop invoking Ukraine’s higher moral compass to get them to acquiesce to Russian demands. We need to find ours & make RU stand down & stop the genocide.
“What keeps me here is my soldiers.”
Ukrainian street photographer Mykhailo Rybko crossed paths with American combat medic @bekamaciorowski.
She shared what brought her to Ukraine, and encourages her to stay here, 4 years in.
Thank you for your service, Rebekah!
Oleksandr Savov, a Ukrainian marine, Azovstal defender, and former POW, died 8m after returning from russian captivity, where he had spent 3yrs.
He was released in critical condition — with tuberculosis, skin diseases, and severe leg lymphedema. In his interviews, Oleksandr constantly repeated that "treatment" in captivity meant torture and medical experiments.
Silence kills. Be the voice of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Deeply moved. Apotea, Sweden’s largest online pharmacy, is sending 250 combat medical backpacks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — bringing the total to 1,000, alongside 19 truckloads of aid worth over $3.4M. Sweden’s solidarity saves lives. 🇺🇦🇸🇪
Eternal Glory to Pandora, 25-year old combat medic with 71th Air Assault brigade.
She was KIA while saving her brothers-in-arms in early October.
R.I.P. Pandora. You inspire us.
🇺🇦🇺🇦😭😭

They're not looking for handouts or trying to be a burden on anyone. They could have contributed to their own country and will contribute to whatever nation takes them in.
I think they deserve better. Don't you?
At 18, Anhelina Martyniuk returned to Ukraine from Switzerland to join the army.
She became a reconnaissance commander in the 155th Battalion.
On 26 July, she was KIA near Pokrovsk just days after her wedding.
She chose to come back and serve.
Eternal Memory!
1/ A few days ago I told you about Ukrainian defenders sending an e-bike via drone to save a stranded brother.
It was a good story.
But then folks sent me the details.
They're damn amazing!
Here's the full, insane drone rescue story—all about doing the impossible 🧵⤵️
On the front line, combat medic of the 3rd Assault Brigade, Maryna Hrytsenko “Mary” was killed, in civilian life, she was the chief curator of the Chernihiv Art Museum’s collections and a member of Plast (Ukrainian Scouting Organization).
Maryna joined the military in February 2023, Mary became a rifleman-medic in the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, serving as a combat medic in the battles for Kharkiv region.
In January 2025, she was awarded the Order “For Courage” as a medic of the 1st Assault Battalion of the brigade.
On the morning of August 7, Mary and two comrades were carrying out a combat mission on the front line, all three were killed by a Russian drone strike.
FEEL THE OUTRAGE: Every night Russian bombs and missiles and drones deliberately target Ukrainian cities and civilans. ENOUGH! Give Ukraine the arms and air defense it needs to fight and end Putin’s invasion.
We must send necessary weapons to Ukraine ASAP. This is freedom vs totalitarianism; a peaceful neighbor vs invader. Two-thirds of Americans see it the same. I’ll vote for strict sanctions on Russia & support sending advanced weapons to Russia. Putin’s treachery is unacceptable.
I'm sorry we failed you Dmytro.
We all failed to protect you and your family, we all didn't do enough.
I promise today to do more, work more.
The body of 31-year-old Dmytro was recovered from under the rubble, his parents had been hoping to see him alive all day. 💔😭🤬
Ukrainian nurse destroyed Russian unit with a single grenade launcher shot, saving her entire unit from encirclement.
A combat medic named Svitlana took command when her unit's leader was unavailable during an intense Russian assault on the southern Zaporizhzhia front.
She was receiving tactical guidance via radio and single-handedly neutralized the threat.
Svitlana joined the military as a volunteer in 2022, then lost her son in fighting near Bakhmut but dedicated herself to saving the lives of her fellow soldiers.

It's Day 1022 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, it's also Weds 11 December.
You've found the start of another thread documenting all the important bits of the news, fact checked, analysed and edited.
It's very important we keep Ukraine & the need for justice in the news.
For a month in a row, we’re not gaining followers.
During this time, we’ve lost ~4000 followers.
Some of them were bots. Some of them weren’t. Regardless, this disrupted our visibility here.
We can’t but rely on you here. Otherwise, we’ll keep on withering away.
