This is the last photo of three friends, taken just a couple of hours before they were murdered in Bucha.
Murdered by Russian soldiers.
Nastia was 26.
Serhii, the one in the black jacket, was 25.
Max was 28.
On the morning of March 4, 2022, they loaded Serhii’s SUV with animal food they planned to deliver to a shelter in Zabuchchia.
They knew fighting was happening near Bucha, but they did not know that Russian troops had already begun occupying the town that morning — beginning the bloody trail of murdering hundreds of civilians.
The friends were driving to Bucha on purpose — to reach Serhii’s parents.
They were only a few meters away from arriving.
The Russians fired around a hundred bullets at the three of them.
Max was killed instantly.
Two shots to the head.
Nastia and Serhii, who was driving, jumped out of the car — they were gunned down while trying to escape.
Nastia was hit by six bullets.
Serhii by nine.
Serhii’s parents buried all three in their own yard.
What unimaginable horror it is to bury your child beside your home, without even being able to provide a proper coffin, hold a funeral service, or truly say goodbye.
We remember.
The IOC has banned not the Ukrainian athlete, but its own reputation. Future generations will recall this as a moment of shame.
He simply wanted to commemorate fellow athletes killed in war. There is nothing wrong with that under any rules or ethics.
The IOC intimidated, disrespected, and even lectured our athlete and other Ukrainians on how they should keep quiet about “one of 130 conflicts in the world”.
The IOC has also systemically failed to confront the greatest abuser of international sports and the Olympic Charter — Russia.
A country that started three invasions during the Olympic Truce in the past three decades, implemented the largest state-funded doping program, killed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches, and damaged 800 sports facilities in Ukraine.
These are Russians who must be banned, not the commemoration of their victims. None of them are “neutral”.
If the Olympic Creed says that “the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part”, then @iocmedia betrayed it completely by preventing @heraskevych from taking part and betrayed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia.
We are proud to have Vladyslav who has not betrayed them. Thank you for your principles and bravery.
🎯 Any one of these Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians would be front-page news around the world requiring immediate action were they committed by terrorists in Berlin or Paris or London or New York. Normalizing the intentional slaughter of innocents is horrific.
The Russian army has just destroyed a maternity hospital in Zaporizhia.
I no longer know what other war crime Russia still needs to commit against Ukraine for the world to see what kind of monster Ukrainians have been standing up to for years in order to save their country.
And the scariest part is that everyone around him, of course, understands that he’s losing his mind and that these daily schemes are outright insane and dangerous.
And yet, everyone is trying to use the chaos for their own purposes: some are scrambling to outdo each other in pleasing him with an adventure that will flatter his fragile ego, feed his mania for grandeur, and promise the illusion of quick, easy profit -- especially if it also offers a chance to humiliate one of America’s friends.
Others, knowing exactly how to manipulate him, are simply trying to be the last person to get access to his ear and whisper their own ideas.
Everyone understands this is their chance to win the internal power struggle, move to the front, become the favorite, stand out -- because this won’t last long, and they need to rack up points while they still can.
Stambulētāji osļikovi, LPV, AS, NA, ZZS - tie, kuri mēģina Latviju atgriezt no Eiropas. Tumši zilais kļūs par Krievijas pelēko, ja viņu plāns izdosies.
Christians in Nigeria never carried out massacres, never dug tunnels, never fired rockets, never took hostages, never started a war. They are simply a peaceful community, half of Nigeria’s population, who only wanted to live in peace. Yet they are relentlessly attacked by Islamic groups: their churches burned, their women and children slaughtered, their men massacred simply for being Christians.
And what is the response of the world? Silence.
World leaders in Europe stand with those who massacre, with those who hold hostages—they rush to recognize a state for them. But when it comes to Nigerian Christians? Not a word. No speeches at the UN. No condemnation of Nigeria for failing to protect its Christians. No ICJ cases. No international fundraisers.
Where is the President of Colombia? Where is Brazil’s leadership? Where is Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron or Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer? Why do we never hear them speak about Nigerian Christians? Why is there no aid sent to them? Why no protests? Why no university demonstrations? Why no global outrage, no media coverage, no flotilla sailing for the persecuted Christians of Nigeria?
Par vissirslikti vaimanām, un nav par ko balsot. Vienmēr var būt DAUDZ SLIKTĀK. Gribat katru rītu sagaidīt ar "rosļikova sveicienu"?
Aizvelcies un nobalso!
F*ck you. All of you.
Ukraine is doing what NATO was created for — deter russian aggression, invasion, occupation, genocide while you all hide behind Ukrainian defenders.

Americans will never be forgiven for what they're doing to Ukraine.
Stripping them of air defenses in order for the Russian missile barrages to force surrender.
This is America allowing this, not just Trump.
Forši, ka Oskars.⭐
Bet baigā vilšanās.
... Viņi bija tie, kam bija jäpiemin Ukraina. Ja Ukraina necīnītos, nebūtu varbūt nekādas Straumes.
