Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

[Kateryna Bystrytska 🇺🇦 @bystrytska]

The whole work is about the time between the air alarm starts working and ends - hours of uncertainty when we are scrolling Telegram to check what type of drone or missile coming to us

It was my first #AOIR2024, and I presented the results from a one-year digital ethnographic observation of Telegram channels that monitor air threats during Russian attacks on Ukraine

#AOIR2024
Presenting today, and also have a list of panels/discussions to listen to! Quite excited to be at Sheffield this year

I still can’t believe it, but today, my friend, human rights defender Maksym Butkevych, was released from Russian captivity.

I mentioned him in my Nobel speech:
“So many human rights activists were compelled to defend what they believe in with arms in their hands. For example, my friend Maksym Butkevych, who is now in Russian captivity. He and other Ukrainian prisoners of war, as well as all detained civilians, must be released”.

Welcome home, dear friend!! ❤️

Russians use drones to attack civilians in Kherson, in what has become known as 'human safari'. A terrifying story by @KyivIndependent
“Under attack are people walking, driving, bicycling, going to work or standing by grocery stores.”

Kateryna Bystrytska analyzes Telegram channels that provide real time updates on air alarms, drone movements and missile threats. Her paper provides insights on how digital media shapes public understanding of war and facilitates civilian protection.

I look forward to seeing colleagues in Ottawa who also study Ukraine and presenting my work about Telegram channels that track and visualize drone movements during air attacks.

Had my first-ever experience of a poster presentation at @SocMediaConf - get so many ideas of how I can develop further my research about war news framing on TikToks #SMSociety 2024

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

A year after Russia deliberately destroyed the Kakhovka Dam, recently released footage of the act highlights the Western media's failure to properly report on Russia's war crimes.

[Kateryna Bystrytska 🇺🇦 @bystrytska]

My first conference as a PhD student – I was talking about understanding the war in Ukraine through the TikTok lens. It was also a great chance to learn more about fascinating research on mediating war-time Ukraine other people are doing #ASN2024 @ColumbiaSIPA

It’s Easter in Ukraine.

[Kateryna Bystrytska 🇺🇦 @bystrytska]

This is how "The Russian world saved Donbas" - totally ruined Avdiivka in the background, and still considered by russians as "saved."

[Diana Butsko @dianabutsko]

The Russians publish this picture of Avdiivka saying ‘The Russian world saved Donbas.’ Behind you may see the ruins of the city.

[Kateryna Bystrytska 🇺🇦 @bystrytska]

Because of the upcoming election, Telegram plans to improve the moderation process by employing AI tools. However, Durov believes that there is no need "to police people unless they cross the red line". But who will define the "red lines" for Telegram?

*decolonization of terminology

I feel that by naming all the countries as post-soviet, we lose an important ideological point - it was more than 60 years of Russian colonization, not an equal union of states. It is important to bring this decolonization lens.

[Harriman Institute @HarrimanInst]

Why did the @AP decide to stop using the term "post-Soviet" states? @jdaniszewski, AP Vice President and Editor at Large for Standards, explains in the new #HarrimanMag https://t.co/4ECXTsoTdl

First Oscar in Ukraine

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

🎞️ 20 Days in Mariupol won #Oscars2024 in the Documentary Feature Film category!

A film by Mstyslav Chernov about Russia's war crimes in #Mariupol in February-March 2022 — a film that is painful to watch. But it must be painful to watch.

The world deserves to know the truth 👏
