The main temple of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is the Dormition Cathedral.
Built in 1078.
Suffered destruction during the Mongol invasion in the 13th century.
Was blown up during World War II.
Damaged by russians in 2026.
I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.
This is what russia is destroying.
The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.
Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”
It’s literally barbarism.
I am so sick of this 🤮🤮🤮
Everywhere we go — Russia, Russia, Russia: new series or book, new angle, new “from Russia’s point of view.”
Always centered. Always humanized. Always “explained” . By whom?
The Western obsession with Russia is disgusting and willfully ignorant #Shame
They award them for existing, 4 “showing up.” 😂 4 imaginary resistance or writing A book, making A movie or being a widow …Just say what they want to hear and you’re redeemed, Ivan Masha Aleksey😂
They keep funding a “future democratic Russia” that never existed and never will.
They bend over backwards to intellectualize #RussianImperialism while ignoring the despicable reality of Indigenous nations inside RF. Not trendy enough, right? 🤷♀️
They platform Russian voices and shut down Ukrainian ones.
They patronize Ukrainians — telling us how we must feel, how we must speak, how we must “understand.” Stop being so emotional, they say…🙈
Meanwhile, Ukrainians are dying.
The ones who could have written or have written books
The ones who could have made films or have made
The ones who resist, fight, save lives, perform daily acts of heroism — unseen!!!
The athletes, actors, writers, ordinary people? Background noise bc Russia is always the main story
And Ukrainian suffering, genocide, erased cities — just another story to …redeem Russia.
Dear West, look in the mirror!
This is not tone-deaf. It’s moral vanity mixed with #neo_colonial_mindset arrogance.
You cry over Schindler’s List. You read Anne Frank’s diary. You watch films where evil is evil and heroes are heroes. But when the same crimes happen in real time- you call it “complexity” or “perspective.”
You reward #cowardice and #collaboration — as long as it’s Russian.
Look in the mirror- it’s an ugly rotten moral bankruptcy.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 will prevail and this moral bankruptcy will return to you — not once, but many times. Karma
P.S. @Apple - minus one subscription:)
So let me get this straight: A Ukrainian athlete wanting to wear a helmet commemorating those russia killed in its bloody invasion is forbidden, but a fucking 🇷🇺 russian tricolor is all fine and dandy with the @Olympics committee?
Fuck off.
- So you’re from Odessa, this is the most russian you can be👀
- Yeah😝
*sigh*
Odesa city in Ukraine is without electricity and heating because of russians attacking it daily btw
No, this is not a nuclear explosion. The rest of the world can still sleep and live in peace. This is just another night in Ukraine, the view from the window of an ordinary Kyiv resident.
You watch this through your phone screens, while we watch it from the windows of our own homes. This is just a fragment of the nightly madness that russia allows itself to unleash on the territory of my country. A shard torn out of the lives of Ukrainians. Yes, people died again tonight. Yes, there are wounded. Yes, there was another swarm of attack drones and missiles. It continues, and it feels as though no one can do anything about it.
Памʼятаєте Вітюка ?
Нагадаю, журналісти знайшли у нього елітної нерухомості на 25,5 мільйонів грн, після чого він спробував мобілізувати журналіста який провів розслідування.
Його навіть звільнили з посади керівника ДКІБ СБУ, і типу направили у зону бойових дій
Насправді ніхто не відправив, його залишили в Києві, а замість нього поїхала його брка
Чому ?
Бо якимось чином отримав звання Генерала))
Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna was tortured to death in Russian captivity, The Guardian
Her body was returned without eyes, brain, or larynx. Burn marks on her feet. Stab wounds. Broken rib. Signs of strangulation. 1/
Today, the Russians attacked an evacuation vehicle of the “Proliska” humanitarian mission using FPV drones, — Radio Liberty reports.
Proliska staff member Yevhen Tkachov was evacuating a married couple from the village of Zoria near Kostiantynivka. Two other vehicles carrying civilians who had also agreed to evacuate were following his car.
His vehicle was first struck by a drone with a fragmentation munition, and then two more drones attempted to target the people. Yevhen and a civilian woman were wounded.
So much for the Russians’ so-called “truce.”
Yesterday in Kryvyi Rih, Russians killed 18 people, including 9 children. One of them was 3 y.o. Tymofiy.
Why was he killed? Because the Russians are allowed to do so. Because the US condones the killing of children.
There is no other explanation for why we are asked to simply forgive them for the genocide.
This is what “voting” in occupied Ukrainian territories looks like:
No choice.
No abstention.
Only coercion under the gun.
This is, by no means, the will of the people — only the will of the armed russian invaders.
Civilian burns alive and screams in a major European capitol. Because Russia murdered him. I will remember these screams forever. I will remember the lies of Don Jr., Elon Musk, Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump and every right-wing influencer. I am very healthy. I will live long.
