The unsuccessful struggle to get Karjakin banned from chess has lasted more than 2 years.
Ukrainian Skeleton athlete Heraskevych tweeted this 2 years ago:
being ukrainian is such a superposition because you’re ‘too white’ to complain about russians genociding your people but not white enough to be in some serious allyship that WILL protect you
🇺🇦💔 Four coffins. A father and his three children.
Today, in the Kharkiv region, people bid farewell to Hryhorii Shykula and his three children — two-year-old Ivanko and Vladyk, and one-year-old Myroslava — who were killed as a result of a Russian strike on Bohodukhiv on February 10.
Hryhorii was a war veteran. He had lost a leg on the front line, yet he never lost his will to live — he endured where death stood рядом every day. He returned home to be a father, to hold his children in his arms, to hear their laughter. But in one night, the enemy took everything from him — his own life and the lives of three little angels who were peacefully sleeping beside him.
His 35-year-old pregnant wife was thrown by the blast wave onto the roof of a neighboring house. She survived by a miracle, left alone with a pain that words cannot measure.
There are no words that can ease such grief. There is only silence, tears, and anger at the injustice. Heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones, and everyone who knew this family. May their memory be bright, and their names never forgotten.
The world has no right to turn away from tragedies like this. Every lost life is a cry that must be heard. We must not grow accustomed to pain; we have no right to remain silent or look away. Indifference, too, is a silence that kills.
9 year-old, 🇺🇦 Oleksandra Paskal has ALREADY been banned for life from the @Olympics, they state that her showing off her prosthetic leg is 'politics' and unfair to the neutral 🇷🇺 russian athletes and the @iocmedia that might have to look at her.
