We are also delighted to see that this immensely important work has reached Colonel Armel Dirou and Dr. Céline Marangé, Senior Research Fellow for Russia and Ukraine. It gives us hope to know that the world is so interested in what Ukrainian military commanders have to say.
Scars and Seeds by @SerhiiSobko is travelling the world, and we are proud that, thanks to @Orysiaua Lutsevych, the book is now available in the library of @ChathamHouse in London.
Today, on Constitution Day, we're sharing a few articles from the Constitution of Ukraine that we keep coming back to. It's easy to take for granted, but every day we live by the values it protects.
Sobko writes with a clear purpose: to share Ukraine’s experience with Western military and political audiences while there is still time to learn from it. The book brings together frontline insight and strategic analysis, showing how this war is being fought.
Pre-order is now open for Scars and Seeds: Reckonings from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine by @SerhiiSobko.
Written by a Ukrainian brigade general currently in command, this book offers a perspective that almost never reaches print.

Funny how things can work out.
Check out @penas_alvaro’s answers—and see how one moment he’s following @dim0kq on Twitter, and the next he’s the Spanish translator and a true ambassador of "Ordinary Guy at War".
Perhaps this is what March 8 means today in Ukraine: recognizing the way women fight and carry memory, grief, care, and courage — often all at once. And how, even in the hardest times, they remind us of something essential: to hold on to one another while we still can.
International Women’s Day was born from women demanding the right to be heard. Today, Ukrainian women continue that tradition in their own way.
That’s why we asked several of our authors a question that opens space for reflection:What would you tell yourself on February 24, 2022?
The war no longer shocks the world the way it once did, misunderstanding still shapes how it’s described, simplifications persist.
On the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, we are choosing precision and laying out the record as it stands.
In reality, Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014, occupying more than 7% of Ukrainian sovereign territory. More than 14000 Ukrainians died in this war prior to 24 February 2022. Around 1500000 people were displaced and lost their homes.
So if you choose to mark this day by giving someone a book about Ukraine, projects like #UkrainianBookChallenge and @ChapterUkraine can be especially helpful places to start.
Today is International Book Giving Day. For us at Kovyla, books are never simple objects or pleasant distractions; they are witnesses shaped by memory, loss, love, and endurance, and when you pass one on, you are sharing not only a text but also time and responsibility.
