The Eve of Ivana Kupalo used to be my favourite holiday as a child, when I spent the summer in a village in Polissia, Ukraine.
Ivan Sokolov, "Night during Ivana Kupala", 1856
Idk who made y'all believe that most Russians don't support the war and Putin but it's not true. Most of them do support it, and that includes Russian athletes as well. Many of the Russian athletes y'all love support the war and Putin. The ones who don't are the minority
I often get accused of having a “pro-Ukraine bias.” Here’s the truth. I am biased.
I’m biased towards freedom, democracy, & human rights. That’s what Ukraine represents right now.
When you document war crimes, you don’t pretend there are “two sides” for balance. You show what is happening. One side is the aggressor. One side is the victim.
If that offends you, you’re morally bankrupt.
In the Treaty of Buczacz 1672, both the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire referred to the Cossack Hetmanate as the “Ukrainian State (Ukraińskie Państwo).”
Communism did not exist at that time.
Не всі пам'ятають що в Україні раніше було багато волів...ось так вони виглядали....
