Маю честь знати прекрасну і талановиту людину, і називати його своїм другом і товаришем.
За часів нашої бурхливої юності ми пили дуже дешеве вино і співали піснів до самого ранку. Тепер Іван на війні. Вдома на нього чекає сім'я і ще сотні ненаписаних віршів.
She was lying there, raped, her neck broken, with a noose around her neck. Beside her hung her 3-year-old son.
When they took him down from the rope, he was blue and no longer breathing.
But then a miracle happened. And what this child said a year later will break your heart.
June 20, 2022. Kherson region, an occupied village. At two in the morning, the wife of a Ukrainian serviceman managed to message her husband that someone was breaking down the door to their home.
His sister arrived an hour later. The gate was locked, so she climbed over the fence.
The door had been ripped from its frame, and a window was smashed. Nothing had been stolen. They had not come to rob them. They had come to kill.
In the room, her sister-in-law was lying on the couch, undressed and brutally beaten. Her head was twisted unnaturally, her neck was broken, and there was a noose around her neck. She was 28.
Beside her hung her three-year-old son. He had also been beaten, with about a dozen cigarette burns on his face. The rope was pulled so tightly around his neck that the woman tore her fingernails bloody trying to untie it.
The child was blue. His head was swollen from edema. He was no longer breathing.
The woman screamed at him: “Breathe! Live! Because I won’t be able to live with this — I’ll lie down beside you and die too.”
She performed CPR on him. She was afraid she would break his ribs — she didn’t. And he began to breathe.
He had watched his mother being killed. And she had watched her child being tortured. The window had been broken — people nearby had heard what was happening, but no one admitted it.
Then came three weeks in occupied Kherson. The woman waited for the burns and the rope mark around the child’s neck to heal.
What had not healed, she covered with makeup so they would not be recognized and killed immediately.
At the hospital, they warned her: “If they try to detain you, run. Half the hospital is occupied by FSB officers.”
To get the boy out, the woman forged documents directly on her phone using Photoshop. She was taking him out as if he were her own son. Thirty checkpoints lay ahead.
At one of them, a rifle was pressed against her temple. One Russian said, “Get rid of these two.” Another replied, “No, I’ve had enough for today.” The first said, “I’m fine with it.”
He was wearing a wedding ring. Perhaps a wife and children were waiting for him at home. And he was perfectly fine with killing a woman and a child sitting in a car.
Three days on the road. The woman pressed the pedals with one leg because the other had become paralyzed.
At a filtration checkpoint, a young officer asked whether anyone in the car had survived torture.
She said: “Yes.”
Is anyone injured? — Yes.
Has anyone been tortured? — Yes.
When she pointed to the three-year-old child, the officer began to cry. He could not continue the conversation.
In Odesa, doctors diagnosed the boy with clinical death, asphyxia, cerebral edema, a damaged wrist joint, a jaw injury, and eight broken teeth.
He stopped speaking — his muscles had atrophied. His speech development was set back by a year.
They now live in Odesa. The boy speaks again, goes swimming, attends kindergarten, and works with a speech therapist.
He knows that his mother is gone. A year after the tragedy, he went outside one evening, pointed his little finger toward the sky, and said:
“Moon, sky, Mommy.”
The boy’s father is a serviceman. When they arrived in Odesa, he met them deeply devastated. He was able to stay with them for two weeks — as long as his command allowed.
“He could have left the military and become his son’s guardian. But he didn’t. Because he is a patriot. Because he continues to fight,” she said.
And after the liberation of the left bank of the Kherson region, there will be many more.

When a political convoy drives through moscow while dragging an American flag along the pavement, it creates a profound sense of dissonance for me.
In the United States, the image of russians has been shaped largely by popular culture: the “tough guys,” the Kalashnikov, vodka, contempt for rules, and the romanticization of dangerous and brutal characters. For years, part of the Western audience has treated this image as something exotic, sometimes even as something to admire. And apparently, many still do.
But this is not the first time people in russia have deliberately dragged the American flag along the ground during political events. Scenes like this clearly show the image of the United States that has been cultivated for years in russia’s political and information space.
Many people seem to have forgotten that russian state television openly talked about reducing the United States to “radioactive ash.”
Some may argue that Trump’s relationship with putin has changed the situation. But this video from moscow was filmed only a few days ago.
And this is where a phrase you sometimes hear becomes especially significant: “I don’t care what’s happening in Ukraine.”
russia’s war against Ukraine is part of a much broader worldview - one in which power gives states the right to redraw borders, international rules apply only when convenient, and stronger countries feel entitled to impose their will on weaker ones.
Ukraine is paying the highest price today for resisting that worldview.
And when yet another American flag ends up being dragged through the streets of moscow, the question has long since gone beyond Ukraine - how many more signals like this will it take before russian anti-Americanism stops being dismissed as television theater?
And the more important question is this - what exactly is the current US political leadership’s trust in russia based on?
Looking at what is happening, it increasingly feels as though Ukraine is one of the few countries that sees modern russia without romanticization or illusions.
Perhaps that is exactly why Ukrainians understand something so clearly: when an aggressive ideology is dismissed for years as mere rhetoric, one day it stops being just words.
🧵URGENT. HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN OLESHKY/THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF THE KHERSON REGION.
I am writing to urgently draw global attention to a severe humanitarian crisis on the Russian-occupied left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region of Ukraine, to seek immediate action
Це співзасновниця організації Humanity, вони безкоштовно вивозять людей з ТОТ. Вона пише про ситуацію в Олешках - виїзд людей заблоковано, в них немає їжі та ліків. Це катастрофа, про яку треба розповідати зараз
1.09 біля нашого притулку впав і здетонував дрон…
У результаті вибуху пошкоджені та побиті вікна й двері у приміщеннях, де живуть наші котики та собаки. Також постраждали речі, паркани та інше майно притулку. Тварини цілі, це головне🙏
Просимо вас допомогти з відновленням
нічого незвичного, просто російські юніори катають під український Щедрик на міжнародному етапі Гран-прі з фігурного катання
цю грязь тільки допустили до змагань, а вони вже показали всю свою суть
🤡🤡🤡
Це не кіт, це мем)))
Будь ласка, благаю, допоможіть репостами.
У нас дуже мало часу. Котику, дозволили побути в приміщенні добу, тут починається ремонт.
Перетримки немає.
Кременчук/Київ. Розглянемо і інші міста.

@strykoza_ua Так, їм краще. Хто ж уявляє себе хлопцем з багатодітної бідної сім'ї, який з 10 років практикує бача-базі? В своїй уяві вони поважні пани, в кожного з яких по гарему малих дівчат. Все це вологі мрії. Бо що заважає нашим інцельчикам попіздувать в Афганістан жить омріяним життям?

Будь ласка, допоможіть @lupine_grove врятувати кошенят

Люпин зможе забрати котенят, коли влни будуть готові до переїзду!!
Якщо в когось є знайомі/родичі у Луцьку, котрі люблять і турбуються про тваринок, прошу покажіть їм цього песика🙏
Басті втратив власника та дім, і став приречений сидіти на ціпку в незнайомих людей. З цим зникли апетит і бажання жити, але йому всього 5-6 років!
