I am a Korean-Ukrainian, or Koryo-saram. This is who we are and why we are resisting Russian imperialism - quick thread.

Sharing here on behalf of @VinokCollective. Thank you Maria for amplifying Korean-Ukrainian voices.

I am the Ukrainian skeleton racer who was wrongfully disqualified from the Olympics last month because of my “Memory Helmet.”

Tonight in Milano-Cortina, the Paralympic Games are opening. The Committee has bizarrely permitted Russian soldier-athletes to participate under the Russian flag.

The head of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) literally stated that they don’t care about what Russian soldiers did in Ukraine. The problem is that we do care.

They are killing Ukrainians on the battlefield, bombing our cities, and committing genocide. Now, with this step of allowing them to compete, the IPC is giving them the opportunity to continue committing genocide by spreading Russian narratives with Russian flags and symbols.

They try to manipulate the situation by pointing out that the movement started after World War II, but during World War II the Olympic Games were cancelled, and German athletes were not invited and did not take part in the Games until 1952.

It looks like the head of the IPC doesn’t know the history of the Olympic and Paralympic movement at all.
What a shame.
This whole story is just getting worse and worse.

This is how our champions look like. Thank you and my deepest respect to you, Vladyslav

Це ціна нашої гідності.
This is price of our dignity.

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question. 

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.
Why did Putin not allow himself such brutal strikes on civilian infrastructure under Biden, whom Trump calls “weak,” but totally destroys peaceful cities and disregards the “strong Trump”?

🇯🇵🇺🇦 Here’s to the e-gate assistant at Haneda Airport who, after helping me scan my passport, shouted ‘Slava Ukraini!’ — leaving me speechless and my Taiwanese friends in tears. Thank you

I had the honour to join @olekshyn in the first episode of The Untranslatables Project, a collaborative podcast between @RadioTaiwan_Eng and @risingvoices.

We discussed language documentation, and johar, a term for greeting, respect, and solidarity.

🚨 Some Ukrainian children abducted by Russia were forcibly transferred to North Korea and placed in military camps, Ukrainian human rights organizations say. This was just announced at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.

[Olga Rudenko @olya_rudenko]

Somehow, Trump administration doesn’t get Ukraine. They think Zelensky’s corruption scandal opens a window to push him in accepting a bad peace deal.

But the very same Ukrainians who are enraged with corruption are also the ones who won’t let Zelensky accept a bad deal.

If anything, the scandal makes him LESS likely to accept any concessions.

@saamohod В цьому маєте рацію. Чого в таких повідомленнях точно нема, то це злого наміру 🙏

Молодець, справжній козак! (бо по виду і не скажеш)

Бачу, синку, що не м*скаль (бо я ж бачу тільки расу)

*Навіть він* вивчив, а у вас чєлюсть нєтакая… («Чувак, який виріс у херсонському селі зміг, то і ви зможете» Так? Ні, бо мова знову ж таки про расу)

[Olek Shyn 申武松 @olekshyn]

@AngelicaOung Angelica you do realise that Russian-speaking Ukrainians like myself are also Ukrainians, right?

And that we are also among those ‘offended’ when spoken to in Russian and switching in light of what’s happening now & history of Russification?

I want to believe you’re capable

[Brian Hioe 丘琦欣 @brianhioe]

Spoke with @olekshyn on @RadioTaiwan_Eng about the recalls

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv.

This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it.

The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

8 people killed, 77 injured, an entire residential block wiped out in west Kyiv.

Tomorrow is an official day of mourning.

Russia is brazenly killing, killing, killing, and killing people in Ukraine, while Donald Trump seems to have run out of ways to appease Putin, who openly laughs at him and spits in his face.

[Natalka @NatalkaKyiv]

Ukrainian teen karate star Yevhenii Melnyk, just 13, made a bold stand at a competition in Spain, refusing to snap a photo beside Russian athlete Igor Grigorev.

Listen to how he explains his actions.

President Zelenskyi published the names of kids, innocent victims of the russian terror attack against Kryvyi Rih residential district.

Never forgive.
Never forget.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Russians just killed innocent children in Kryvyi Rih. In the photo, the child's parents are mourning next to them.

This is not a country that wants peace. It's a country that wants genocide.

[Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina]

Half an hour ago, Russia launched a missile at Kryvyi Rih. Just at an area with residential buildings. As of now, 14 people are known to have died. Among the dead are 6 children. Putin promised Trump not to shell civilian objects. Putin lied again.

[maksym eristavi. @maksymeristavi]

one of the darkest days in this genocide. russian culture is to hit a children’s playground in Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile. 16 murdered, most are kids

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

Six children confirmed murdered by russia.
Six children.
Unforgivable.
Unforgivable.
Unforgivable.
