Hello everyone from a very wintry, cold Ukraine. Sorry for disappearing from here. If you’re interested in my life, feel free to check out my Instagram @patron_dsns. Here I used to share more about sorrows and joys, but for now there are more sorrows, so …
Although why “like” — it really is that way. I wanted to say a lot about what’s happening in the world, but you’ve already said everything here (I've been following you). Thank you for being with us and for supporting Ukraine. My team and I feel this support every day at work ❤️
I didn’t want to bring them here in a sack for you. Even though we’re in the cold and without electricity, we keep our optimism. We’ve invented so many games in the dark. Searching for cheese has become even more exciting when you do it unthinkingly.
Her direct quote is: “There are people who give life and those who take it away. The distance between them is greater than a thousand kilometers. Between them is an abyss into which goodness and love have been thrown.”
The Russians attacked a playground in Kryvyi Rih. Parents are mourning their child in the video, which will soon be taken down. Six children were killed. The author of my animated film lives near that place. I always ask how she’s doing. Today, I asked again 1/2
Happy St Patrick’s Day from the Irish Guards to our Ukrainian comrades; and from one loyal military canine mascot to another! Wear your shamrock with pride! ☘️ @irish_guards@PatronDsns
Hi friends, it’s Patron here! This Christmas, I’m asking for your help for someone very special to me — and to many children who’ve been through more than anyone should. 💙💛
While many of us are celebrating with warmth, love, and happy traditions, there are kids in Ukraine whose holidays are filled with pain. They’ve lost parents, homes, and a sense of safety because of the war.
That’s why my amazing friend and her team at Gen Ukrainian are working so hard to help. They run a program that offers psychological support for kids who’ve lost one or both parents in the war. In the past 2.5 years, they’ve already helped over 500 children who’ve faced unthinkable hardships — and this Christmas, they want to help 100 more.
Their goal is to raise €50,000, and there’s a wonderful bonus: the EBRD Community Initiative will double every donation!
So, I’m wagging my tail extra hard and asking for your support. Let’s give these kids the chance to heal, to smile, and to dream again. You can donate through the link in bio.
Together, we can bring them light and love this Christmas. Thank you for being the heroes they need. 🐾

Merry Christmas ❤️
I wrote a song about Christmas; here’s the link: https://t.co/sLRZl52DNu
It is in Ukrainian, but here I will translate the lyrics:
One day, my neighbor’s dog
Asked me with a cheer:
“Do you like to dream in winter,
Waiting for wonders near?”
I replied, “My dear friend,
I always keep my faith.
It’s not just a tradition—
It’s my lifestyle every day.”
Chorus:
A snowflake here,
A wish over there,
So much kindness in my heart.
This magic lives just at Christmas—
My dear ones believe in its spark.
One day, my neighbor’s cat
Asked me, sounding cold:
“How can you dream in winter
When ice takes its hold?”
I replied pretty quickly:
“There’s no secret at all.
We feel warm when we’re together,
Even in the frost’s call.”
Chorus:
A snowflake here,
A wish over there,
So much kindness in my heart.
This magic lives just at Christmas—
My dear ones believe in its spark.
I am so grateful to you, @SergiyKyslytsya, for everything you have done for Ukraine at the @UN. For every joke that highlighted the absurdity of a great country without heart and mind sitting in the ranks of this organization. If I could, I would applaud every day you represented Ukraine. Thank you!
