Everyone has a city where they can breathe deeply and be themselves.
For us, this is our inimitable, unique, and immortal capital 💛💙
Even when we're scared and lonely, we still remain here with all our hearts.
Long live our beautiful Kyiv! Happy 1544💪🌻💓 #KyivStands#Ukraine
Congratulations to Armenia on the beginning of its journey back to the free world.
The road ahead will not be easy, but your children, and Armenia itself, deserve something better than suffocating decline in the tightening claws of a senile, dumb, murderous, dying empire.
This weekend, Within Temptation vocalist Sharon den Adel shared words of support for Ukraine after the band's performance at the Rock am Ring festival in Germany 💙💛
And this is just one of many gestures of support the band has shown throughout the years of russia's full-scale invasion.
Just one week…
Kyiv region.
Sumy region.
Dnipro region.
Odesa region.
Donetsk region.
Kharkiv region.
Chernihiv region.
Kherson region.
Zaporizhzhia region.
Russia will not stop because it has destroyed enough.
It will stop only when it is stopped.
☢️ Another act of Russian nuclear terrorism.
A Russian Shahed drone directly struck the receiving facility of Ukraine's Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility in the Kyiv region.
Just 15 km from Chornobyl.
The facility is used for the long-term safe storage of spent nuclear fuel from Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
The fire has been extinguished, and radiation levels remain within normal limits.
Russia knows exactly what these facilities are. It knows the risks. And it keeps targeting them anyway.

This is not the first time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russia’s nuclear blackmail and threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable. They deserve worldwide condemnation and increased pressure on the aggressor. @iaeaorg

Sharon den Adel unfolded a Ukrainian flag with the 130th Separate Territorial Defense Battalion’s insignia, while performing at Rock am Ring in Germany.
Thank you for not hiding your feelings that are right💙💛

Today, June 6, is Ukraine’s Journalist Day.
They carried cameras instead of weapons. They told the world the truth — and were killed for it.
Nearly 30 journalists and media workers have been killed since the full-scale invasion.
We will remember every one of them.

82 years ago, Allied troops landed in Normandy—the largest seaborne operation in history. One that hugely contributed to the end of World War II.
D-Day remains an example of what the world can achieve when it works together against a global threat.
🧵
June 6 marks Journalist’s Day in Ukraine.
A a professional day of those who tell the truth, making sure everything important is heard and seen. Documenting the life amidst war as it is. So the entire world knows and never forgets.

No good news for the Russians.
By refusing President Zelenskyy’s offer for direct peace talks, Putin lost his chance to get out of his failed war.
Things will only get worse for Russia. Battlefield losses will continue to grow. Failures will get more humiliating.
The economy will plunge deeper into recession. More jobs will be lost, taxes will be growing, and inflation will hit those most vulnerable.
There are already no safe places in Russia that can be exempt from Ukraine’s long-range sanctions. But their intensity will continue to grow.
The international pressure will not ease. It will only get stronger. Including the use of frozen assets, travel bans, and inevitable accountability for crimes.
All of this because the fanatic in the Kremlin wants to keep in power at any cost and is ready to sacrifice his country’s future and kill millions of people for his insane delusions.
All of this because he doesn’t want to admit a simple truth: he will never achieve his goals on the battlefield and he better abandon his delusional hopes of Ukraine collapsing soon, support from its partners waning, or pressure on Russia easing.
Russia will still have to accept a diplomatic solution but the terms will be far worse.
Putin’s refusal of peace should lead to a significant increase in international pressure on Russia and support for Ukraine.
On June 6, 2023, russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam, committing an ecocide.
3 years on, millions of people are still living with the consequences, hundreds of species have been lost forever, and the region will take decades to recover🧵
Saving brother rabbit was a success🫡🐇
A hare, actually, but still — terrified by russian shelling like a bunny.
Ukraine’s defenders never abandon their smaller friends.
Putin needs war to survive, and anyone criticizing Ukraine for not surrendering "for peace" should realize that Russia's war would then continue, but without Ukraine defending Europe.
I promised to show Taras Shevchenko as an artist more often.
In 1846, he began drawing Kyiv.
Only 25 of the 45 numbered sheets from his album Views of Kyiv are known today. The rest are still missing.
