Київ. 4 роки тому.
Напередодні повномасштабного вторгнення ми дали сигнал світові та одне одному — ми будемо чинити опір.

Ми ще не знали, що чекає на Україну далі. Але знали точно, що обʼєднуючи зусилля, наші люди здатні на все.

4 роки тому. Наче 40 минуло. Зовсім з іншого життя.

[Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina]

I read about grandmother Zhenya, who froze to death in her apartment in Kyiv. She survived the Holocaust, but did not survive this winter. It turns out we were almost neighbors; she lived at Podil.

The Russians killed an elderly couple who were trying to evacuate on their own from an occupied village in the Sumy region. The man was pulling his wife on a sled through the snow. First, one FPV drone targeted the woman. The second drone attacked the already wounded man, who remained next to her body. 

In the Kharkiv region, Russian Shahed drones targeted a passenger train. The car caught fire, there were killed and injured people, and all the passengers were evacuated.

The Russians hit a residential building with a drone last night in the Kyiv region. A 4-year-old girl was rescued by a neighbor. Her parents were crushed and burned alive.

Next week it will be minus - 22 C (degree Celsius), -7.6 F (degree Fahrenheit), so there will be large-scale shelling again on the weekend.

People are freezing not just in Kyiv. This photo is from Lviv. The temperature in the room when there is no electricity. 12°C (degree Celsius) is 53.6°F (degree Fahrenheit).

Why has Trump's year of negotiations with Putin become the deadliest year for civilians in Ukraine since 2022? 

Because the human dimension in this war doesn't matter to the US negotiators. So, Putin decided he could do whatever he wanted.

Kyiv is the only capital on earth where New Year arrives in silence.

While the world celebrates with fireworks, Ukrainians have to listen for drones.

Wherever you are in the world, think of Ukraine and remember who caused this

[Yulia Svyrydenko @Svyrydenko_Y]

On this day in history, Russians began a three day operation that would be the largest mass deportation operation of the dark Soviet era, with the forced deportations of over 90,000 people from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to the far reaches of Siberia, where many eventually died in labor camps.

Russians even gave the operation a colorful name - Operation "Priboi" (Operation "Tidal Wave").

Moscow's intent in the Baltics in 1949 was the same as we see today in Ukraine—the destruction of national identity, the severing of family bonds and centuries of tradition, replacing it with "Russia".

Only this week, the Russian dictator signed a decree mandating that residents of the occupied areas of Ukraine must accept Russian passports or face deportation.

Different century. Same crimes. Same Russia.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own. Then we see if there is any actual US policy to get Russia to do what Ukraine has done, to accept a ceasefire, or if the US is an ally of Russian imperialism and this whole process has just been a cover story for American submission to Russian wishes. If Witkoff comes back from Russia endorsing Russian demands regarding Ukrainian sovereignty we have our answer. Russia has no more right to dictate anything that happens inside Ukraine than Ukraine has to dictate what happens inside Russia. And the "root causes" of this war are all inside Russia, as the Russians are reminding us.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Surprise! The Russians, after repeatedly saying they don't want a ceasefire, have once again said they don't want a ceasefire.

[Tetyana Bohdanova @TetyUAna]

@RepJoeWilson And what are you and your party doing about it?

[Serhii Sternenko @sternenko]

Russians hit the sarcophagus of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

This is a peace signal. Putin simply wants peace. Look, russia is for peace. Peace, isn't it clear?

Шахеди: летять на Ізраїль.
Світ: третя світова вже тут.

Шахеди: щоночі тероризують мільйони українців, руйнують цивільну інфраструктуру, вбивають дітей.
Світ: не чує баба.

Giving Ukraine ammunition as urgently as possible is in everyone's best interest. If not for the protection of lives then to avoid another influx of refugees in the EU, UK, and the US

[Oleksandr Polianichev @OPolianichev]

10 days ago, taking advantage of Ukraine's depleted air defences, Russia began systematically attacking the country's thermal and hydro power plants. As of now, most of them are either damaged or destroyed entirely. A major humanitarian crisis is looming.

🔍Journalists, activists, rights defenders & law enforcement increasingly use crowdsourcing to document war crimes during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. What are the benefits & challenges of this information-gathering method in investigations? By @TetyUAna➡️https://t.co/9IbguMeIrB

If you are an American and support Ukraine's resistance to Russia's genocidal invasion, contact your elected representatives and ask them to support H.R. 815.

Слухайте, я вигадав ідею для фільму Марвел про Україну.

Засновок: росія нападає на Україну і Нік Ф'юрі вирішує відправити нам на допомогу Месників.
Але є одне але - Нік Ф'юрі боїться ескалації...

A Russian from St. Peterburg: "Came to Mariupol with the family for vacation. Will probably buy an apartment here while the prices are still not too high. Great climate, the sea, and of course no Ukrainians. Only positives."
Genocide tours, you know. As one does.
