In candlelight, I was composing this speech in my kitchen during the electricity disconnection. I was composing it in intervals between my working meetings. On the train, for long while I was meticulously considering what to mention in this speech. 1/6
Russia attacks critical civilian infrastructure to keep Ukrainian children in the dark. But children study, read, play and overcome darkness. 1/2

I admire girls and women fighting for freedom in Iran. They face beatings, torture, and murders. They have no other tools, just their own words and their position. And they prove that it is such a powerful thing.

This is Viktoriia. Today she died in Kyiv. Her colleagues write that her body was found in her beloved husband Bohdan's embrace, their cat was with them in the building attacked with the Russian drone. She was pregnant. They had been expecting for child.
This video is extremely powerful! This girl wrote that her father is a Ukrainian defender. She is proud of him and is waiting for him to return home.

I started this day by writing to my colleague in Dnipro asking if everything is okay with her. At night there were heavy shelling by Russia. In the morning, we learned about new dead and wounded. Among dead is this family with children, only their dog survived.

Impressive photo from protest in Russia against mobilisation. The victory of Ukraine will give a chance for democratic future of Russia as well. That’s why my Russian colleagues who suffered from putin’s regime for years told me: “If you want to help us, please, be successful”.
I really want as many people as possible to watch these video. Try to imagine yourself in the place of these people. Their cities were occupied by a foreign army and now people with guns come to their apartments and demand to vote for joining Russia. Fake “referendums”.
Nataliya Gudziy, a Ukrainian singer based in Japan, sang the Ukrainian version of "Give me wings", a famous Japanese song containing the message of longing for freedom and a life without sorrowfulness.
