Volodymyr Zelenskyy's short vid is one of the great wartime speeches.

Some people are tough while other people with porcine mouths just like to talk tough while hiding behind bone spurs.

3 years since beginning of full-scaled war. 3 years since my life changed forever. 3 years as I learn about things I wish I didn't have to. Russia will fall. Ukraine will win. And there's no other way. Together we will do it. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

[littleshploinka]

Ten years ago the russian set foot in my country. The russian raped. The russian killed. The russian pillaged. The world kept on silently turning, ignorant of what Ukraine was going through. Peace of mind was higher on the list of priorities than peace.

But then the 24. February 2022 happened. And the world seemed to, for the first time, notice.

It's 26. February 2024 now. Two years and two days since.

Last year I was thankful for my comfort, yet this year I am revolted by the comfort those around me choose to bask in, consciously buying it with the lives of those they deem far enough away to be expendable.

It's been two years and still the russian rapes, kills, pillages, tortures, steals, defiles and rapes again and kills again. And the "war in Ukraine" is still somehow a controversial topic and the life of the Ukrainian mother, child, husband, uncle, grandmother, neighbour, friend, or classmate is but a statistic.

So I address this post to you, the comfortable one.

Look in the eyes of the pregnant woman raped to death by russian soldiers and tell her "you're a statistic".

Look in the eyes of the man shot by russian soldiers while on his way to feed his elderly mother and tell him "you're a number".

Look in the eyes of the child bringing canned food to their mother's grave after she was starved to death by russian soldiers sieging Mariupol and tell them "your mother is a number".

And to you compassionate ones:

Break the silence. Speak and scream and sing of russia's crimes and Ukraine's resistance,

Donate. A dollar, two, five, ten, twenty. Alone, with your family, with your friends. Buy a vest, helmet, a bandaid, a meal, a drone.

You can save a life.

I'll keep on doing just that. I will shout and donate and cry. And hope we can finally heal. Hope we can finally grieve.

Hope we can finally.

Fucking.

Rest.

Слава Україні 🇺🇦

That is what ruzzians did with my house recently.

8th of July, 2024. ruzzian terrorists bombed many buildings of Kyiv, including Okhmatdyt hospital. however, let me show you what they did to my house that very day (the hospital is kinda close to us). I survived the first wave of rockets on my floor, I also monitored the next one, but sadly did not have time to get to a safe place in the elevator. in front of my eyes, under extremely powerful explosions, the neighbour's door flew off its hinges, the ceiling crumbled (did not fall), and the entire floor was covered in a fog of dust. speaking nervously, most likely delusional, I went down (it was also dangerous to do, NEVER DO THAT, PLEASE). I picked up a neighbor’s girl (a teenager) on the floors below, whom I thought I left in the house where the door was broken (I was afraid, I аm sorry, I was afraid to come closer, I was only thinking about myself); well...everything went well: the girl managed to go down the stairs before the rocket detonated. the neighbors were scared, a few of them were crying, we had an injured child (of preschool age, her temple was covered in blood), I filmed a little of what was on the street. my hands were shaking, I could not call anyone, I just mumbled something. my relatives came as fast as they could (I live with one of them), they even dared to go up to the apartment, clean it up a bit, and then we left the house and now live in another one.

it is temporary, of course. yesterday, I went to clean the house (as you can see in the video), it is almost clean of glass and pieces of walls. we are going to fix the windows ourselves, because it will be 100 years before the state does them. however, this bittersweet memory of how I almost died at home (it was a cruise rocket...the ballistics would have buried us all alive) would never allow my already shaky mental state to recover.

I have been trying to shout at people for a long time about two things: ruzzia must be destroyed; Ukraine must receive comprehensive assistance. I don't care how many kidneys I will later sell to the USA, Britain or Germany to thank for the fact that my country will live in peace, I am ready for anything, as long as children stop dying in front of my eyes. I heard the moaning of people under the rubble, I regretted that I was living instead of the dead. we are not a third world country. we deserve to exist, and fucking ruzzians are not allowed to decide our fate.

Коли я вперше побачив тебе в школі, я зрозумів по твоїй зовнішності, що ти будеш мати найкращі оцінки в класі.

Так і сталося.

По тому, як ти посміхався і сміявся, я знав, що ти завоюєш серце кожної ді��чини в школі.

Так і сталося.

Коли ми були у випускному класі, всі думали, що ти ��играєш чемпіонат з тенісу для нашої школи.

І ти виграв.

Коли ти запросив мене на побачення, ти пообіцяв, що завжди кохатимеш мене.

І ти кохав.

Коли нашу церкву розбомбили, я знав, що ти будеш першим, хто допоможе відновити її, тому що твоя любов до Нього була понад усе.

Так і сталося.

Коли тебе призвали в армію, я знала, що ти віддаси все за свою країну і помреш за її свободу.

Так і сталося.

Дмитро, ти залишив мене з порожнім серцем і головою, повною спогадів.

Today it’s the 24th of February, 2 years after the full-scale war started in Ukraine. Most know that this isn’t completely out of the blue, since Crimea was invaded 10 years ago, but let’s go back even further.

During the first world war, Ukraine was torn to pieces, literally, it was occupied by Poland, Russia, France, anarchists, and the Whites, Kyiv changed hands over five times in a year, communication inside and outside the country was almost completely cut off.

This war eventually resulted in the Soviet Union occupying Ukraine. Due to this Ukrainian people fought in the Soviet army. At the end of the war Ukraine did gain some independence, for some decisions, such as being accepted into NATO as Ukraine, rather than as the Soviet Union.

On the 21st of January 300 000 Ukrainians lined themselves up between Kyiv and Lviv, forming a human chain for independence and on the 24th of August Ukraine declared itself independent from the Soviet Union.

In 2004 there were presidential elections between Yushchenko and Yanukovich, in which Yanukovich won, however the results were falsified, and the Ukrainians protested for 2 months, this is known as the Orange revolution. The protestors won, and the elections were re-done, where Yushchenko won fair and square.

6 years later there are new elections, in which Yanukovich wins, again, fairly. He promised that he’d integrate Ukraine with Europe and join the EU. However, in 2013 when he was about to sign the agreements to improve relations with the EU, he made a complete 180 degree turn, and spoke about rebuilding relations with Russia. This, naturally made upset the Ukrainians very upset, so they protested for three months straight. They’d eat and sleep on the streets to protest every minute of every day and night, this resulted in police brutality. Every February 20th the people lost during these protests are mourned for their sacrifices for Ukraine’s freedom.

Yanukovich, unable to resist these protests fled the country, While the population was looking for a new president Russia invaded Crimea, there was a referendum, which was accepted due to the pressure and the country we are dealing with, Crimea was taken, and soon the fight over Donetsk and Luhansk begins.

Then, on the 24th of February, the full-scale invasion begins. Ukrainians have fought strongly, never ever giving up, fighting for there freedom, for the freedom of Europe, fighting for the truth and honesty Russia has yet to show. Take a minute today, after reading this far (thank you for still sticking around!) and thank the Ukrainians who have lost their lives in these battles, those who have lost their lives in merciless attacks, and those left behind.

Now, let’s listen to the experiences of one awesome Ukrainian: Living in war is terrifying, “you stop caring about food, sleep. Just staying alive, only thing that matters. We [Ukrainians are] Europeans. We’re not Russia. We died for this, and we continue to fight, every day, for this. We’re not just some people dying somewhere. We are real! We have our language, our songs, our fairytales. We exist. We matter.

Finally, a line from the Ukrainian anthem: "Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу, І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду” Meaning “We'll lay down our souls and bodies to attain our freedom, And we'll show that we, brothers, are of the Cossack nation” Слава Українi!

« [I]n 1994 Ukraine, which had the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, relinquished its nuclear warheads as part of a complete nuclear disarmament. It did so in exchange for iron-clad security guarantees from the US, UK and Russia. Donald Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine (or, worse, active sabotage by cutting it off from some intelligence sharing) and in-process realignment of the US with Vladimir Putin’s geostrategic objectives guarantees that no state will ever do anything similar in the future. »

— Alexander Hurst at The Guardian.

In 1994 under an agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in return for security guarantees. Donald Trump has removed those guarantees. In doing so, Trump has increased the likelihood of nuclear war.

As Hurst explains...

[I]n 1994 Ukraine, which had the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, relinquished its nuclear warheads as part of a complete nuclear disarmament. It did so in exchange for iron-clad security guarantees from the US, UK and Russia. Donald Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine (or, worse, active sabotage by cutting it off from some intelligence sharing) and in-process realignment of the US with Vladimir Putin’s geostrategic objectives guarantees that no state will ever do anything similar in the future.

Russia would not have attacked Ukraine if the latter had nukes. Because of Trump's failure to support Ukraine, other countries will try to acquire nuclear weapons because they know they can't count on American promises and treaty agreements.

Trump has made this a less safe planet in addition to jeopardizing American national security.

Greetings and lots of love from Germany also. I'm a bit of a coward but someone else said something so now Im doing it too. Thank you french anon for being braver than me.

Please know that you have support from here also. Every day I think about the people of Ukraine, and I think about you, and hope that happier days will come soon. I think about you every time I put on my work coat, it has a 🇺🇦 pin on it. I hope that's not silly to you. But I want to show support somehow.

I don't really know what is appropriate to say, but please know that you are all in our hearts. I wish I could give you a hug.

Fuck Russia. Слава Україні. (google translated that, sorry if it's incorrect)

I hope at least the sunrise is beautiful tomorrow. You'll see it a few hour(s) before I do. I will look at the sun and think of you.

Lots of love, and good luck with your studies, and whatever else you do.

So, I drew this one year ago and the war still goes on. Two years now. Thousands of people have died and millions suffer. Mothers , fathers , women , children and friends hope everyday that their soldiers and loved ones come home alive. Not only Ukrainians but also Russian families whose relatives are being forced into this war by Putin. Please help Ukraine.

Слава Україні. Героям слава.
