"You’re not only heroes at home, you’re heroes around the world for standing up to tyranny. And you show to the rest of the world that might doesn’t make right. That if you have justice on your side, you will prevail"

Literally no English-speaking people know this so I wanna share because I think it's the funniest shit ever

Y'know the quote "russian warship, go fuck yourself" that a Ukrainian guy said on the Snake Island? It became very popular among Ukrainians and was referenced in many other countries.

Ukrainians designed lots of merchandise with it, like stamps and patches, a lot of which was directed at charity early on. Then somebody made this:

The design aims to make the word "go" resemble the Ukrainian trident (coat of arms)

However, at some point people started using it without the russian warship part a lot more often. So I present to you this "patriotic mug", "patriotic pendant", and a "patriotic pillow" all of which say "go fuck yourself"

the full phrase was also very commonly displayed on billboards uncensored... there were a lot more important things to worry about other than keeping street ads appropriate lol

I feel like saying "idi nahui" lost all its offensiveness idk when I hear it I think of the meme 💀💀

What is the best way to financially help Ukraine? Is it better to go through organizations or gofundmes or something else I'm not aware of?

Thanks for asking, nonnie. That's very kind of you. If you or anyone else has some spare change and wants to give, here are a few ideas:

United24 is the official fundraising platform established by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian governmental members and directs money to all areas of the country.

The Olena Zelenska Foundation is primarily focused on medical, humanitarian, and educational aid across the country and was founded by the First Lady.

Stand for Ukraine gives you a range of charity options, depending on whether you want to donate directly to the military, or you would prefer to fund non-lethal or humanitarian aid, etc.

Come Back Alive is the main fundraising platform for the Ukrainian military. You can choose to donate to air defense, heavy weapons, demining, medical aid, overall combat equipment, etc.

Donate to Ukraine's Defenders also offers various (carefully vetted) links and options to donate to rebuilding projects, private medical assistance programs, initiatives for democracy, and others.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, is one we visited in my Ukraine thread on December 2, 2023. The Desna River (Річка Десна). It starts in muscovy and flows into Ukraine. I'm adding it to my Ukraine thread again because muscovy has poisoned the waters of the Desna River in an act of ecocide. The current administration of the US is so worried about eScAlaTiOn that muscovy is getting away with things like poisoning a river. Destroying a dam and flooding thousands of acres. Taking over a nuclear power plant.

The scale of the destruction is so huge that you can literally see the front line from space. That smooth area in the image is the flattened front line area. Forest areas and steppe lands are being destroyed.

The last part obviously didn't have to do with the poisoning of the river. I included that to show how horribly massive the amount of destruction muscovy is causing to the ecology of Ukraine.

Just adding another bit to this post.

Any asshole responding to my Ukraine posts from muscovy with nasty and rude comments can fuck off. Their responses will be deleted, and their accounts will be blocked. I will not entertain muscovy terrorist pieces of shit. And even if you respond in "russian," I will still verify the crap you're spewing, delete it, and block your account. The one I just did replied in "russian" to this post telling me that I "have a toilet in my head." Nope, that's actually you effing muscovy terrorists.

the Christmas trees of Kyiv, Ukraine — 2019 / 2020 / 2021 / 2022

[odinsblog]

Dozens of Ukrainian children from a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine were taken to Belarus and sent to “emergency survival training” with the Belarusian military, according to local media.

The Belarus 4 Mogilev state television channel reported on Wednesday that 35 children from the city of Antratsyt in eastern Ukraine, which Russia has occupied since 2014, were sent to the eastern Belarusian city of Mogilev, where they were taught “how to behave in extreme situations” in exercises with the Belarusian military.

In the report, the children — some of whom are wearing tracksuits with Russian flags printed on their sleeves — are shown holding on to each other and covering their faces during a fire drill.

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia and Belarus from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. In July 2023, Russian Children’s Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova put the figure of Ukrainian children “received” by Russia at 700,000, claiming most were accompanied by their parents or other relatives.

A study by Yale University found that between September 2022 and May 2023, over 2,400 Ukrainian children aged 6 to 17 were deported to Belarus from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, which are occupied by Russian forces.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko met with a group of deported Ukrainian kids last month, promising to “embrace these children, bring them to our home, keep them warm and make their childhood happier.”

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of overseeing the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.
