#Russia Last War

Why Ukraine May Be Russia Last War

The war in Ukraine may very well be Russia’s last war or, at the very least last major war they will be able to fight effectively in this century; this is Russia’s last opportunity to conquer The Carpathian Mountains, having a range of 1,500km-long range

The war in Ukraine may very well be Russia’s last war or, at the very least last major war they will be able to fight effectively in this century; this is Russia’s last opportunity to conquer The Carpathian Mountains, having a range of 1,500km-long range in Central and Eastern Europe. They stretch west to east in an arc from the Czech Republic to Romania. The Tatra range between Slovakia and…

A Story About A Ukrainian Book

Once upon a time, there was a Ukrainian writer of children's stories and poems Volodymyr Vakulenko.

When Russians occupied Izyum - the town he lived in - he hid his manuscripts under a cherry tree in his garden.

One day, Russians came in, took him, and killed him.

Once upon a time, there was a Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina. She came to Izyum after Ukrainian army liberated it and found Vakulenko's manuscripts and sent them to be published.

One day, when Victoria was showing foreign journalists around in a beautiful city of Kramatorsk, Russian missile flew in the café they were dining in and killed her.

Once upon a time, there was a Ukrainian book publishing agency Vivat. It was one of the biggest in the whole country. Vivat took Volodymyr's manuscripts from Victoria, worked diligently to compile them and published them.

One day, Russian missiles flew in the building, where Vivat publishing agency was, and destroyed it completely.

The End.

well that's fucking awesome. all of the damage russians have done to our electric infrastructure can be repaired in one year minimum. IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE TAHN ONE YEAR TO REPAIR ALL OF THE ELECTRIC STATIONS RUSSIANS HIT WITH THEIR MISSILES. AND WE AIN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT CIVILIAN OR ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. ONLY ELECTRIC ONE. MORE THAN ONE YEAR. AND WE ARE STILL NOT STRUGGLING ENOUGH IN ONLINE PEOPLE'S OPINION. FUCK OFF

(As a ukrainian) I lost all hope in humanity forever ago and I'm pretty sure I won't change someone's opinion, but I just want to tell the truth that i cry about every time.

I didn't see my home for 2 years. When I was there all I heard was explosions, bombs and warplanes. I saw ruined houses. I saw my half-destroyed school near which a projectile fell. I saw fire, smoke, a lot of it. I was in there. I heard all this. I heard. I saw. with my own eyes and ears. And what did you see and heard in the west, saying "This is all just Ukrainian propaganda"?

I was in the metro and saw hundreds of my fellow citizens, that a few months ago were casually going in this metro to their jobs, schools, universities etc. Some were sitting on the floor, some on old crusty carpets, with no fresh air, no normal ability just to go pee, not even talking about washing. But they were there just to be safe. Just to not die. They didn't care about hygiene, warm food and bath, delicious drink in their favorite café, all they did care about was just surviving.

Then I heard about Bucha massacre (read about this, if you think "russian soldiers are just poor people who don't want war and against Putin!!"). I heard hundreds women, children, men being raped, killed, tortured and firstly I was shocked. Then I heard about Irpin, Mariupol', Izium, Bahmut, now Avdiivka and many other ukrainian cities, that were completely destroyed by russians. But the difference is now I'm not shocked or surprised. Because now I understand this is Russian world, Russian culture, whole Russia in general.

But no one cares. No one cares about genocide, if the victim is big country in the center of Europe (even though every country has many people of color, and the biggest country in the world terrorizes it).

I saw a girl in the tiktok that was telling about the film "20 days in Mariupol". I looked in the comments and started crying. Why am I, my family, my friends, all ukrainians supposed to suffer while some westerns and russians are just laughing and saying "slava russia"?

Many people were talking about Gaza and I agree, there is total hell in Gaza and I feel very sorry for Palestinian people. I know how it is. But what gives YOU, a person that is sitting in the safe place with all basical human needs and think a war is just some trend, the right to compare the DEATHS of people that DIED from GENOCIDE and say that one GENOCIDE is less bad than another.

I'm not saying that we are suffering more than Palestinians, I'm saying that it's just so cruel to normalize deaths of people.. any people. That DON'T HURT anybody. That just want to live in a free country.

If I say, boycott Israel, all people from Israel are terrorists, people will agree with me. But when I say Russia is the terrorist, people will say "No, you're just xenophobic!"... And the genocide of my people is NOT xenophobic?? And the hundreds of years of destruction of Ukrainian culture is not xenophobic??

"What about Gaza?"

Gaza needs help. Ukraine needs help. Congo needs help. Syria needs help. No one should suffer. THAT'S my point.

Did you hear something about Holodomor in Ukraine? About MILLIONS of Ukrainians that died because soviet government were taking LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING BREAD CRUMB?? around 3.9 million ukrainians died. And this is only according to official data. These are only people whose identities have been established. It does not take into account people who were missing, or who were just horribly maimed.

If you still think I'm an ukrainian propagandist and not some fucking random teen like you who's just sharing my thoughts, read about Holodomor in Kazakhstan, first Russian-Chechen war, SECOND Russian-Chechen war, Russian-Georgian war, Russia’s invasion of Syria, Illegal occupation of Crimea and Donbas or just anything that involves Russia and war crimes.

If you're still saying this is all propaganda, Photoshop, I'm not surprised. Of course, everything around is propaganda. But not your beautiful truthful swamp.

Sometimes I just wish I was in yours shoes. Not caring about anything.

I don't care what russia supporting bots will say, I don't care people will not believe me, I just want to feel alive again.

An ambush by pro-Ukrainian Chechen fighters against Russian terrorists.

Reminder that the russkis attacked a children's hospital specializing in the toughest cases throughout Ukraine on the 8th.

Even if you can't donate here, your verbal support is still necessary.

"Okhmatdyt is the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, annually treating more than 20,000 children from all over the country. The missile completely destroyed the operating rooms, entire toxicology wing, and life-saving equipment. Other buildings were also damaged. The children have been evacuated to other hospitals."

More than 20 people were injured and at least two killed including a doctor.

Hey so I just learned today that president Putin has said that if he loses Ukraine he will quite literally wipe out humanity by going scorched earth on us. So where is God in this? If Jesus is supposed to return how can God allow Putin to do that? There would be no people left to be taken or left or anything. There will be no one alive to meet him in the air. How can God let this guy end humanity?

God will not let any act of man totally wipe out humanity.

[princesssarcastia]

too many people are out here making sweeping statements and generalizations. i realize sometimes those kind of things are necessary to have an efficient discussion, but when you start getting pissy about the picture of reality you've painted with said statements and generalizations? that's where you lose me. u can't get pissy about something being universal when it's NOT universal, when in fact the problem is that you're living in a little bubble where lots of people think the same, and you never step the six inches to the left it would take for you to meet people for whom your statements and generalizations are not fucking true.

[kat2107]

There are no words anymore.

We come here to cry over fictional men, but there are stories out there, stories that are so bigger, so much worse. Stories that need to be known, to be remembered.

But those stories are not over yet.

Ukraine is still here.

Ukraine is still fighting.

You can still help them.

Vyhovsky's defection to the Poles had resulted not in new concessions from the Muscovite side, as his opponents had hoped, but in the curtailment of the Hetmanate's previous rights. The tsar's officials wanted his subjects to realize that they would not tolerate breaches of the union with Muscovy under any circumstances. In January 1660, the Muscovite voevodas sent Khmelnytsky a message making that particular point. The corpse of Danylo Vyhovsky, a brother of the former hetman and a cousin of Yurii Khmelnytsky, who had fallen into Muscovite hands during a failed attack on the Muscovite garrison in Kyiv, was delivered to the young hetman's residence on his ancestral estate of Subotiv. Danylo's captors had tortured him to death. What the hetman saw in the coffin caused him to break down in tears. "His whole body was torn to pieces by whips, his eyes pluched out and the sockets filled with silver, his ears turned inside out with a drill and filled with silver", wrote a Polish diplomat who happened to be there at the time. "His fingers had been sliced. His legs had been butchered along the veins. In a word, it was unheard-of savagery".

If the tsar and his officials wanted to intimidate the young hetman and his entourage, they did not achieve their purpose. According to the same source, the arrival of the Cossack officer's massacred remains not only made the young Khmelnytsky weep but also aroused outrage in his court. Danylo Vyhovsky's young widow cursed her husband's killers. Revenge came later that year. In the fall of 1660, during a battle between a Muscovite army and Polish detachments backed by Crimean Tatars, the young Khmelnytsky and his troops switched sides and swore allegiance to the Polish king. The Muscovite army was defeated. Its commander spent twenty years in Crimean captivity.
