#russian invasion in ukraine

Kharkiv.

This night, russian kamikazes drones hit the gas station - as a result of this hit, burning fuel spilled, and private residential buildings caught fire. The area of the fire is 3,700 square meters.

The emergency services managed to contain the fire in the residential quarter, saving 25 houses and more than 50 residents from the spread of the fire. However, more than a dozen households burned to the ground.

In one of the private houses, the bodies of 5 people were found, including 3 children: 7, 4 years old and a 6-month-old baby.

Everyone's like punch fascists! Until fascists actually invade a country then it's suddenly but weapons bad 🥺

Modern Russian national identity remains firmly rooted in notions of a sacred imperial mission that perceives Russia as being a unique civilization locked in an eternal struggle against various constructed foreign enemies. Hundreds of years ago, the messianic vision of the czars gave rise to the idea of Russia as the Third Rome and leader of Orthodox Christianity. In the twentieth century, this belief in imperial exceptionalism was harnessed to identify Russians as the nation that would save the world from capitalism and lead a global communist revolution.

The sense of imperial mission pervading modern Russian society has helped nurture values of sacrifice and obligation at the expense of individual human rights. Many Russians take it for granted that they are destined to rule over other nations and interpret their colonialism as fundamentally benevolent, even when it is obviously unwelcome. Russia’s victims must be liberated, whether they like it or not.

I went to our dacha this morning for a few hours to harvest. The internet is bad there, not to mention the fact that when the electricity is turned off, there is no internet at all. When I was in the bus, I went into the air alert program and saw that the map of my entire country was red.

(an actual screenshot I took)

I thought "this is not the first time, nothing new". Military drones and other flying military vehicles often fly over my dacha. I did not see them today. I thought "okay, so the rockets have been repelled." I come home tired.

I go to the Internet and the first thing I see is that the most important children's hospital in our country is half destroyed. In the capital. In the city that has the best protection.

Russian missiles fly into Ukraine every day. And it is impossible to know in advance whether these rockets will kill someone and whether this "someone" will be you.

I just "love" how ruzzia claims that it's Ukraina that's nazi. But Ukraina doesn't attack residential buildings unlike some country.

[aapaww]

It's enough for russians to say "I am good and don't support the war!" and everyone will believe them without any evidence.

Even despite the fact that those "good russians" continue to be proud of their country and support it, dirty and nazi. Even despite the fact that during more than a year of the war they didn't make a single open statement, they frankly did NOTHING to the people who are suffering in this genocidal and bloody war, they keep staying silent all the time. They continue to humiliate Ukrainians for fighting real nazis for the freedom of their country, for their relatives who died in this terrible war, and continue to call Ukrainians nazis, mocking their mutilations and injuries that "good russian's" brothers inflicted on them.

But it doesn't matter, because everyone will believe them anyway. They are good russians.

I rarely write here about war, I have twitter for that and some other ways to remind people about what's going on. This blog is entertainment only.

Still, there are some stuff I can't just scroll and ignore. I don't have many followers, but I would be very thankful if you block and report russian-aesthetic (name and icon is on screenshots). It's pro-war z-brain fascist, who glorifies war and war aesthetic. Knowing their rhetoric and thinking, wtf are they doing on "rotten western" site is beyond my understanding. Or maybe it's just a troll. UPD: tumblr asked me to NOT ask my followers to report on the blog, apparently, it will be routed to the end of the queue and mess their work. Still not deleting this, I'm interested in how tumblr will handle the issue.

Yeah, очень па хрестянске, очень праваславна.

Last night, there have been more Russian missile strikes over 11 regions of Ukraine, residential buildings have been hit

10 people dead in Uman, two kids among them

2 dead in Dnipro — mother and child

Dozens more are injured

We do not know how many more bodies will be discovered from the rubble in the upcoming hours and how many of the injured will make it

And it just keeps going for over a year

The wrath and sorrow of our people will be carved deep into the bones of history, and we will not forget. Neither the Russian terrorists, neither those who kept silent, who enabled the aggressor, who turned a blind eye.

A house destroyed by a rashist's rocket in Vil'nians'k.

About 70 tons of remains of construction structures were dismantled.

Currently, 7 dead people have been recovered from the rubble. There may still be people under the rubble.

that feel when your friend's like "you should totally play The Last of Us, it's amazing" and you're like "i'm sorry my country is being bombed by ruscists at the moment, i get 3 hours of electricity per day, check your privilege" and you both go LOL

Did you notice that the segment of tankies who pretend to give a damn about "ukrainian working class" instruct us to "stop fighting the capitalistic war instigated by the usa" and "overthrow the real opressors - the ukrainian government"; but at the same time they never demand russians overthrow their fascist government???

In the morning, russian terrorists launched a missile strike on a residential building in Zaporizhzhia.

At the moment, 6 people have been injured. There may be people under the rubble.

Nothing illustrates this better than one of the leaders of Navalny's team being so happy about their documentary being nominated for an Oscar that, while circling with broad red lines, she partly covered up "A House Made of Splinters", a documentary about the war in Ukraine, which was also nominated:

Just like the ww2 media obsessed with looking for "good germans" to the point of dehumanizing their actual victims, this obsession with the search for "good russians" (many of whom are literal war criminals and/or fascists, or imperialists with open far-right views) is actively silencing the voices of russia's actual victims.

It's so wild to me to see under that Xiran Jay Zhao's post about the bombed ukrainian printing house comments like "I hope everyone is safe." And I get it, people are saying this out of kindness and pure consern, there's nothing wrong with it. It just shows how little coverage our war has abroad.

No, no one in Ukraine is safe. No one in that printing house was safe, in fact, 7 people died. No one in a huge hypermarket in Kharkiv on Saturday was safe, in fact, there were 18 killed and 48 injured. And all this happened in the span of only a few days.

No one is safe in territories occupied by russians because the whole family can get killed by refusing to give up their home to russian soldiers. And every time ukrainian army liberates some region, they find mass graves and torture chambers there.

No one is safe even far away from the front line and the border with russia, because missiles and drones fly all over Ukraine, and you never know when the next one will land on your house.

Hell, ukrainians aren't safe even abroad, because there's always a chance there will be some crazy russian or russian supporter who will decide to beat or kill us. And I'm not making this up.

I'm aware that I'm more safe than the people close to the front line and the border with russia or in occupied territories. I don't hear explosions every day, unlike my friend from Kharkiv. But that doesn't mean I'm completely safe. Missiles and drones fly by at least several times a week, especially at night, when I don't hear the sound of an air raid siren simply because I'm asleep. 

I am not safe.

My family is not safe.

My friends all over Ukraine are not safe.

We're not safe until russia is gone from our territories. That's why we need all that ammunition and aid. War won't magically stop if our allies stop sending us weapons; that's not how it works. We'll just be more unsafe, because russia won't stop unless it is forced to.

Here's ukrainian news sources you can follow that report daily:

This just reminds me of how shitty the situation with water in Crimea actually is.

So, some cool facts. Each summer hot water is getting turned off for around three weeks. For some "repair works". Another cool fact, that my mutuals may know. This year I didn't have hot water for over a month not for official turn off. According to official info, something was broken. (And it took them a whole month to fix). Is it reasonable to ask how they check shit?

And this is not the top of the circus. From September of 2020 to the May of 2021 we didn't have hot water at all. And the cold water often was turned off too. Eight fucking months without hot water at all. The fucking winter. (Yes, its pretty warm in Crimea, but we're still have temperatures around zero from time to time.)

And then we have river that is WHITE because of chemicals? And some people in Crimea say that they don't have water RIGHT now. It's extreme hot, mind me
