#stand with ukraine

[kalevala568b]

I am with you!!! That said, there's no medals in dying. And we need more people like you who stand with Ukraine, so please keep living. And you are not alone. #StandWithUkraine 💔💙💛💔🌻🇺🇦💙💛

If I were Zelensky I would be dead because I would have punched that motherfucker and been shot by the secret service. So it's good I'm not in charge of securing aid to Ukraine.

Major General Pekka Toveri, Finnish MEP and former director of the Finnish Intelligence Division of the Defence Command speaking at the European Parliament:

"Some question the need for defence investments. Either they say that we should try diplomacy or that Russia is not a threat. Both things are wrong. We can't trust Russia. Diplomacy won't work.

"Those who say that Russia is not a threat normally come from countries that have not been attacked, occupied, raped, and pillaged dozen of times through history like Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and many others. Don't lecture us about peaceful Russia. We know better.

"I have three children in the Finnish army reserves ready to defend us all. I want them to be properly equipped to do that. We must and we can afford to do that. Saying that's not true is a lie."*

If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

Underrated post. 👆👆👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏 #Theres No Place For Murderous Regimes Dictatorship With Genocide Idealogy In The World If You Want Peace #StandWithUkraine #fuckrussia

The thing about living in Europe is that everyone is at least vaguely aware that if you don't support the military defense efforts of the countries with a border with Russia, then you are going to be in a country with a border with Russia.

International Writers' Day hits different when you're from Ukraine

Just a few stories of Ukrainian writers killed by russia in 2024/25. There are more of them. Keeping their memory alive is the least we can do

* Nedopysani is a memorial project to honor those Ukrainian people of literature who were killed by Russia. Our goal is not merely to make a list—we want to celebrate lives of the fallen ones, read their poems and novels, carry on their legacy.

We are the echoes of their voices

Not gonna lie, my morale is at the lowest point it's been since the beginning of the invasion. Russians are successfully occupying more and more territories and shell frontline regions every day. People are dying, our culture and herritage is destroyed. International aid dwindled significantly because of american bullshit. Mobilization law has been signed and there is a chance that my family members get conscripted soon. Don't even get me started on internal political problems. A bunch of articles in foreign media talking about our defeat and "peace talks" (what a joke).

It feels like there were no at least moderately good news in a while. On top of that, the feeling that we are screaming into the void is stronger than ever. I'm happy when I see a foreigner online supporting us and spreading the word, because it gets rarer. Ukrainians feel like none of what's happening gets outside our info bubble. Most likely no one but Ukrainians will see this post either. Honestly don't know what to make of all of this.

Had a conversation with a non-Ukrainian friend today that really stuck with me. They were talking about visiting and casually mentioned maybe finding a cheap flight. And I just... Freezed for a moment before saying, "The airspace is closed."

They genuinely asked, "Why?"

It caught me off guard. I forget sometimes how easy it is for people outside of Ukraine to not know what's going on here. But the reality is, we're still in constant danger. Air raid sirens, missile attacks, sleepless nights—it hasn’t stopped.

I don’t want to be aggressive about it, but I do want to remind people: Ukraine is still fighting, still struggling, still suffering. Please don’t forget about us.

do I even need to comment on this

[beautyallaroundus25]

I stand with Ukraine!🇺🇦

[kazhanko-art]

for the record, every dead Ukrainian, every act of genocide by Russia, every home destroyed, every inch of soil lost, will be a stain on the US, and I hope no one forgets how the US repeatedly failed to back up the Budapest memorandum, and whatever happens under Trump

[redcandieddust]

IT INFURIATES ME TO NO END people here in Poland would also tell me taht: oh the referendums you know maybe that means these were more Russian populated regions - even if they despise the war!!!!!! How!!!!!!

Imagine being a Ukrainian - you open the morning news and see:

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff claims that the "biggest problem" in Russia's war against Ukraine is the issue of Crimea and the "four regions" where the Russians held sham "referendums."

"I think the largest issue in that conflict are these so-called four regions - Donbas, Crimea, Luhansk, and there's two others."

He clearly doesn't even know what he's talking about, as he doesn't realize that Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts ARE the so-called Donbas region, which he lists as separate entities. He doesn't have to know that, or anything else, because all he's hired to do is parrot the russian false narratives.

He says that "the overwhelming majority of the people have indicated that they want to be under Russian rule" - conveniently ignoring the fact that the so-called referendums were literally held at gunpoint, and all the people against the russian invasion were either killed, tortured, or expelled, forced to leave their homes.

"Witkoff also believes that Russia is not seeking to absorb all of Ukraine, as the Russians have "returned" five regions and Crimea and got what they needed." - "returned" is the key word here. Like it was theirs to rightfully take. Following this logic, russians think that the entire Ukraine is a fake country that really belongs to the glorious russian empire. "But why would they want to absorb all of Ukraine?", right? And it's not naïveté, it's deliberate misinformation on the highest governmental level.

But putin is not a bad guy, because he "prayed" for his friend, the supreme US leader and possibly the embodiment of god himself - donald trump. What more proof do you need that russians are the good guys? Right?

You close this news and see the next one - an entire family was killed in a russian airstrike in Zaporizhia - a daughter, mother, and father. In one of the regions that russia wants to call theirs, by the way. In the "mostly russian-speaking" city where russia supposedly protects the so-called "russian-speaking population," which was in no danger until russia came here to kill us all.

Imagine being a Ukrainian. You probably don't want to imagine that.

If you are from the US - trump's people speak for all of you. I don't care how unjustified and cruel it sounds, that's how it's perceived by the rest of the world. They lie, threaten, extort, and back up war criminals on behalf of your nation. It doesn't matter how low Tesla stocks drop - they keep getting away with it. Maybe these leopards aren't eating your face right this second, but they will start munching pretty soon.

This world is an unfunny joke.
