You see a video how Russian military kicking a civilian in Kherson. And you understand that even when the law does not work, you still need to look for other ways to protect people who are left alone with the occupiers #RussianWarCrimes

I was constanly asked whether Ukraine is ready for a long fight. Ukrainians have no choice. Look to Yaryna on this photo. She grew up in freedom, it essential for her and for millions of Ukrainians. But we can win fast if we receive enough #MLRSforUkraineNow and heavy weapons

My brave colleague Natalia Panchenko and other activists have been blocking trucks from Russia on the border with Poland for several days now. They demand from EU to stop trading with the Kremlin. Now is not the time to feel helpless, everybody can do something and help Ukraine

Seraphim Sabaransky died defending his native Kharkiv from Russians. He was a member of the Kharkiv Jewish student organization "Gilel". His friends told, he was brave and had a big heart. He died in Purim, which is symbolic. #StandWithUkraine

Today I noticed that a first gray strand appeared in my hair. Anyway, Putin, I will come to your indictment hearing in the Hague in the beautiful dress, with red lipstick on my lips and with a good hairdo.

The President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, calls for the admission of Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympics. He says that sport should be "politically neutral". I want to appeal to Thomas Bach that sport should not normalise murder and rape either

If you tell us that Ukraine is fighting for the future of Europe, why do you still not provide Ukraine with battle tanks and other modern weaponry?

It’s a really a case when one graffiti from St. Petersburg (Russia) is worth a thousand words. One of the best examples of oppositional street art. #RussianWarCrimes

This is Kira, she is 12 years old. She lives in Mariupol. Russians killed her father, Yevhen Obedinsky, a multiple Ukrainian water polo champion. Now she is a complete orphan. The Russian military took the girl away to occupied Donetsk. #RussianWarCrimes

Germany and Italy have allowed their companies to open accounts in rubles to buy Russian gas - Reuters. In turn, Poland, Bulgaria and Finland refused to comply with Moscow's demand, and gas supplies to these countries were suspended. Thank you! Human life and freedom is worth it
