Read this story till the end. During WWII some children were making diaries from concentration camps & occupied cities by nazis. History is repeating. This is a diary of Katya, a 16 years old girl from Mariupol, whose mother died in the basement👇😢
Oleksandr Shapovalov, the famous Ukrainian ballet dancer and choreographer, died today at the battlefield. He volunteered into Armed Forces of Ukraine after February 24 invasion & became a soldier. RIP, Ukrainian hero

Russian occupiers expected Ukrainians to welcome them with bread and salt
In fact, Ukrainian granny welcomed them with homemade cakes. Poisoned. She killed 8 occupiers

Alexandra Trofimovna, 86, was a little girl in Kharkiv when Germans bombed her house during WWII, killing her mother and sister. She also lost two fingers on her right hand. This morning, her house was bombed once again, this time by the russian army.

1. USA must designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. 2. Germany must provide immediately Leopard 2 tanks. 3. Allies must unblock provision of 4th generation fighter jets to Ukraine. 4. ATACMS for Ukraine now. 5. Modern air defense to protect critical infrastructure
Russians gunned down the humanitarian convoy of women and children during an evacuation from Peremoha village, Kyiv region, along pre-approved “green” corridor. Seven killed, including one child. Total casualties unknown
Ok, so I’m reading how US, UK, some EU states telling their citizens to leave Ukraine NOW. As I am a Ukrainian staying in Kyiv I’m calling to the US, UK & EU member states to block assets of Putin oligarchs NOW and ban NOW entry to the West for their family members.
Oleksandr Kukurba, one of best UA fighter jet pilots, hero, died on July 26 protecting Ukrainian sky. He was one of those expecting for modern fighter jets & missiles when we arranged travel of our pilots to Washington. Raised by a single mother he was the source of hope for her
On Feb 23 Sasha celebrated her bday. Few days later the girl was wounded by russians when her family tried to evacuate from Irpin. Two days she spent in the shelter bleeding. When volunteers managed to bring Sasha to the hospital doctors had no choice but to amputate her hand.
So, the hell is starting. EU and NATO members states MUST ACT NOW: immediate assets freeze of Kremlin oligarchs and family members, entry bans for them; cut SWIFT for Russia
Russia is using Belarusian conscripts to wash armored vehicles of the Russian army. These young soldiers CLEAN REMAINS of the russian soldiers off the tanks. Belarusian local news outlet Nasha Niva reported on a specific case of one soldier sharing the story with his parents.
That is unbelievably powerful! Ukrainian soldiers took away Russian bill board in liberated city with slogan “We are one people with Russia” and were amazed by the revealed message from Taras Shevchenko, the most famous Ukrainian poet:
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine would like to remind everyone that the presence of occupying troops on the territory of Ukrainian Crimea is not compatible with the high tourist season.
I want to die, but I can't.
… hug your kids! Otherwise, you may be gone, and they will not remember your smell. If I endure and later have children, I will be hugging them all the time "...

“You know that feeling when it hurts? I once fell in love with a boy, but he didn’t fall in love with me, and I thought it hurt. But it turned out that it hurts to see your mother die in front of you”, says 16 y.o. girl from Mariupol, a hell on earth

I hate russia. My own uncle is there. Do you know what he told me on phone today? "Katya? What Katya? Girl, I don't know you. What war, what Katya? And then he wrote from the a burner phone,“Katya, do not write to me. It is dangerous for me and my family. Your mom is gone.”

… corpses stink so much. They were everywhere. I covered my brother's eyes with my mother's scarf so that he would not see this. While we were running, I nearly vomited several times.
I no longer believe in your God. Had he existed, we wouldn't have suffered so much.

I hate them! She was his sister!? How is that possible?
… you know, I think that I will return to Mariupol. And I will live in the same place. And every time, on the same day, I will go down to the basement of a new house to lay flowers.

My mom never, you hear, never did anything wrong. She went to church. Uncle Kolya quit smoking so that mom wouldn`t be nervous that it`s a sin. And your God took her away. The priest said my mom now serving God, but it`d be better if she were to serve him here, raising us.6/11
It's also scary when children cry. You can't be heard. These freaks searched for people in basements and killed them. Those who survived said that the russian military were able to rape children and the elderly, and even corpses.
If there is a God, why does He allow this?
9/11
We were begging for modern air defense systems & fighter jets since first days of war. On the 7th month of war Russia can easily terrorize with massive missiles downtown of UA capital because of reluctance in providing us with modern military capabilities
I don't want to live anymore. We'll probably be separated now. And I might not see my brother. What for? Why was this putin saving us? We lived well, we even bought a car. Uncle Kolya promised to teach me how to drive. They even burned the car. And the apartment is gone.

My brother keeps coming up to mom, saying, “Mommy, don’t sleep, you will freeze”.
We will never visit her grave. She has remained in the damp and dark basement.
We went to the toilet, slept, ate leftovers in the same basement

Dear friends demand No-Fly Zone over Ukraine. This practice was used earlier in Libya in 2011 when NATO suspended all flights over the country’s territory. This crucial military action should be introduced to protect Ukraine from Russian jets, drones, and missiles.
…Our neighbor died, and we could not carry her outside, and she began to smell.
When it got quiet uncle Kolya carried her out, and himself got killed on a trip wire.
Mom cried a lot. After dad died uncle Kolya was the closest person.
4/11
Once uncle Kolya caught a pigeon, and we fried it and ate it. And then we all vomited.
Mom held on to the last, 3 days before our evacuation, she died.
I told my brother that she was asleep and should not be awakened. But he seems to have understood it all.

While you are talking we are dying - thousands of Ukrainians in Warsaw lied down today to commemorate victims of war and to call
@POTUS
to deliver air defence weapon to Ukraine now. Every minute of delay kills.
Ukrainian women soldiers just finished a very intense 1-week visit to Washington DC. It was an honor for me &

Russian cruise missile was intercepted just bef it reached the main Children's Hospital in Kyiv. The explosion shattered windows and doors, hindering access for patients requiring urgent care.
@NATO
What if the missile hit the hospital? Would you act then?

How to help us?
Don’t condemn Russia.
Don’t express deep concerns.
Confiscate Kremlin’s $300bln kept across Western countries, and let Ukraine spend it on weapons.
Don’t express fear. Allow Ukraine to strike military targets inside Russia.
Speed up with F-16 delivery.
Ukrainian Armed Forces are liberating city by city in Eastern Ukraine. Without modern tanks, without modern fighter jets. Losses are high, but our soldiers are attacking.
@Bundeskanzler
@POTUS
unblock NATO tanks and fighter jets for AFU. Save the lives of heros, who defend NATO!

Stop talking about Ukrainian insurgency, resistance, 10 years of upcoming cold war or other bullshit. Ukraine will win this war with Russia. We will do this now. The West must send air defence systems to reduce the amount of blood Ukrainians will pay for this victory.
This beautiful family lost the father & the husband yesterday. Yesterday on March 30 Bohdan Stefanyshyn was trying to rescue people near sieged Chernihiv & he was killed by russians. Bohdan's wife is MP

NATO members, EU, Switzerland and other Western countries promised severe sanctions on Russia in case of full scale war. Some steps were already taken, but there is lots of more what could be done to isolate Russia financially and target Putin wallets on the West👇

My sons - Danylo and Stefan - are sleeping in the corridor during night air raids in Kyiv. I will tell them to be “strategically patient” when arrive home tomorrow after Vilnius NATO Summit.
Brazenly and on camera, the

Just imagine if any other country occupied a part of Russia and took out children from there. What would be the reaction of Russia?

NATO doesn't want to hit russian missiles, which are destroying Ukrainian hospitals. NATO is afraid to irritate Putin. Ok, we have alternative - how about

@POTUS
coming to Ukraine now & protect our sky at least for a few days so that children could be evacuated?
I am getting a lot of questions & concerns recently on UA corruption as a risk & threat to providing NATO heavy weapons to UA & significant support for reconstruction of the country after the victory. Here is what i need to say after devoting my last 10 years to anticor in UA👇
Brussels yesterday right near the European Commission. 902 people died officially in Ukraine because of russian aggression according to UN as of middle of March. Thousands of dead are uncounted. What this number would mean if dead people were lying in the middle of Brussels?
In Kherson, russians robbed the apartment of deceased Ukrainian activist Kateryna Handziuk. 12 armed occupiers stormed the apartment telling it “threatens russian statehood”. After hours of searches they took few bags with stuff. Now russians are fighting with dead UA activists
7.50 am, Kyiv. Air raid since 5 am. Ballistic missiles are attacking the city. Explosives are heard since early morning. Yet this tiny coffee shop already is open and working. Because good morning coffee in Kyiv is an existential need

@EmmanuelMacron
is seeking in Moscow and Kyiv solutions to the European security crisis triggered by Putin. I suggest Mr.Macron to try to find a solution also in France. I will help - this thread will be about french assets of Russian oligarchs. How about freezing them? 👇
I am so proud of our Commander in Chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyiy. He has years of combatant experience in real war at the most dangerous places. When the US hear from him what Ukraine needs to win the war they have to listen.
On May 9
@ratushnyi_r
was congratulating everyone with
@POTUS
signing the lend-lease bill.
On June 9 Roman died on the battlefield in the Kharkiv region. He was 24 years old. A famous civil activist from Kyiv. RIP hero.
Books to read now to understand deep roots of Russian war against Ukraine. Spoiler: Russia even has stolen its name from Ukraine. What is now Russia used to be Moscovia, and what is now Ukraine used to be Kyiv Rus. Moscovia is now bombing Kyiv, the mother of Rus cities.👇
"The famine will start now and they will lift the sanctions and be friends with us, because they will realize that it's impossible not to be friends with us," - said Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan during the Petersburg Economic Forum.

14 days as my morning starts not from coffee and Shakespeare poetry, not from amazing The Beatles but from dead bodies of our children around the streets.
Unfortunately, I can't join your program, as all my time and efforts are dedicated to protecting my people and my family. For example, a few days ago Russian officers killed my younger brother (a civilian, he just crossed the street to buy food).
Happy birthday to my dear Kyiv with your 1540th birthday! Here's Andriy Yermolenko's illustration "Kyiv Founders Monument reworking" (the founders of Kyiv are princes Kyi, Shchek, Khoriv, and their sister Lybid according to medieval chronicles)
For everyone who still spreads "doubts" whether it was an explosion in Kakhovka. Norwegian seismic monitoring group Norsar confirmed an explosion at the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine.
Conversations of russian invaders intercepted by the Security Service of Ukraine
they kill and rape civilians
afterwards, they call their mothers and wives to tell what they did
Does anyone still think it is only putin to blame? /1
My son started a new school year. Not in Ukraine, because of russia. He misses his friends, family & life in Kyiv. Since 5 years old Danylo wants to be an inventor. This year his dream is more specific. He wants to invent a weapons production plant operating underground.

This is not just my message, this is request from all Ukrainians to 🇬🇧: immediate assets freeze and entry bans for all Kremlin oligarchs and their families. The massive war started by Putin tonight happened because the West blindly took bloody money for decades
A soldier reads it “And glory to you, dark-blue mountains,
Frost and snow protect you;
And to you, great-hearted heroes,
God does not forget you.
Struggle on—and be triumphant!
God Himself will aid you;
At your side fight truth and glory,
Right and holy freedom.”
US, EU, UK - all promised sanctions on Russia, but now it is Ukraine, which is suffering hard economically and is getting into isolation. Western companies are stoping air connection to Ukraine. Why at the same time economic activity is ongoing with Russia?
That is absolutely impossible in Ukraine. All members of parliament must declare all their bank accounts, hard cash, movable and immovable property, sources of income, beneficial ownership in companies. Yet, they say, Ukraine is the most corrupt in the world.
EXCLUSIVE: Speaker Mike Johnson has never listed a bank account on his financial disclosure. In fact, on his newest disclosure, he doesn’t list a single asset at all.
