Ugh. This is a notoriously vain & self-obsessed Ukrainian politician who has been posting numerous photos with that gun while there are reports that territorial defense units in some regions are short of weapons.

This report, published in Ukrainian this morning, immediately became a must-read. We at @KyivIndependent translated it for you:

The same Kyiv cafe that famously named a pastry after Boris Johnson (seen left) now offers a Rishi Sunak (center) and Liz Truss (right). Sunak is the most expensive one of the three.

Unexpected and disappointing. Half of the clothes I own are Uniqlo. It felt like the brand has the right values. Now Uniqlo decides to stay in Russia, where its taxes pay for murder of children in Ukraine. Needless to say, will never buy again. @UNIQLO_JP @UniqloUSA @UNIQLO_UK

I’ve had this poster in my kitchen since forever. It’s a spoof WWII poster from one episode of “Doctor Who”. I love it. Never thought it would take such a literal meaning.

Hey @UNIQLO_JP @UniqloUSA @UNIQLO_UK do you think that Russian soldiers who kill Ukrainian children should opt for "extra fine merino crewneck sweater" or "premium lambswool v neck cardigan" this spring?

Getting to be on the cover of @TIME 6 months ago was very special. Getting to be there today to represent a part of the Spirit of Ukraine is the highest possible honor.

Russian troops and tanks entered my home town Sumy. All my family is in danger. 10 HOURS since #Russia unleashed an ALL-OUT WAR against my #Ukraine . No sign of promised IMMEDIATE sanctions still. THIS fucking world.

At least now we know that Russian hackers acknowledge that Crimea is Ukraine.

It’s a very important story that doesn’t get proper attention. Russia is using forced conscripts from the occupied territories of eastern Ukraine to fight against Ukraine.

According to local resident Anastasia, civilians from occupied parts of Donbas are forced to be at front-line positions. Otherwise, Russian forces threaten to shoot them.

As a Ukrainian, it feels like Biden has just allowed Putin to invade my country. If it's a "minor incursion," it will even go unpunished.

This is hurtful to watch. It's my neighbourhood, where I've lived for 10 years, and was at this crossing almost every day. Also it looks like they hit the military cemetery next to the TV tower. Not sure it's accidental.
