Two years ago I was in Ukraine with my family. We will never gather at the same table as before. I have no opportunity to come home, my grandmother died, several acquaintances are missing, my cat also died without veterinary care. The city is empty, my younger sister goes to school under occupation, where she is forced to draw thank you cards for russian soldiers and the teachers mock her for her Ukrainian accent. She constantly cries and asks me to pick her up, but I don’t know what to say. My mother had a stroke, but she was not admitted to the hospital during the occupation because she did not have a Russian passport, and they did not manage to help her in time. Parts of her brain are permanently disabled, and she barely recognizes me or moves. I'm glad she's alive, but I no longer have support in my mother, this happened too soon.
Abroad, I was once attacked by russian emigrants in Lithuania. They saw my passport when I was buying tickets, and then they followed me and started pushing me and calling me a Nazi. A taxi driver helped me and took me away from there. The last time I was in Ukraine, a rocket fell near the house where I was visiting. Neither I nor anyone in the house was surprised or frightened, it was just the deep despair of millions of people from hopelessness.
I don’t remember well half a year during the occupation, but I remember how we made a fire to cook food, that there was no water, buses with loudspeakers drove through the streets, calling for surrender. How they came and took our medicines from our houses. How we went to rallies and had grenades thrown at us. I saw two huge piles rising above the ground - with the remains of cars and, apparently, with the remains of bodies and everything else. This picture is very unclear, I almost threw up, and after a couple of minutes a russian military man came up to me and asked if I loved russia. I answered "yes". What else could I say?
Now I am undergoing treatment from a psychiatrist and am trying to work to donate to those in need. Every day there are only more and more and more of them... those who have lost their home, limbs or loved ones. It pains me to see requests for help with funerals.
I feel nothing today except emptiness
A Georgian man was killed by Russian occupiers on our own territory because he crossed an occupation line and literally no one will be held accountable because as always Russia gets its way silently killing Georgians for decades
russia(ns) must burn.
Another post regarding why I hate Russia and Russians. Only the tip of the iceberg.
Merry Christmas!

В березні МОН планують приєднати Українську академію друкарства (заклад, в якому я навчаюся) до Львівської політехніки. Окрім того, що це рішення є абсолютно свавільним та недемократичним, воно може призвести до підвищень цін на навчання, звільнень, втрати бюджетних місць та місць у гуртожитку. Під загрозою зникнення специфічні спеціальності (як-от моя), на яких навчають унікальним технікам друку типу літографії (якій навчають тільки в УАД), ми ризикуємо втратити наші корпуси та майстерні. Фахівці, які отримали тут освіту, неймовірно важливі для книгодрукування в Україні, тому дії МОН наражають на небезпеку український книжковий ринок.
Прошу про максимальний розголос про ситуацію. Я розумію, що не маю великі шанси на те, що цей пост отримає його, але якщо ви його бачите, це вже щось означає. Українське студентство буде боротися.
My entry for the #/Tisha_dtiys (on Instagram)! It was funny to draw PGM6, I really like the result.😁 In search of references for this character, I came across the one which I thought it'd be interesting to draw it, so here you are! Thanks, @/tishaimara, for this dtiys!
Участь у #/Tisha_dtiys (в інстаґрамі)! Малювати PGM6 було весело, результат мені дійсно до вподоби.😁
У пошуках референсів для цього персонажа, мені трапився такий, що, як мені здалося, було би цікаво намалювати, тож ось.) Дякую, @/tishaimara, за цей dtiys!
The millions of civilians in need of humanitarian aid in Syria are bracing themselves for dwindling international help this year, after the World Food Programme (WFP) has ended its mandate for the country as of 2024. The Syrian government last week extended its approval for cross-border United Nations humanitarian aid to be delivered through a crossing with Turkey for another six months. The mechanism is an attempt by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad government to enhance his legitimacy in the eyes of the international community since Russia, a main backer of Assad, blocked UN Security Council resolution to use the Bab al-Hawa crossing in July, forcing international partners to work with Damascus.

OC Viktor and Arsydia.
i'm tired of Eastern European countries being sacrificied by the West in order to appease Russia. this is exactly what happened after WW2, this is what might as well happen now
This morning, 53-year-old Oleksandr Potikun from Vovchansk took three dogs, documents, canned food, and photo albums and left the city to evacuate.
The man walked for 15 kilometers until he was picked up by the police. Oleksandr says that he decided to leave the city when a Russian tank damaged his house and a neighboring one. Before, he didn't want to leave because of Toshka, Jozyk, and Archie - he was afraid that the dogs would disappear if he left them behind. He also evacuated family photos: "Our houses are burning very badly, at least we will have something to remember."
Potikun says that Vovchansk is broken, Russians are bombarding the city with air and artillery around the clock.
Defense forces have stopped the enemy's attempts to break through the defense in the east, while fighting continues in Lukianets and Vovchansk
"The situation on the eastern front remains tense in the Khortytsia Joint Forces Operation Center in our area of responsibility, but the defense units are actively engaged in defensive battles. Attempts by Russian invaders to break through our defense have been stopped. The situation has been stabilized, in particular in the Kharkiv sector," said Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia group.
According to Voloshyn, the operational situation remains difficult, but it is changing dynamically. Fierce defensive battles continue: "There are settlements in a large part of our border area where the enemy is trying to gain a foothold and use them for further advancement." In the video, Oleksiy Kharkovsky, head of the Vovchansk patrol police, said that the situation in Vovchansk is extremely difficult, the enemy is taking positions on the streets of the city, where the evacuation of the population is also underway.
