Info-post

Okay, guys, i made this post because i'm honestly tired of the lack of information about Ukraine. The war isn't over and genocide of Ukrainians became normalized. Plus there are a lot of people who truly believe there's no more war because they rarely see any news! So here are a few sources you can share. Donations are optional LIVE MAPS: -Air Raid Alert Map (interactive map where you can see where air raid sirens are on, which cities are under attack, explosions etc) -DeepState map (also an interactive map with areas that were liberated or are currently occupied by russians; is updated every day) NEWS SOURCES: -GRUNT MEDIA (tweet in Ukrainian, but if you use twitter, you can always click a translation button) -United 24 Media (tweet in English!). Their official website is -> HERE -Bring Kids UA. They help locate and bring home children who were kidnapped by russians. Their official website -> HERE; their twitter -> HERE; useful links (including a petition) are HERE -Save Ukraine.

I haven't been updating much lately, trying to focus on getting my life together, but I have to share this for my piece of mind.

Tonight (24.05.2026) russia attacked my city (Kyiv, Ukraine) with drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. It's not anything unusual, and lately we've been getting better at deflecting these attacks, but not tonight. Due to the lack of defense weaponry, my city suffered a lot of damage. The worst damaged area – my neighborhood, Lukyanivka.

My neighborhood is famous for several things, among them is the first McDonald's in my country, an old farmers' market and a fine mall right by the subway station. Almost all of these things got destroyed tonight by ballistic missiles:

The mall:

The market:

The station suffered minor damages, but the smoke and dust from the explosions got underground to the people using the station as a shelter. They had to be evacuated to the nearest station to prevent suffocation or poisoning. I've experienced this before, you really feel like the whole 80 meters of earth above your head are going to cave in at any moment.

By the sheer force of luck me and my family happened to be outside of the city. We heard the missiles passing by and exploding in Kyiv. The explosions were so loud, we heard them clearly even being 50+ kms away from the city!

If we were home during the attack, we would have gone to the neighboring underground parking lot. One of missiles fell right outside of our neighboring building, the one with the parking lot. It shattered glass in several buildings around it, the explosion wave hitting my building as well. Some of my neighbors lost their windows as well from the explosion wave.

I am devastated to say the least. It doesn't feel real to see your home gone. Everything I grew up with, places I frequented with the people no longer with us, they're gone. I know we'll rebuild, but I can't shake off the guilt for not being here for my home.

This is the video I took while looking around the market.

[mrsheo]

Explosions. My home is shaking. I'm shaking. It's undescribable feeling of anger, panic and fear.

One more reminder that russia is a terrorist state. They're using every type of missiles to erase Ukrainians from existence right now. It's a total hell this night...

[billornot]

"Overnight, russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM. Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack. Multiple shopping centers, apartment blocks and residential areas destroyed. Also, a reported use of Oreshnik on Bila Tserkva near Kyiv, The casualty count is just beginning to trickle in."

"National museum of Chornobyl in the historical building has been destroyed during the one of the biggest russian attack on the Kyiv."

These russian scumbags are always spreading terror and death everywhere. They just launch hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles to kill innocent people and destroy cultural monuments because they are incapable of anything else. It's just that people somewhere out there often forget who russians are, so look at these shots and always keep them in mind.

Its been awhile since you last posted, I was just really hoping you were alive

I'm so sorry for not posting but I am alive indeed haha! And thank you for asking. I really don't have anyone to entrust my tumblr blog to in case of anything, but I only remember about it during air raids. Though this time I was just busy with my graduation exams and writing my diploma. At least now I can share how different workplaces adapt to the war in Ukraine!

“How many today?”

I fucking hate hate hate that this is one of the first questions we ask each other in the morning within the family, instead of

What are your plans for today?

What did you dream about?

What’s the weather like today?

I always think of a poem by a Ukrainian author about this, but you killed her too.

It feels surreal that I was thinking about you yesterday, Victoria Amelina, even before the ballistic explosions at night – how you searched for the diary of Volodymyr Vakulenko, buried and hidden in his father’s garden – a writer who was killed and tortured by Russians during the occupation.

And I think of you again today – after, in the morning.

[that-is-who-you-are]

Could not agree more

STOP SUPPORTING rUSSIAN CULTURE, there's nothing exciting about it, they killed and tortured millions of people throughout their history, to present themselves as that "great" nation, of course the'll seem like that,when there's no one else left.

CULTURE IS POLITICS

[thyinum]

Dostoevsky about ukrainians (and other non-russian nations):

"Intolerance in the dispute is even more evident in Dostoevsky, when the speech somehow inadvertently touched upon nationalities: he finds that a Serb, a Malorussian, etc., who sympathizes with his native language, native literature, is positively malicious member of society, and hinders the work of universal enlightenment, universal Great Russian literature, in which all salvation, all hope. He hinders the course of civilization, created by one Great Russian people, who managed to create the greatest of states. One Great-Russian generously and honestly looks at all nationalities, without any malice and premeditation, whereas the Malorussian, for example, always keeps a stone behind his back and cannot treat the Great-Russian other than with enmity".

From "Memories and studies on the works of F. M. Dostoevsky" Book One

So if you think that russian culture and literature has nothing to do with oppression ukrainians and other nations, close to Russia, have been facing all this time, think again.

Ukrainians I need you to know that out of context to a foreigner that this is actually genuinely terrifying

[ostebee]

I've missed this fest in my city but actually it's about Center of Rehabilitation for Bats, you can find them on Instagram and twitter. It's a tradition since a lot of people are finding bats in their balconies and attics during cold seasons. Specialists from the Center are catching those bats, helping them to hibernate through, feeding them and then on spring they are inviting people to releasing ceremony. I wanted to write a post about Center for some time and haven't reasons but here it is.

They also have cool merch. All profits are used for buying food and medication for bats and paying rent.

[ostebee]

This ceremonies are called to raise awareness of bats and tell people that they're not scary. Also volunteers are teaching people how to behave if you happen to find bats in your household. Bats are also part of our ecosystem and almost every known species in Ukraine is endangered.

Google is updating Google maps satellite images, and many Ukrainians had seen their cities, villages and towns, that were destroyed by ruzzians, in ruins. Found their homes, their schools, their friends houses. And it is heartbreaking to see, those grey-ish photos of just bare bones of something you cannot even recognise as a building and the note "my home 💔"

My town is yet to be updated, and I fear when it will be, because even if I saw how much destruction there is, with 95% buildings damaged, I'm still afraid to see my town from above that way. Because there will be my house. There will not be a neighbour's home that I was playing at when I was a child. There won't be a store we liked to visit, nor there will be my school, and the cemetery where my grandma and grandpa are buried will be a mess. In my dreams my town is as it was - whole, inhabited, blooming and green. In reality it's a nightmare. I cannot imagine what it will be like to walk those streets again, see every place I had been to ruined. The store I bought sweets? Gone. The little café that held so much memory? Burned down. But most importantly - people. Too many people are gone. Scattered to the world, or worse - dead, because ruzzians killed them. I don't think anyone who has not lived through this can even begin to understand. Seeing a place that had been your home turned into a pile of debris hurts so much it is sometimes hard to breathe. Sometimes I forget I am not home, that I can't go to the market and pick fresh produce, or look out of the window and see yellow with wheat and sunflower fields on the horizon, and the stars, there were so many stars at the night summer sky. It feels like no place will become my home, my new home, because mine had been ripped away. I did not leave it because it was boring, or too small, or the dry warm weather made me sick, but because ruzzians decided they did not like how we lived our lives. And I want them to suffer for what they did.

I was supposed to have a relaxing day off, but r*ssians had other plans. This morning was horrible. I haven't been so scared for my life in a long time, though such attacks are by no means a rarity.

It's my town. I can see this house from one of my windows. There's a café there that I occasionally visit.

One person died there. Some are injured.

There's much more damage than that inflicted on my home region. Apparently, a drone hit a vet clinic, killing multiple animals.

I'm pretty sure I repeated this about a thousand times, but I so wish every single r*ssian to have it a million times worse. I wish them to tremble in fear every single day. I wish them to watch everything they love burn. They're all responsible, and fuck anyone who would try to convince me otherwise.

As a german person, I want you to bombard me with random facts about anything related to culture in Ukraine I beg you

[lisaasila-stuff]

There's a holiday called Ivana Kupala. I don't quite remember the date, but it's in June or July, I think? But, I'm pretty certain you are going to be somewhat familiar with that one — I believe there's something similar in German culture? (And tbh it's not just Ukrainians but overall Eastern Slavic thing)

It's a holiday during the longest day-the shortest night, and the night of Ivana Kupala is believed to be magical. People will gather, play games; sing songs and dance; do magical rituals.

About games I can't really tell much about, because each state has different traditions, and I didn't celebrate it, unfortunately, so I can't really tell everything about how my state celebrates it. However, there is common ground in Kupala;

• A big ass campfire. Around this campfire the whole party is going on: people dance roundelay, sing songs. And jump over it. Yeah, so basically it's believed that if a couple, holding hands, jumps together over the Kupalo's burning campfire and/or won't break the hand-holding then they'll be very happy together. If they break the hand-holding then they'll break up soon. Though, you can jump over the campfire with your friend or by yourself!! Very cool I want to do that one day

• Singing and dancing!! There's SO MANY Kupala related folksongs. And seeing the roundelay of Everyone who's at the celebration is just giving me goosebumps.

• Wreaths. People make them during Kupala (not at the Night, but in the morning since Magic™). During the celebration, people wear it. Couples might give their to each other, but for single folks it's a whole other story. Which I'm going to explain in the next one:

• River. I dunno about places where there isn't a river nearby, but I know when there is. At the end of the celebration, single girls will come over to the river. They light a candle (that they needed to prepare beforehand) and place it with the wreath to swim down water's current. Single boys down the current will try to catch wreaths of their beloved — and if the one succeeds then it was believed that the couple will marry soon afterwards (tbh nowadays I don't think it's that prominent XD). Though, if your/your girl's wreath drowned, then you gotta try your luck next year.

• Magical rituals. I think I mostly heard about romantic related ones, so I'll tell you about a couple of them. First one is that you need to place two mirrors facing each other, and place the candle in the middle. You need to do it in the dark and quiet. Then carefully look into it and you'll see your true love. In another one, you need to place a hairbrush under your pillow and out loud ask your betrothed to brush your hair, afterwards go to sleep. The one who comes in your dream is your betrothed.

• Some superstitions that I can think of right now. Do not swim in a river during Kupala's night — mermaids will drown you. Only during Kupala's night fern will bloom — and if you find fern's flower, then you can make a wish. Also all witchcraftery stuff is just easier to do/more accurate in Kupala's night than in any other time.

That's kinda all I can think of right now. Folks, feel free to add or correct me if I missed/mixed up something XD

[softie-draws]

My favourite random fact about Ukraine is that we have the biggest number of recorded folk songs in the world, with over 200,000 recorded compositions. Some sources say there are up to 500,000!

At least 15,500 Ukrainian musical works have been included in the UNESCO fund, making them the most numerous.

(That's why I always joke that I was doomed to sing from the start, being part Ukrainian and part Georgian)
