My sister is safe because, anticipating the shelling, she went to parents' house. And during the worst of it, she wasn't at home.
Lukyanivka, Kyiv💔 The district where my sister lives. Bloody Russians need to pay for their war crimes!
Fucking russians and their fucking ballistics
Again? Again. This time it’s closer to me, my windows are shaking
Thirteen ballistic missiles in twenty minutes so far, all towards Kyiv
russia is a terrorist state
Blame the government! Ordinary people are not at fault!
Ordinary people are working at factories and making bombs. Ordinary people are going to the occupied cities to settle there. Ordinary people taking the abducted children for "re-education". Ordinary people doing all the soft power work and whitewash state's crimes. Ordinary people launching missiles. Ordinary people go to newly occupied territories for vacations. Ordinary people do nothing and say nothing about state's crimes even when they have a chance. Ordinary people teach their kids to be the same.
And ordinary people loudly play victims while sending you death threats and calling you slurs. Ordinary people are telling the people their government bombing that they deserve to be bombed. Even if they were claiming they hate their government just a moment ago.
Army consists of ordinary people who decided to go to kill people in another country for some cash.
And some of them even think they should be praised and rewarded for leaving Omelas.
‼️Two people have been killed in a Russian missile attack in Odesa. Among those killed was a woman who was walking in a park with her children at the time of the attack. The children survived and are receiving necessary assistance.
At least seven other people, including children, were injured.
I don't know if this is the wrong conclusion for me to come to, but Russian Americans are, from my own personal experience (both online and in person) often genuinely awful when it comes to recognizing or discussing current and past Russian imperialism/colonialism. "Sasha Meets Russia" is a Russian American, "RevolutionaryTh0t" is a Russian American (while using the "I have a Ukrainian grandparent, so I know more than Ukrainians living in Ukraine" excuse so many other Russian Americans use). It's like they've taken the worst of the worst elements of American (I live in a deep red state, so I've seen some of the worst of American exceptionalism) and Russian societies, and based their entire personality and selective empathy around them. The worst of both worlds, as some might put it.
Nothing to add, really.
‼️Russians attack Zaporizhzhia: three people killed, 15 injured.
Private homes destroyed, buildings damaged by Russian guided bomb. Fires break out.

Every russian working on killing us is just a mini putin. Not living breathing people making conscious choices.
Putins telling me and San (prev) and other Ukrs being Ukr on main that we're nazis, that we should kill ourselves, that we're just being mean to russkis. Little putins hitting the trigger twice on missile spam, once for the first responders to get there and again to take those first responders out.
Hundreds of thousands of dead putins sitting on the border cause russia doesn't want them back for failing in their mission to destroy Ukraine and rape and torture every Ukr.
Hundreds, thousands of putins stealing Ukrainian children and indoctrinating them into 'russia is best. russia is king. Ukraine is nothing'.
Hundreds, thousands of putins looting Ukr artworks and artifacts and just plain old every day items and sending them back to the putins back in russia.
Thousands of mini putins bragging to their families about the terror and murder they are inflicting on innocent civilians.
Every Western country, you condemn their military and normal every day people. Why is russia different? Why do you get to use "we don't like our gov't either" for a country like russia where they have shown, in droves, how much they like being total orcs?
Обличчя керованої агресії
The Faces of Guided Aggression

Ukrainian cities that are under attack by russian guided aerial bombs. The list is far from complete.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine:
"A medal for taking part in Russia’s war against Ukraine and another from an international sporting event – in the hands of the same person.
Is this really acceptable?
While some international sports organisations are lifting restrictions on Russian athletes, Russia continues to wage its war of aggression – and to reward those who support and take part in its invasion of Ukraine. It is already integrating participants in the war into its Paralympic movement.
This is why the International Olympic Committee’s decision to lift its recommendations regarding the participation of Russian athletes is unacceptable and should concern everyone. So does the earlier decision by the International Paralympic Committee and some federations. International sport is built on fair play and respect. It must never become a platform for those linked to Russia’s aggression and terror.
The flag of a state that carries out daily attacks on civilians, commits atrocities and occupies foreign territory has no place at international sporting events. Its anthem should never be played at competitions created to celebrate the values of peace and friendship. This is hypocrisy at its worst.
Allowing this undermines the very values international sport stands for. International sport must not be a place for normalising aggression.
#NoStageForRussia
13th July 2014: Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel chat at the World Cup final.
russia had invaded Ukraine five months earlier.
Four days after this picture was taken russia shot down civilian flight MH17 over Donbas.
Merkel still refuses to express regret over her years of close ties to russia.
Letting Russia return to Olympics is to collude in slaughter of Ukrainians
Not to be outdone by squalid antics of Infantino, the IOC made my stomach lurch when I found out they had been readmitted for 2028 Los Angel
One is dragged reluctantly, almost with a sense of horror, to write about the men and women who see themselves as the guardians of sport but who are involved in some grotesque competition of their own. Who can be more unscrupulous? Who can more cravenly distort what sport is supposed to be about? Who can more graphically place venality, power and greed above whatever ideals still exist in these invented games?
It was seen as a watershed when Gianni Infantino took a call from Donald Trump objecting to the suspension of a star player (although admitting his ignorance of the meaning of a red card), only for Fifa to overturn the suspension. This wasn’t “merely” Fifa awarding competitions to nations on the basis of rigged votes but a decision that could affect what happens on the field of play....
...But, then, not to be outdone, up pops the IOC to lift its suspension on Russia, a nation that has not just systematically doped its athletes but also wages a pitiless and illegal war on a neighbour, bombing indiscriminately, raping women, mutilating prisoners and kidnapping children. The IOC president, Kirsty Coventry, a woman who curried favour with the Mugabe regime, revealing the absence of any moral compass, justified this on sporting grounds, in effect saying that it isn’t fair for Russian athletes to be disadvantaged by the actions of their government.
I felt my stomach lurch when reading this pretext for the readmission, the naked inversion of ethical logic, the smooth attempt to turn right into wrong. Russian athletes must not be disadvantaged by their government, she says, while Ukrainian athletes are bombed, targeted and subject to mass murder by the same government? Russian athletes can return to the grand stage — their victories milked by this century’s Hitler — while the sporting infrastructure of Ukraine is bombed to smithereens, its facilities destroyed, its talent wiped out?
Does Coventry have the faintest idea what is happening in the world she claims to speak for? Does she know about Yuri Orlov, a hockey player who earlier this year was killed after his home was struck by a Russian missile; Victoria Kotlyarova, a Ukrainian footballer who was killed in a devastating attack on Kyiv; Arina Shnabska, a brilliant young taekwondo fighter who was killed in Kherson when Russian occupiers opened fire?...
...Let us be clear: Russia will have an advantage on the field of play because they are wiping out the competition, even discounting that the head of their anti-doping commission is alleged to have been involved in covering up failed tests.

Westerners: war in Ukraine? Shouldn't it have ended? We want ruzzia back to participate in Olympics.
Ukraine today (11.07.26)
Rugs from Zhytomyr and Poltava region, Ukraine, 19th century.
Yesterday russians killed 30 people in Kyiv, and that number will continue to rise because some people are still trapped under the rubble. Across the rest of Ukraine, the death toll is even higher.
But news like this will never receive much attention, because foreigners seem to have tears and sympathy only for the russian soldiers who operate drones and launch missiles at civilian buildings.
Thinking about a med student who was killed yesterday by russian bomb in Kharkiv with her graduation robe and cap lying next to her. She was supposed to have a graduation ceremony today.
Not the first, and definitely not the last victim of the terrorist country named russia
Her friend, Nani Adaobi Merian, a Nigerian graduate, also died from her injuries in the hospital. Another life destroyed by russians that will never be talked about by anyone except Ukrainians, because the whole world has normalized the fact that russians can kill as many people as they want and and has become numb to it.
