Tankies whenever Russia openly commits a war crime: "Um, akshually, it was Ukraine because daddy Putin told us so.Also it didn't happen.Also they deserved it anyway. Also it's not that bad or a war crime but you should definitely care about this exact thing happening in another country instead which is terrible and a war crime.No you can't care about both."
Anyway, I present to you @troythecatfish:
‼️DON'T SKIP‼️
I don't know how to design a posts like this but this is very important
The National Children's Specialized Hospital "Ohmatdyt" is the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, where more than 20,000 children from all over the country are treated every year.
Today, around 11 a.m. russians attacked it with a rocket. At this moment there's already 10 died and 30 have serious injuries. But there's much more under the rubble. Another Russian terroristic act
Please, donate to the official Ohmatdyt Fund

If you don't have money, please, reblog it, spread it, don't close your eyes on Ukraine
It's so terrifying and empty feeling like the whole world doesn't care about you. Feeling like your people do not care about you. Like your friends don't care.
When you see all of the horrible terrors some people went through - and feel sympathy, but you get a feeling that when your story is seen by someone - they groan in annoyance. They are annoyed by MY pain.
I'm pleading, please open your eyes. PLEASE notice my reposts, don't close your eyes. Don't turn away. Because i can't. Why do you have the privilege to do that?

‘Moonlit Night’ is an adaptation of a classic Ukrainian song that has an uplifting, pastoral quality to it which serves as a perfect showcase for Almond’s affecting vocal delivery. “I came across this beautiful folk song from the 19th Century called What A Moonlit Night or Moonlit Night” he recently commented on the adaptation’s origins, “It’s a song that Ukrainians know from childhood and already it is posted online as a song dedicated to brave Ukrainians. There are many lovely versions but the version that struck me as really wonderful and moving was by the Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra arranged by Diana Novak and composed by Mykola Lysenko with lyrics by Mykhailo Starytsky. Martin Watkins used this version as the inspiration for his arrangement of the song.”
The adaptation uses some effective string arrangements (not surprising given the calibre of the musicians involved) and the end result is a charming and magical tune, yet one which emphasises its Ukrainian roots.
“The song is not Political as such” suggests the Soft Cell frontman, “but it references the beautiful nature of the country as a setting for the comfort and support of a friend or lover and a feeling of bravery, not being afraid of the night gives it relevant meaning. The reference to the night being so bright that you can collect needles is typically Ukrainian in the original song.”
Addressing the choice of the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal as a worthy cause, Marc adds: “There are a few funds but I think this is a good one as every penny is matched. It doesn’t go towards military things but to the aid of the displaced and suffering.”
Moonlit Night also appears on "Heal The Sky", a charity compilation aiming to help children who are victims of the war in Ukraine. All proceeds from the sales and streaming of the compilation will go to Kyiv’s specialised children's hospital "Ohmatdyt".

Ukrainian song Moonlit Night recorded to raise funds for Ukrainian humanitarian causes
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken commended the Ukrainian counteroffensive during an unannounced trip to Kyiv Thursday, saying the effort to regain control of Russian-held areas of the country was "proving effective."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a surprise visit to Kyiv to confer with President Zelenskyy and other officials.
Blinken's visit to the Ukrainian capital -- his second since the war with Russia began more than six months ago -- coincided with the announcement of an additional $625 million tranche of security assistance to support Ukraine, as well as an intended $2.2 billion in long-term investments to bolster the security of Ukraine and 18 other regional countries.
In a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Blinken credited the success of the counteroffensive to the "incredible bravery, resilience of Ukrainians," saying that "fundamentally, what this comes down, I think the reason for this success is this is your homeland, not Russia's. And it's as basic as that."
Sec. Blinken also visited hospitalized children who were injured by indiscriminate Russian bombing.
During his Thursday trip, Blinken, accompanied by US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, visited the National Children's Specialized Hospital Ohmatdyt in Kyiv and met with children who were being treated there -- including some injured in the war. He also met Patron, the mine-sniffing dog who has gained international renown.
Blinken brought some doggie treats for Patron who has become one of the most famous dogs in the world.
And while much of the attention regarding the war has been in the south around Kherson, Ukraine has launched a successful counteroffensive in the east near Kharkiv – the country’s second largest city.
Ukraine advanced 20 km into Russian-held territory in Kharkiv Oblast – ISW
Ukrainian advances at least 20km into Russian-held territory in eastern Kharkiv Oblast on September 7, recapturing approximately 400 square kilometers of ground, the Institute for Study of War writes in its report.
The surprise offensive is likely exploiting Russian force reallocation in response to the Ukrainian offensive in Kherson Oblast to conduct an opportunistic yet highly effective counteroffensive northwest of Izium. The level of surprise of Russian millbloggers testifies to the level of success of Ukrainian forces.
Yep, push the orcs back to the border. ➠
