On February 20, 2014, Russian soldiers with weapons but without identification marks invaded Ukrainian Crimea. Soon, Russia occupied the peninsula, began armed aggression in the east of Ukraine, and in 2022 — a full-scale war.
Ukraine has been fighting for freedom, justice, and peace for ten years. We fight to liberate Crimea and every Ukrainian village, town, and city. But most importantly, we fight for people who are subjected to terror and intimidation in the temporarily occupied territories yet resist Russia's suppression and wait for Ukraine.
We are at our home, we are with our people, with our dream of a peaceful future and duty to protect what's ours. No one will take our freedom. Because we know what we are fighting for.

💔 A Ukrainian poet and soldier, Maksym Kryvtsov, was killed by Russians at the front. He first volunteered for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2014. After the full-scale Russian invasion began in 2022, he returned to its ranks to defend Ukraine.
Just yesterday, Maksym posted a photo with his new poetry book called "Poems from the loophole". It was recognised by PEN Ukraine, an NGO protecting freedom of speech and authors' rights, as one of the best Ukrainian books of 2023.
Shortly before his death, Maksym also posted a photo with his ginger cat on Instagram. The cat, to whom he had dedicated a poem, died with him.
Russia keeps killing Ukrainian poets and trying to destroy our culture. The evil must be held accountable for every crime, every life, and every word taken away.
The russians blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) dam early this morning. As a result of the explosion of the engine room from the inside, the station was completely destroyed. The Kakhovka HPP is beyond repair.
At least 150 tons of machine oil has spilled into the Dnipro River due to the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP, and there is a risk of further leakage of over 300 tons. 80 settlements are in the flood zone.
Unfortunately, in occupied Novaya Kakhovka, the Kazkova Dibrova amusement park, where the zoo is located, was flooded. Local publications report that some animals have died, the fate of other animals is unknown...
One of the tasks of the HPP is to provide water to Ukraine's arid south by accumulating and redistributing water resources. Due to the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, the temporarily occupied Crimea amy remain without drinking water.
Ukraine’s southern military command says russians occupants blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine to prevent Ukrainian forces from crossing the Dnipro River.
In the photos below you can see the results of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam:
