#ukraine russia invasion

[fate221]

Drawing I made to distract myself a little from anxiety while sitting in the shelter in full darkness, without electricity, while Russia was launching about 100 missiles upon us yesterday. Still can’t get used to air raid sirens even though we hear it literally everyday, especially after massive attack in October when a missile hit my street (it was a children’s playground btw). R*ssia doesn’t even hide anymore they’re targeting objects of civilian infrastructure to leave us without electricity and water, this is their first target. Lots of innocent people keep dying everyday because of them and I’m just living with a thought that my closed ones or I can be next.

Quick question from someone who didn't watch Eurovision's semi finals and just found out that Ukraine will participate in this year's contest: I have said multiple times that the Russian invasion is a literal crime.

However, I cannot understand for the life of me, how when there is war going on in your country, when innocents are dying and those who survive, do so under inhumane conditions, when you ask other countries for financial and military aid, you decide to spend money on sending a song to Eurovision!

And what are you gonna do in case you win? Because I don't think that a country who's being attacked, can financially support that!

Headlines: U.S. to send 15th military package to Ukraine, bringing total aid in Russia war to $7 billion

— Overall, the U.S. has sent about $7.3 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war began in late February.

Biden is set to announce a new security assistance package worth $400 million for Ukraine.

Which is about $40 billion in aid …. When you add other country’s contributions.

This is enough to aide DRC, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Syria, & The U.S.

But this whole production is not about aiding a humanitarian crisis… this is about U.S/European corruption.

…. And Frankly they can care less if the rest of us rot…

I’m very tired. you probably heard that Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to slow Ukraine’s counter offensive. here’s something I didn’t quite realize: since this February, the Russians operated the dam in juuuuust the right way so that as much water would build up as possible when the snow melted and spring showers started. and then they blew the whole thing up.

40,000 people may need to be evacuated. I don’t really have the energy to say anything else right now.

Hospitallers Medical Battalion: actual angels can confirm. they’re combat-zone medical services - you know how humanitarian groups like MFS and Red Cross have to pause operations due to the Russians fucking shooting at humanitarian zones? yeah, these guys don’t pause for bullets, they fucking walk into them and they bring out anyone they can.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation: you can choose from a number of various fundraiser projects here, if you’re feeling particularly picky. for those of you who balk at the idea of supporting anything military just please remember that things like vehicles and drones aren’t just for military use, they’re also for evacuation and finding the wounded and they’re fucking vital.

KSE Foundation: similar to the above, KSE has multiple projects you can choose from to donate to. looking at it right now, one of the projects with the lowest amounts of money raised thus far - despite being started in April - is Seeds for Ukraine, which will help Ukraine recover from the ecological devastation Russia has been wreaking (and with Ukraine, the countries that rely on Ukraine’s grain exports that Russia keeps trying to steal).

Come Back Alive: do these guys even need the introduction? they’re Come Back Alive. I’m kissing all of them.

United24: Zelenskyy’s brain child, and the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. Mark Hamill recommends the fundraisers for drones in particular.

UAnimals: Nova Kakhovka’s zoo got... pretty much completely swept away. all zoo residents except the birds have drowned. UAnimals has tried throughout the occupation to keep the animals safe, and they’ve been reporting on the status of the zoo. I don’t really know what to say except that I hope they’re able to save the pets and strays in the towns along the river.

You can find NGOs specific to evacuation efforts in this post; please signal boost it as well. I’ve listed them but am leaving the links for the op post.

ukraine may be fighting the biggest modern empire in the world that wants to take its colony back to oppress and subjugate its people and culture as it has been for CENTURIES but that still not anti-imperialistic enough for some people

The thing is, I have nothing against socialism or communism as a political ideology; trust me, I'm as anti-capitalist as they come. The leftism is really not the problem here.

The problem is when in their leftism, people – Americans, really, and western Europeans – use the ussr as this sort of goal, this complete antithesis to the modern capitalist society, this almost-utopian place to live. They use hammer and sickle symbol, the ussr anthem; sometimes, as a joke, sometimes, not so much.

Not only that clearly shows that they know absolutely nothing about the ussr – it's also spreading russian propaganda, whether it's on purpose or not, which is especially insidious now, when russia is literally committing a genocide.

The ussr wasn't a socialist utopia where everyone is equal. It was a totalitarian dictatorship, responsible for colonisation and genocide of multiple people and cultures. Just like the russian Empire before it. Just like modern russia continues to do now.

For many Eastern European and Central Asian people, hammer and sickle is not just a symbol of a political ideology. It's the symbol, under which people were starved to death, imprisoned or executed for daring to write in their own language; in which cultures were erased, people – forcefully assimilated, stripped of their own national identity.

It's the propaganda of being "the same people, the same nation" that russians love to use; that westerners love to believe, for the sole reason of the oppressed daring to look similar to the oppressor; for the sole reason of Americans being unable to look past their own history and realize oppression comes in many shapes and forms.

By using the ussr symbols in your political movement, you're denying the atrocities commited under that symbol and spreading russian propaganda, whether it's on purpose or not.

It's not "progressive" to wave around a hate symbol.

Do your research.

today, February 24, second year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The tenth year of the war. A centurys of struggle. Thousands and thousands of killed and maimed people. Endless grief and pain. Fear and rage. If you have Ukrainian friends, support them today, this is a difficult day for all of us 🫂

UPDATE: Zelenskyy's advisor denied this information. White House officials refused to comment on it. But a russian oil refinery was attacked with drones tonight, so the attacks continue 💪🏻. Anyway, if you are an US citizen, please contact your representative to tell them that the Ukraine aid bill must pass.

So you force Ukraine to give up their nukes, you don't follow up with your "security assurances" when russia first attacked. It's 2 years after the full scale invasion, and the aid for Ukraine is paused, and now you have the audacity to tell Ukraine to not attack russian oil refineries because "think of the oil prices 🥺"

‼️Approximately 110 missiles were launched by Russia, most of them were shot down, - Zelenskyi

Maternity hospital, educational institutions, shopping center, high-rise buildings and private houses, commercial warehouse, parking lot. Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and our other cities.

Today, Russia was fighting with almost everything it has in its arsenal: "daggers" ("kyndzhaly"), S-300, cruise missiles, UAVs. Strategic bombers launched X-101/X-505. Approximately 110 missiles were fired, most of which were shot down.

Unfortunately, as a result of the shelling, there are dead and wounded.

Good fucking morning from Ukraine after the massive shelling by russia with almost everything they've got. I personally heard pretty loud explosions over my head. Thanks to our air defence I am alive.

But still there are lots of injured people across all the country as well as some dead.

"Gentle" reminder that russia is a terrorist state

Upd: the numbers of injured and killed are growing

Imagine sitting in your room, doing routine stuff, when suddenly you hear air raid siren shouting behind your window. You’re immediately grabbing your pet, blanket and few candles. Electricity is turned off, there’s no lighting, no noice from the fridge or lamps or other. You’re entering your bathroom that is the most save place in the apartment when you hear an explosion somewhere next to your house, windows and walls are shaking. The sound of explosion is abrupt and dull, that wasn’t the first time at all you heard it. You sit next to the wall, light up some candles and start to call your closed ones, sit frozen till they answer. And you keep hearing explosions around you in the full darkness. You’re surviving it today but you don’t know what will be the next time.

Sounds pretty scary yeah? Just like some epic and exciting war movie. Surely this will never happen to you right? Me and my closed ones thought the same just some time ago. But now this text above is our reality now. I repeat - this is the reality for EVERY ukrainian, every peaceful citizen, just like you. We have to deal with it for almost a year now. This can happen ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. The missiles don’t care if you’re in a bathroom, if you have plans for today, if you’re drawing some fanart. They just want to destroy you, destroy electric stations, destroy your comfort, destroy your life.

This is the plan of r*ssians for today. They are directly targeting civilians every day, just for us being Ukrainians and wanting to live on our land. The terrorists won’t leave you alone till they reach what they want.

#I drew it after another massive attack by r*ssia #I was without electricity heat and connection just my dying iPad to draw this #this war is horrible #I usually feel like screaming in the void every time I talk about it online #because many people still won’t understand this horror #but I still feel like I have to continue sharing it #art is my main stress relief these times also #it’s a good way to keep myself busy #warinukraine #Ukraine #help ukraine #stop russia #ukraine russia invasion #russia is a terrorist state #украрт #my art #my art war

Wanna see how Russians hunted civilian cars in Kyiv region in March 2022?

Surreal now that it was all happening some 15 km from where I lived and I followed the local chats crying that "People, don't evacuate by the road leading to Zhytomyrska highway! Russians are hiding among trees off road there and shooting down civilian cars!!" in real time - and now I can actually see it happening on recovered footage from street cameras. Surreal.

Russia offers visas to Latvian Defenders of demolished monuments

Moscow is now ready to grant asylum to the Latvians who had faced harassment for protecting their government's crackdown on Soviet-era symbols. Moscow's embassy to Riga has clarified that "it has started issuing Russian visas to the citizens who had been detained in the case related to the crackdown of monuments."

You've been inactive for a while. I hope you're okay

Hi, I hope I didn't cause too much worry with my inactivity. I am alive, but I don't think I'll be posting on tumblr anymore.

This blog began with the intention of making the ukrainian perspective on war in Ukraine visible for the foreign audience, and with most of the interaction coming from other Ukrainians, I feel like I'm in an echo chamber.

Not to dissmiss the foreigners who still care - rest assured, your support is seen, appreciated and much needed.

But the majority of people on this website are actively hostile, condescending and dissmissive towards Ukrainians, and my time is better spent elsewhere than arguing with privileged teenagers who think the peak tragedy of the war in Ukraine is that "russian culture is being destroyed" (reality check: russian artists are thriving in Europe on foreign grants, while ukrainian artists and art are being destroyed every day, together with everything we have).

If anyone still cares, please donate to any trustworthy initiative (if you don't know any, United24, BackAndAlive, Serhiy Prytula Foundation and Hospitaliers are always sound choices). The word "desperate" fails to describe the atmosphere right now. We feel like we are left to die.
