Cherkasy, Ukraine. Parents are lighting up a soccer field with car lights for their kids to be able to have their usual practice and live kind of “normal” life. Russians can destroy our electricity but they can’t destroy our love and light inside Ukrainians. Credit to Olena Shabunina.

That was the night in Kyiv. Son's school has no windows on the first floor. Kids go for learning anyway. Diplomats will talk about how they were disturbed. Soldiers will fight for our land. Russia still exists.

Ukraine hit targets in Russia that used in this barbaric war. Russia hit civilians, killed kids. Today 4 kids died because of Russians. And Trump administration put this in the same row as an evidence that nobody want to end this war. Crazy.

This isn’t just a new tattoo. It’s a symbol of the Evil Mavka - resistance movement of UA women during the Russian occupation. It’s my sign of respect for the incredibly heroic women who do not give up in the most difficult life circumstances, and believe in Ukraine even more than the rest of us.
