Hope more people around the world will read Ukrainian literature. Besides sharing our story, we have to learn as well, so I highly recommend the Taiwanese novel The Stolen Bicycle by Wu Ming Yi which was also translated into Ukrainian.

Thanks to brilliant Yu-Hsuan Hsu, who does a lot of work to translate and represent Ukrainian culture in Taiwan and Taiwanese in Ukraine, I had the pleasure of contributing to Taiwanese journal and telling about contemporary Ukrainian literature and war. My price in Chinese: https://bit.ly/3OYa5Nw.

The phenomenal ability of Ukrainians to self-organize and help each other is something that genuinely pleases me.

I don't care what happens on the muscovy swamps, I wish them all to hell.
ще й дня не пройшло, а уже все прибрали, розібрали уламки, надали допомогу 💔

‼️Russia plans terrorist attack on Zaporizhzhia NPP. This is the biggest NPP in Europe. If this happens, the scale of contamination will be huge, not only Ukraine, but Europe, Turkey, etc. may be affected. International community should work to extract Ru military from the NPP and demilitarize it!

First, Russian novels about occupation of Donetsk and full-scale invasion appeared (since 2009). Then everything actually happened. No, it’s not a prophecy, just a propaganda. Talked about that and Elisabeth Gilbert’s book on the podcast with @yewleea.bsky.social: https://youtu.be/ijsj8IPQXGc

Kate Thurkan wrote about the abysmal press coverage following Elizabeth Gilbert’s postponement of her novel and the need to defend all things presumed to be Russian for #KyivIndependent.

Ми з колегами (Катерина Зарембо,Роман Горбик) готуємо збірник (англійською) наукових статей про те, як у різних сферах люди не помічають імперіалізм, як такі білі плями впливають на дискурси, політики, рішення. Якщо ви досліджуєте таке - пишіть нам. Як ні, лишаймось на зв’язку, аби почитати то всьо🔥

A dam in Ukraine was designed to withstand almost any attack imaginable — from the outside. The evidence suggests Russia blew it up from within.
