Ukrainian writing about Ukraine and Russia ⎊ Product Designer ⎊ Making flashlights for UA defenders at Syaivo
From the start, Russia’s ceasefire was just a cover to reload missiles and stockpile drones. They will strike homes, kill children, and freeze elderly.
This is what happens when criminals go unpunished and are instead welcomed into international sports and awarded for movies.

Fucking Groundhog Day.
Russians kill train passengers with drones, kill people evacuating from an occupied village with FPV, and before that, hit residential building in Odesa killing a man… endless cycle of Russian crimes.
And no consequences for Russia from the world.

Worse than yet another Russian terrorist attack that kills civilians are those who continue doing business with Russia rather than destroying it.

Volodymyr Zelensky presented Oleg Lyashko with a state award.
Lyashko was a politician and now serves as commander of the unmanned systems battalion of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade.
His words from 2015 are still relevant today ⬇️

Putin: “We gifted Crimea to Ukraine.”
Trump: “We gifted Greenland to Denmark.”
Even if that were true, how morally bankrupt must someone be to demand a “gift” back years later?

Our Syaivo workshop has received requests for more than 500 flashlights for defenders.
Days are dark and there are electricity shortages. That is why I decided to start a fundraiser so that defenders can get flashlights faster.
Thank you in advance for sharing and supporting⬇️

“Many things that would be right are illegal.”
Shame on the Swiss government. No amount of money can justify shameful friendship with the Russians, let alone the disgraceful humiliation of its own heroic citizens.

By pushing Ukraine to surrender, the US is once again sending a clear message to all countries threatened by invasion from larger countries: they will be punished for attempting to defend themselves.

The fact that Ukraine transparent, sincere, and accountable is, unfortunately, a huge disadvantage in today's world.
Russians, who adapt reality as they see fit, even at the cost of outright lies, have chosen a more favorable strategy.

Russians destroyed the Zaporizhzhia-Kamianske railway station in my hometown of Kamianske.
In 2017, this station was given back its historical name, which it received in 1884 and lost in 1924 after the Soviet occupation.
No military objectives, just Russian terror.

To understand the scale of the disaster Russia brought to Ukraine, it’s enough to listen to an ordinary Ukrainian.
Recently, I watched a fascinating video about a high-tech Ukrainian pet food manufacturer, and in the comments, I came across a story that hit me hard.

Our flashlight survived the FPV attack 😬
The defender is safe, and that's the most important for us. We will send a new flashlight and take this one for research 😊

An idea for NATO countries whose airspace is being violated by Russian aircraft and drones:
1. Shoot them down.
2. Pretend you don't understand what happened.
3. Conduct numerous investigations.
4. Generate thousands of versions why it’s happened.
5. “It's not us.”

Vitaly Portnikov, a Ukrainian journalist, put it well:
“In 2022, one of the main reasons why Europe refused to close Ukrainian sky was Russian planes with pilots were there.
Why today it does not shoot down drones in Ukrainian airspace defies any logic.”

When the West is still scared of a huge gas station ruled by terrorists, it's getting harder to put frustration about this absurdity into words.

NATO countries have failed to understand Putin's logic.
He lives according to Russian prison concepts. He is a gopnik, a thug, a robber. He has no family, no wife, no kids. But most importantly, he despises weakness in his enemies.
NATO feeds Putin with fear.

I think we don't recognize enough how Bulgaria has helped Ukraine.
A huge number of shells and weapons were donated, which helped to fight the Russian invasion and reduce casualties among Ukrainians.
The Bulgarians did this quietly, without pathos, but extremely effectively.

In 2022, Poland’s leadership felt an existential threat. That was the main reason they supported Ukraine so strongly at the time.
When the war began to feel “far away,” came the politics: hostile statements, border blockades, and manipulations of history.

Russians and their apologists deny the Holodomor.
At the same time, Russians are:
1. Stealing Ukrainian grain.
2. Burning Ukrainian fields.
3. Destroying Ukrainian grain elevators.
4. Killing Ukrainian farmers.
