Autumn, 1960. A watercolor painting by Ukrainian artist Kateryna Bilokur. If you haven’t heard about this artist before, read a story of her incredible life below. You will be touched, inspired, shocked, and very moved.

Almost entire east of democratic Ukraine, particularly the important east-central gas-producing areas, came under heavy Blitz air attack by fascist Russia overnight. Kyiv lost power around 0110, and my area now on a scheduled outage until 1130. Trains to/from east also delayed.

All historic.

I learned about it today.

The Zhovkva Iconostasis

A seven-tier Baroque masterpiece by Ivan Rutkovych, created in 1697-1699 & carved from linden wood.

Measuring 10.85x11.87 meters, it was partly destroyed over the centuries but later restored –
one of the greatest treasures of Ukrainian sacred art

Kyiv
has many cozy bookstores.
They offer food for the brain (books)
and coffee for long, often sleepless nights.

Nations that read can think critically.
Please, read books.

Glad you had a calm night in Kyiv!

A beautiful autumn mood video in the park, with birds still chirping. I notice how many creative people there are in Kyiv, writers, painters. Beauty and culture are deeply rooted in Ukraine.

🔴 The latest UN report exposes Russia’s systematic use of drones and deportations drive civilians from their homes across Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

These are war crimes and crimes against humanity, part of a state policy of depopulation.

That the Budapest meeting is off signals that Trump simply cannot help Ru fully/unconditionally. He's helping Pu waste time and he's refusing to help Ukraine win, but he won't meet w Pu when Ru openly insists on Ukr capitulation. My guess is the strong bipartisan support for Ukr constrains Trump.

Illia and Nazar were separated by the war and hadn’t seen each other for a whole year. Finally, they met again in a surprise reunion organized by their parents.

Despite the time passed, they prove that true friendship is stronger than distance❤️

🍂 Weekend at @berrveld.bsky.social's Garden Fair in 🇧🇪. The first smile we met is our friend Kit's at the 🇺🇦 stand.

Her smile says it all. The war isn’t only about borders. It’s about the right to exist, to live freely & proudly. And that’s something worth standing for.

Keep standing with Ukraine 💙💛
