That moment. Le 16 janvier 2014, l'Ukraine a connu un truc similaire, sous le président Ianoukovitch, quand des lois scélérates à main levée ont pénalisé les protestations. Le lendemain, les manifestants de Maidan débarquaient sur la place avec des casseroles et des passoires sur la tête (1)

Dieppe, France. December 2024.

Christmas Day, Christmas time. In the meantime, Russia sent over 180 flying weapons (drones and missiles) to hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructures.

In images I never thought I would see in my lifetime, the revolutionary Syrian flag is being raised at the Syrian embassy in MOSCOW.

Few things explain the scale of Russia’s military and strategic defeat in Syria more than this.

Kyiv, Ukraine. December 2024

In Ukraine, the war has, of course, impacted social inequalities. However, the immense solidarity among the people prevents them from showing off too much. But even if you almost don’t see homelessness in the streets, there are still signs.

Kyiv, #ukraine, 30 November 2024

Tonight, there were only one alarm and 1 or two Russian kamikaze drones over Kyiv—a rare and noteworthy respite after nearly four months of every night massive attacks. At one point the crows will reclaim dominion over the skies.

If we extrapolate the current war against Ukraine to World War II (as we often do), at this point, Hitler has invaded Poland but suffered defeats near Warsaw and Krakow, lost Poznan and has been locked in grueling battles for almost three years over completely devastated border districts.

#Kyiv, #Ukraine. November 2024

In Kyiv, even amidst the #war and nightly bombings, the city awakens each day and strives to carry on with a semblance of normal life. Advertisements for military units stand side by side with those for cat food, a surreal blend of resilience and routine.

Kyiv, Ukraine. November 2024.

In Kyiv, because of the blackout, people gather in cafes, where, thanks to the mobile generator units, they can connect to internet and work.
