'"The Dogs of Mariupol" by @tomthescribe.bsky.social is a call to action to the entire international community, but particularly to Aotearoa New Zealand. Mutch urges people to care about the struggle of Ukrainians as if they were their own neighbours in trouble.' - read full review at the Spinoff.

For nearly a century, invaders have used aerial terror to break civilian spirit and force capitulation. In 1940–41, Britain endured the Blitz. Today, Ukraine faces constant Russian strikes.

✍️ @cyrilk.bsky.social examines lessons from Britain’s response.

This new US leadership sounds as if their values are rather aligned with russia's. I'm horrified to think that everything said and done by them so far might lead to the contemporary twist of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, just with another partner for Moscow. What a disgrace. Wake the World up!

In my article for @ukrainer-en.bsky.social I consider an alliance or confederation of European states as a shield against Russian aggression. Polish-Lithuanian Commowealth was formed for that purpose. Ukraine should had been its equal member. Today many countries are on the same page about defence.

My pinnacle article so far for @ukrainer-en.bsky.social ! 🌟 ‪This platform provides reliable info about events in Ukraine and is an independent, grassroots project. Before the full-scale invasion, ‪it focused on rediscovering and presenting Ukraine, its culture, and regional gems internationally. 🇺🇦✨

The Nov-Dec 2024 issue of the 🇳🇿 NZIR journal features a review of "The War Came to Us" by @christopherjm.ft.com, an important first-person account of civic realities in Ukraine 🇺🇦 over 2009-22 and its remarkable defence against the brutal Russian invasion. issuu.com/nziia/docs/n...

This article delves into the complex strategies of Reflexive control used by Russia to spread disinformation and manipulate narratives and decisions globally. Discover the physcology behind these efforts and ways to counter it. 🌍 issuu.com/bordermanage...

The latest Line of Defence magazine issue explores how Russia, through the Wagner Group, expanded its imperial violence. This nourished by the state, ideologically driven and globalisation-enabled organisation exemplifies Russian state international terrorism. 🌍 issuu.com/bordermanage...

The UN’s relevance is at risk due to members' failure to enforce legal provisions against veto power abuse in the Security Council. 📰 In the NZIR Jan/Feb 2025 issue, I explore this critical issue. 📖 issuu.com/nziia/docs/n...

How do we interpret Russia’s war against Ukraine? Political realists emphasise power dynamics and national interest, often overshadowing smaller states. Liberal internationalists stress international norms and cooperation for global peace. 📖 Read more: www.creativeukrainians.org.nz/blog/post/11...

Even the 2008 invasion of Georgia wasn’t the first alarm 🚨 Russian military forces in Moldova since the 1990s and the two devastating invasions of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria were earlier tests of international indifference. 📖 Read more in the Line of Defence Magazine issuu.com/bordermanage...

Russian aggression against other sovereign states didn’t start in 2022. The invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 started in 2014, preceded by the invasion of Georgia 🇬🇪 in 2008. Both were conducted by the same playbook. 📖 Read more in the NZIR article, republished at www.creativeukrainians.org.nz/blog/post/10...

Russia's efforts to subjugate Ukraine 🇺🇦 are part of a broader geopolitical strategy rooted in historical theories of territorial control. The article www.geopoliticalmonitor.com/the-ukraine-... links these theories with contemporary events, explaining importance of Ukraine in global power dynamics.🌍

History provides the foundation for understanding the present.📚 This article succinctly (~2,300 words) explains Ukraine's 🇺🇦 history with the aid of visual elements, primarily maps 🗺️, as I presented it for the @nziia.bsky.social in November 2023.
