Europe may not hold the cards.

But Europe holds the eggs
So the US went from wanting Greenland to wanting eggs

Putin claims he supports 30‑day ceasefire, but immediately adds “nuances” that make it unworkable. And the biggest nuance is never trust Russia

🚨 My first full-fledged speculative illustration project 🚨

This illustration is made for an article by @maxkozlov.bsky.social published in @nature.com. Love how it turned out!

Trump says we have half a ceasefire. So those are half-drones I hear half-exploding in Kyiv tonight?

Ceasefires are not peace, nor are they binding. Putin knows this all too well. He has violated every one of them.

Trump's administration published a list of his 50 "achievements", where he claims to be a genius peacemaker - this is how he envisions himself I believe.

P.S.: I hope, France will be able to forgive me.

No one had any problem discussing Biden’s sharpness of of mind (or lack thereof).

So when are we going to stop pretending that these sort of comments are anything but senile ramblings?

And you can’t think of a more consequential life and death context.

This sunset in Kyiv is so menacing.

If the White House is so bothered with people's looks, why won't they get Trump a normal wig and makeup? Instead of taking him to the Oompa Loompas' beauty parlor.

This is a perfect illustration of the heart of the philosophy, "rules for thee but not for me" that explodes from the admin!

If you want to stop World War Three, think what would have stopped World War Two.

Occupation of the Ruhr. Anschluss with Austria. Annexation of Sudetenland. Hitler could have been stopped each time.

But fear of war led to war.

Don’t repeat the mistake.

Thank you, good people, for standing with Ukraine!

Seeing non-Ukrainians expressing their support and condemning the bullies is really important right now.

This won’t get a headline, but JD Vance stammered when Zelenskyy challenged him about not having been to Ukraine yet saying what their problems are.

Watching this from Ukraine is extremely unnerving. Will that brawl in the Oval office make things even worse for us?

These past few weeks have been wild for Ukraine, so I feel the urge to say something about. Thread 👇

Three years ago Russia invaded my country. The second unprovoked invasion since 2014. Lives of millions were turned upside down once again, including mine.

Some things don't change...

I created this illustration one year ago. It shows speaker Mike Johnson comfortably sitting in his chair and reading the Bible, while Russia is razing to the ground the town of Avdiivka in Ukraine.

Being woken up by explosions is still something I cannot get used to, even after almost 3 years of the full-scale invasion

Hello there!

I am not very active on Bluesky (but might become in the future). So, this is a quick introduction for all the people who have followed me recently 🙂

My new illustration (and a comic of some kind) marks a 7-day countdown to Trump's inauguration.

People around the world are bracing themselves for a dramatic change. Especially here in Ukraine, we hardly know what to expect.

So weird, I haven't been active here for a long while and not much was happening. But since yesterday I've gained 20+ followers for no reason, and they keep coming!

If you are one of my new followers, could you please let me know what made you follow me?
