But I also witnessed something impossible to destroy: the spirit of freedom - and the remarkable strength to rise above pain with dignity and kindness.

When I studied English at my beloved school in Kyiv, after Ukraine gained independence from the Moscow-ruled USSR, I could hardly have imagined that I’d use it to live-translate Ukraine’s President for three years of Russia’s war, asking the world not to turn its back on Kyiv.

A closed Telegram channel in Russian, which I won’t name for security reasons, shares an interview with a retired Russian Major General, revealing ‘a real situation’ on the battlefield.
He admits to the ‘horrifying speed of losses’ among Russian commanders in Ukraine.

Watching Christmas decorations vanish feels like saying goodbye to a fairy tail, hoping to encounter it again in just under a year.
I wish everyone around the world could enjoy the simple pleasure of peace with their loved ones, this festive season and beyond.

In Ukraine, friends are your family of choice. Mine has become one more beloved person smaller.
We met studying politics. Volodia had 3 uni degrees & was a talented theatre actor.
He wanted his 2 kids to live in peace, at home, in free, democratic Ukraine.
Hugs to the family💔

My grandma wouldn’t waste a crumb of bread. She told me she had been lucky to survive #Holodomor.
The human-made famine, organised by Moscow’s USSR under Stalin, claimed millions of lives in Ukraine in 1932-33 and in the lesser-known famines of 1921-23 and 1946-47.
