Vasyl Stus wrote poem “Enough Blood” in 1971. It fits today’s privileged pacifism well.
- Enough blood, - the torturer declared,
When the knife was still driven under my ribs,
Stuck in my back.
And I thought, all wincing with pain:
What if he decides
To be my doctor as well?

Wishing muscovy more such takeoffs. as Bismarck said: "Russia is not as strong as it looks". but unfortunately he also added: "neither as weak as we wish".

An artwork by Maria Schneider-Senyuk dedicated to the 1930s hunger in Ukraine. Maria drew inspiration from traditional ornaments. Her art was looted by the russian military from the Kherson art museum in 2022.

Today's commemoration of muscovy intentionally induced famine in Ukraine - 1932-1933. It was emotionally moving, decent and important and very well attended event.

We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.

Everyone is focusing on the explosion. Almost no one is talking about what failed before the impact. The real story is much worse for the Kremlin. 📷

A gas station in Kharkiv region, heavily damaged by Russian glide bombs, is working again. Just like that, within days, it was restored and back in operation.
We’re not all rubble and ruin because Ukrainians work, rebuild, and never stop.
Proud.

Let's check in on the guy in Russian occupied Donetsk that uses Instagram to sell the apartments of murdered Ukrainians for local gangsters.
This one even comes with all the personal belongings, such as cooking utensils and blankets.

Ukrainian war veteran Andrii Khomiak from the Zhytomyr region went to defend his homeland back in 2015.
When the Russian full-scale invasion began, he returned to the military, this time joining the 26th Brigade defending Kyiv⤵️

Dear Europe, especially Germany,
Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.
Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.
Europe must defend Europe.

election days (Friday and Saturday) in Czechia. Will it become new Hungary or grudgingly continue status quo. anyway it looks like new parliament will be great material for stand-up comedians as all 16 mapped parties have good chance to enter parliament (either stand alone or in coalitions).
