Good morning!

I’ll be back to posting content original regularly tomorrow. Back in the states for a month and then back to Ukraine.

As a creative, I remind you all that training our bodies is as important as we exercise our minds.

Take care of your health!

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, who spent 2 yrs in Russian captivity. Starved & beaten, he survived by teaching fellow POWs English. Some can now hold conversations. Even in hell, he created hope.

Trump will not end the war in Ukraine.

These are my thoughts.

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainians—not niggers.

When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen.

Thing is, she’s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

That low, buzzing roar you hear outside my apartment? That’s a Russian drone. They’re engineered to sound exactly like that—mechanical, guttural, impossible to ignore. It’s psychological warfare, built to rattle nerves and keep entire civilian populations in a constant state of fear.

Happy Independence Day to Ukraine!

I interviewed Maksym Butkevych, a brave human rights activist who spent over two years as a POW in Russian captivity. His fight for Ukraine's inclusive future moved me deeply.

Yaroslav left Brooklyn to fight for Ukraine—for love, heritage, and freedom. He says this war will be long, and no one fighting believes Trump’s peace push will work. Putin only respects strength. This is my most watched interview—watch it at Terrell J Starr Official on YouTube.

We can’t talk about the geopolitics of Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders without calling out his racist rant about crime in Washington, DC.

He basically said DC, the capital city hosting peace talks for Ukraine, is too crime ridden to enjoy a nice dinner.

I can’t let that slide.

Two criminals met in Alaska to legitimise each other.

My thoughts on Trump and Putin’s meeting.

Russia is attacking Ukraine as Putin and Trump meet in Alaska.

Azealia Banks insulted Ukrainian POW Oleksandr Kiriienko.

His response is worthy of praise!

I had a great conversation with @olenakr.bsky.social about defense and how Ukrainians can build racial solidarity with Black peoples around the world. Check out our full conversation on Substack at Terrell J Starr Official.

Why should Black people care about Ukraine?

Do you think Trump will send Ukraine new weapons and sanction Russia today? If so why?

VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENT: On July 17, I am relaunching my YouTube channel, this time under my name, Terrell J Starr Official. I will publish weekly podcast videos that feature me interviewing Ukrainians from all walks of life

Putin claims his army doesn’t target civilians.

But drone attacks on residential buildings, kidnapping of children, s*xual assaults and torture of civilians and occupation of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant proves otherwise, as I outline in my latest explainer.
What other lies does Putin tell?

Putin says russia doesn’t target civilians.

He’s lying.

Watch my explainer detailing how Russia brutalizes Ukrainian non-combatants.
