I’m proud to share another episode of the Ukrainian Roots Podcast / Подкаст «Українське коріння»! In “Episode Two: Language Matters,” author and translator @tetyanaukrainka.bsky.social (20 Days in Mariupol) speaks with me about the beauty of the Ukrainian language. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

FRIENDS! My amazing friend Roxy's feature film, 'JULIA BLUE', is now available to rent or purchase in the U.S. and Canada! Shot in Ukraine before 2022, the film is a time capsule of a city, country, and people who have been forever changed. Amazon Prime Video (USA): www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

🚨🇺🇦Ukraine has chosen “2000 Meters to Andriivka” as their submission for the 2026 Oscars 🚨🇺🇦 Incredibly proud to have been on the translation team of this film. If you haven’t seen it already, plase try and find a screening. It will change your life.

If Mariupol is a testament to how Russia terrorizes a country, Andriivka is a testament to how Ukrainians keep their humanity in the face of evil. I’m so proud of this film. I'm so proud to have helped tell its story.

Mstyslav Chernov is the storyteller the world needs. Andriivka premiers in NYC Friday the 25th of July. From Aug 1, it’ll be in select cinemas. Don’t turn away. These soldiers sacrificed everything to protect their country. The least you can do is witness it.

‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ is a story about the soldiers sacrificing their lives for the country they love. Proud to have been on the team of translators for his latest documentary; these stories are too important not to be seen and heard. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Finally, here is the trailer for ‘2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA’ by Mstyslav Chernov— a documentary about the Ukrainian counteroffensive. I was honored to work on this as a translator, with Frontline. The film will be screening in UK and Irish cinemas starting August 1st. Tickets: 2000meters.film

POV: Uzhorod, Ukraine (where some of my family is from) ☺️🇺🇦🌿

IT’S JUNE! HAPPY PRIDE 🌈🦄🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 #PrideMonth My friend Andrew has a message for everyone- and a link to support the queer Ukrainian community: lgbtukrainesupport.com

And just like that… Cynthia Nixon is wearing Ukrainian label Bevza for the launch of the latest season. 😎🇺🇦

Happy Vyshyvanka Day from me and my 55-year old vyshyvanka that I inherited from my Babchya Yulia 💝🇺🇦

A vyshyvanka is metal af.

It’s beautiful to me that when you search “vyshyvanka” or “Ukraine” as a GIF to use on Instagram, it’s flooded with embroidery, flags, wheat. 4 yrs ago when you searched “Ukraine” you’d get a GIF of a drunk Russian dude. It IS possible to change the narrative. 🇺🇦

Happy Vyshyvanka Day. Ukrainian women are truly unmatched.

Happy #vyshyvankaday- please don’t forget what Ukraine is fighting for. 🇺🇦

If you wear a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt for Vyshyvanka Day (May 15), wear it with the knowledge that our family, friends, and loved ones died to make sure Ukrainian culture and defiance aren’t erased by terrorists and their enablers. Our embroidery is an act of resistance.

All I wish for #MothersDay  is for Ukrainian mothers to stop having to bury their children.

“Stories of women after their injuries”— the most beautiful Playboy issue there ever was, thank you, Libkos 🇺🇦

May the 4th be with Ukraine. You don’t have to be a Star Wars nerd to understand that we are almost literally enabling a Sith Lord to murder people because he’s drunk with power and fueled by hatred.

Христос Воскрес! 🇺🇦

Someone asked ChatGPT what future 'fame' will be based on what we've seen for 50 yrs. Two answers were: -Cultural preservationists and Translators -Multidisciplinary storytellers Ultimately, humans need connection. And the way to do that is to amplify each other's stories.

So incredibly honored to have worked on these translations with the frontlinepbs team. So glad people all over the world will see this documentary.

'Bread and circuses'. This phrase originates from the Roman poet Juvenal & refers to the idea of pacifying people with basic necessities such as food and entertainment, to distract from deeper issues. Stop getting distracted on here, and keep paying attention.

Ukraine lives two lives: one of hope and beauty, the other of death and destruction. Which side are you on? How are you standing with Ukraine?

Nothing makes me happier than people asking me to edit/write/publish/amplify Ukrainian stories. I get to make a living doing this. I get to tell the world about Ukrainians and their hopes and dreams, their history and culture. One day when I'm gone, that's what I leave behind. I'm so grateful.

Last night I wore my Babchya’s 65-year old handmade vyshyvanka and listened as Dakha Brakha sang versions of my favorite childhood songs. I hugged their manager, Іра, and I sobbed as I channeled my ancestors. I’m so proud that I speak the language of warriors.

Allyship is amplifying Ukrainian voices: When Russia invaded, Alisa Kovalenko enlisted to defend her country, leaving her husband & 5-year-old son behind, sending him letters. Her film, 'My Dear Théo' - premieres at the Copenhagen Film Fest-trailer below: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...?

You don’t have to be screaming about tankies all the time to be an ally for Ukraine. Activism can be just as powerful when it is gentle and beautiful.

I am here solely because of the women in my life who refused to be silent. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the loud and fearless Ukrainian women.

This Saturday is International Womens Day, so let's remember that Ukrainian women are nothing short of extraordinary. You keep trolling us because you're jealous that we're brave, beautiful, funny, and resilient. Spoiler alert: you can stay mad, hoes

Daryl Hannah walked onto the Oscars stage and shouted, "Slava Ukraine. The real badasses." YES THANK YOU MA'AM

Not only did @nbcsnl.bsky.social make a perfect mockery of that “meeting” in the White House, but they featured a tryzyb, front and center. Fucking legendary.

@theacademyusa.bsky.social is tomorrow night. The Ukrainian movie 'Porcelain War' has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature. If you have learned anything about Ukraine in these past few years, you should know that, above all else, Ukraine's legacy is creating art in the face of evil.

Whether a deal happens or not, Zelenskyy has shown the world what true humanity and leadership are. He is a man of the people, by the people, and for the people.

“From all Ukrainians” 🫶🏻

Three years. Three years of remaining hopeful in the face of terrorism. Don’t turn your back on Ukraine.

We all remember where we were when we saw the headlines 3 years ago; Ukrainians in Ukraine watched as their lives turned upside down in real-time. For Ukrainians worldwide, it was the ripping open of a generational wound that had only barely healed. Don't turn your back on us.

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

My cousin painted these. He, and the rest of my family, are currently in Ukraine, living through war. They’ve seen friends of theirs die. And yet, they still find time to create. Why? Because Ukraine = hope.

The Ukrainian film 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' won a BAFTA for Best Short Film. It's the true story of Ivan, a Ukrainian teenager volunteering at his father’s frontline field hospital, who’s forced to make a sacrifice to protect all those inside. Ivan was killed in January 2024.

Women don’t want flowers for Valentines Day, they want Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

I talk a big game about creating in times of despair, and I'll never stop making sure Ukrainians are heard. But on the upcoming 3rd anniversary of Russia's (2nd) invasion, I'm deeply & profoundly sad at how Ukraine has been kicked to the side again. I'm so very sad.

🇺🇦 Dans cet entretien que j'ai eu la chance de réaliser avec l'historien @timothysnyder.bsky.social à Kyiv, l'historien analyse les décisions de Washington envers l'Ukraine, la perspective d'un cessez-le-feu, et le rôle que l'Europe doit jouer pour assurer la survie de l'Ukraine. 👇 rfi.my/BOhU

Engagement for the people and things that matter right now is abysmal. No one seems to care. This is why we must keep going on the things we know make a difference, the things we care about. I just signed a contract to

Congratulations to the team for '2000 Meters to Andriivka'!! This is a fantastic accolade for all Ukrainians, to ensure that Ukrainian stories are being told. Keep Ukraine in the center of the lens. Don't look away. Victory is coming.

Finally deleted Twitter it was fun while it lasted before it went downhill. Can I get some help reaching people who might be unaware j deleted my twitter account

I had the honor of working on “2000 Meters to Andriivka” last year. Please take a second and listen to Mstyslav Chernov and how he describes his vision of Ukraine’s future.

1/ One of Ukraine's most prestigious universities, Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, is a jewel of Bukovyna. Its main building, housed in the former Residence of the Metropolitans of Bukovyna and Dalmatia, showcases stunning Byzantine, Gothic, and Romanesque architecture.
