Mykhailo Heraskevych reminded them what the Olympics were for. They chose dignity. The IOC chose cowardice. #RemembranceIsNotaViolation

Dignity is worth more than every gold medal. Vladyslav Heraskevych showed all of us that conscience and what is right matter more than comfort, medals, even the Olympics themselves. Proud.

The Verkhovna Rada voted to appeal to the IOC in support of Vladyslav Heraskevych and his right to honor victims of russian war at the Olympics. They formally defended the right to tell the truth about this war and to remember the dead, even on the world’s biggest sporting stage.

This is painfully accurate. A helmet with the faces of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia and the International Olympic Committee recoils like that’s the danger. Not war. Not the killers. Not “neutral” russians competing. Memory is what scares them. Because memory ruins the illusion.

many russians stayed quiet for 2–3 years, waited it out, and now think they can lift their heads again. no. silence didn’t absolve you. you’re still part of a genocidal war and still not ashamed enough.

Ukrainian luger Olena Smaga stood with Vladyslav Heraskevich. After her race, she raised her palm to the cameras: “Remembrance is not a violation!” When the International Olympic Committee bans memory, Ukrainians answer anyway.

And the result? The International Olympic Committee banned the helmet during official training and competitions — silencing memory instead of condemning murder. Here’s Vladyslav explaining it himself.

The International Olympic Committee is pressuring Ukraine because Vladyslav wore a helmet honoring athletes murdered by russia. He knows he may be sanctioned. He did it anyway. This is defiance. This is memory. #UkrainianView

Europe is still clinging to the fairytale of “good russians.” Still pretending it’s “putin’s war,” not russia’s. While russians kill Ukrainians, other russians compete as “neutral athletes” at the Olympics. That’s denial, cowardice, and moral rot. #UkrainianView

OMG. Ukraine just brought home Nazar Daletskyi, who was declared KIA more than 3 years ago. He went missing in 2022. His family was later told he was killed in Kupiansk on his birthday. But he was alive. In russian captivity. This is why every exchange matters.

Exchange ❤️‍🩹 Ukraine has returned 157 of our people. Soldiers and civilians. 4 Azov fighters among them. Most of them have been in russian captivity since 2022. This is the first exchange of the year and the best news today. Welcome home. 💙💛

1/ Yes, the new Epstein files are outrageous. But I’m sorry, the fake shock is exhausting. Deep down, everyone knew. You don’t accidentally build a pedo club with protection, money, and silence. That’s a system.

russians have already killed 13 people in Ternivka. A drone hunted down a bus carrying miners after their shift. They weren’t soldiers. They weren’t targets. They were workers going home. This is how russia wages war: murdering civilians on purpose. #RussianWarCrimes

Everyone is losing their mind over the latest Epstein files. And? If nothing happens, if no one is held accountable, it’s just outrage content on repeat. Noise. Endless fucking noise.

1/ On January 29, 1918, near the Kruty railway station, several hundred Ukrainian students and cadets bravely fought against the advancing Moscow-Bolshevik army. Though vastly outnumbered, their sacrifice delayed the enemy, allowing Ukraine to secure the Brest Peace Treaty.

Phoebe: rescue cat, hurricane survivor, zero tolerance for scrolling past. We need 98,500 UAH more to hit 300,000 UAH. That’s ~$2,303. Help close it. And, Yes, I will use all of my pets to ask you to help this fundraiser.

1/ I will never get used to their cruelty. In the Sumy region, the Klochkov family tried to escape russian occupation. Valeriy pulled his wife Valentyna on a sled for 7 km through the snow. A russian drone dropped explosives and tore her apart. #UkrainianView

Trump is making China and India stronger. He’s forcing Europe to grow up and diversify. Everyone is looking for new markets while Trump is busy slamming America’s doors shut. That’s how you downgrade a superpower into “just another country.”

Mango covered the last 2,760 UAH to close 200,000 UAH. She can live without toys. But you can help push this to 300,000 UAH. 🐾🇺🇦

Mango did the math. We’re 2,760 UAH / $65 away from 200,000 UAH. That’s like… one big bag of cat food or a couple of fancy toys.

A framed photo of trump and putin hanging inside the White House. A keepsake. People tell you who they are. Sometimes they hang it on the wall. Sometimes right above their family.

If you were waiting for a sign to donate — this is it. About $270 left to hit 200,000 UAH. Mango believes in you.

I think Zelenskyy and Carney gave the only speeches at Davos that sounded grounded in reality — clear, hard, no illusions. I just hope others actually heard them, instead of politely listening and moving on.

I was gone for TWO MINUTES, Moonpie. Wtf are you doing?

This illustration nails it. Before the invasion, putin didn’t sound unhinged, he sounded entitled. Certain that other people’s sovereignty was negotiable “for security.” Trump’s rhetoric on Greenland uses the same logic: inevitability, hierarchy, coercion without saying the quiet part out loud.

This. Agree 100%. There is no “peace plan” that excuses genocide and ignores reality. Oksana Zabuzhko is right and has been for years.

On January 13, 2015, russians destroyed the control tower of Donetsk Airport. Concrete collapsed. Our defenders did not. DAP was physically erased, but it became an eternal symbol of Ukrainian heroism and an unbreakable will to resist. Eternal glory to those who stayed forever.

Kryvyi Rih. An Iskander hits a residential building. A 77 y.o. woman was killed. 23 people wounded, 6 of them children. Unable to respond to the humiliation they took from the US and too cowardly to confront anyone who can hit back, russians do what they always do: terrorize civilians in Ukraine.

Бачу, серіал «Пітт» тут зайшов багатьом 👀 Спойлер: Ноа буде монархом мого параду 👑 Я, в принципі, можу спробувати попросити у нього автограф. Питання просте: що саме підписуємо і за який донат потім віддаємо?

City center of Chasiv Yar. Another Ukrainian city erased by russian “liberation.”

Happy New Year. Because of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, my parents are alive and safe. Today, I get to spend time with them. Next year will be worse. But together, standing with Ukraine and supporting each other, we can get through it.

Today’s meeting concluded with an agreement to… keep talking. Trump continues appeasing putin. Shocked? No. Support Ukraine’s defense forces.

“Ukraine is an artificial country,” putin told President Bush. Reality: Black — Ukrainian borders in 1919. Red — borders in 1991. The invasion was planned ideologically long before tanks crossed the border.

Merry Christmas 🎄✨ Wishing everyone warmth, peace and moments that feel like home. Thank you to the Ukrainian Defence Forces for keeping us all safe. 🇺🇦💙💛

From Jan 1, 2025, russia moves to open deportations of Ukrainians in occupied territories. The so-called “special regime” ends Dec 31. After that: take russian citizenship or a residence permit. No alternatives. This is a new, explicit phase of persecution and forced russification.

Calm water. Clear sky. Meanwhile in Ukraine, ground drones are saving lives under constant fire. If you can enjoy moments like this, please help those who don’t get to. Donate to support ground drones for Ukrainian defenders.

Clinton did something rare in U.S. politics: he admitted the Budapest Memorandum was a mistake. Now he’s telling DOJ to stop the insinuation games and release everything. Funny how “transparency” suddenly gets selective when it’s inconvenient.

btw, New Orleans communities are extremely protective of their neighbors. This city doesn’t love intimidation, outside forces or people messing with families who belong here.

Today my little Oleksandra (Lexie) turns another year older 💛💙 If you want to wish her a happy birthday, please donate $6 or any other amount for ground drones for Ukrainian defenders. Six bucks = one small gift that can help save lives. Thank you. 🇺🇦🫶

So this is what being a responsible NATO member looks like: you detect an unknown UAV near your airspace, scramble F-16s, and shoot it down before it becomes a problem. Remember when Turkey shot down russian jets for violating airspace? Same energy. Everyone else: grow some balls.

And again it’s this time of year when I have to hold back tears every time I hear Carol of the Bells. Everyone is in the Christmas spirit. And I’m thinking about how unbearably unfair it is that Ukraine has to endure a genocidal war while the world hums our melody as background noise.

A Christmas tree fell in Moscow. One fell in Mariupol in December 2021 too. People called it a bad sign. Now it’s Moscow turn to read the omens.

When russia and the US talk about turning Donbas into a “demilitarized zone,” I keep thinking about the Rhineland before WWII. A buffer on paper, enforced by no one, only buys time for the aggressor. Haven’t we already seen how this ends?

I’m turning 38 today. If you want to mark it, donate to ground robotic systems (GRS) for the 20th Brigade “Lyubart”, 1st Corps Azov. $3 or $8 or $38. Or whatever you can give. Leave a message with your donation and Yuliia will pass it on. 💙💛

Mango vs. Ginger: the meeting of legends 🦎🐱 While they sort out who’s in charge, let’s help the people who protect Ukraine. 💙💛 Donate to the fundraiser

Quite interesting that the person who thinks Crimea is “surrounded by ocean on all 4 sides” also believes an election will somehow change Ukrainians’ will to be free or stop fighting. Geography isn’t his strong suit, neither is understanding Ukraine.

Ambassador Melnyk turned to Samuel Beckett’s “Endgame”, a play about characters trapped in the same absurd, endless cycle. A perfect metaphor for the UN Security Council, where nothing changes while russia keeps killing. The script repeats, but Ukraine refuses to accept this “endgame.”
