On June 15, a russian attack heavily damaged the roof of the Dormition Cathedral at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. The roof has now been conserved to protect it from further damage. I continue to follow the repair work. Photos: State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Kyiv

🥵 Europe is melting in a heat wave. russia is melting under drone strikes and sanctions. I don't really mind the latter. On the contrary. With @69thsb.bsky.social, we're funding a mobile command bus for a drone unit. Fund the pressure 👇

🌸 Somewhere in a village south of Belgium. A small bridge, a handful of flowers, a couple of flags. And among them: this one. Autocrats count on the silence of good people. Every quiet refusal, like this one, is an answer. Every flag matters. Every donation matters 👇

One more piece of Ukraine’s cultural heritage is gone. A historic estate in Zaporizhzhia region was destroyed by a russian drone attack. The Myklashevsky estate dated back to the 19th century. Photo: Suspilne Zaporizhzhia

Greetings from Kyiv. Day of Remembrance of the Victims of War in Ukraine today. I felt that the right place to be was here, at the flag memorial on Independence Square. Surrounded by the memory of those who fought for Ukraine.

Greetings from Kyiv. Grateful to everyone who joined today’s live walk at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. A video recap will be available for members on Patreon later. I’ll let you know.

Museum collections are hidden during the war. But museums keep arranging temporary exhibitions. Seen at the Poltava Art Museum: Iryna Bankovska. Drawings made with coffee.

Russians need to face reality. They started this war hoping that, far behind the frontline, they would be safe from it, but today the Moscow oil refinery is burning and nowhere is safe anymore 🔥

Three Republican wars in the Middle East. They went victory, stalemate, and total defeat.

🫂 We are not the same. Ukraine hits refineries and military plants. russia hits firefighters and cathedrals. Pick a side. Then pick your favourite charity. See link below for mine 🙏

Greetings from Kyiv. I woke up and hugged life. Five people were killed in the attack. Damage was reported. I’m determined to show Ukrainian culture and history. This is what russia fears and tries to destroy. Here is the Dormition Cathedral as I saw it undamaged: www.patreon.com/strategywoma...

russia bombed Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, setting one of the largest monasteries of Eastern Christianity on fire. Same crimes have been committed by the nazis and the soviets over 80 years ago. russia continues to adopt the customs of both. Help protect Ukraine: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

🔴 Russian strikes kill nine across Ukraine. Russian forces launched a massive combined attack across Ukraine on June 15, killing at least five rescue workers in Kharkiv and four civilians in Kyiv. The strikes damaged residential buildings and cultural landmarks.

This is a depressingly familiar tactic that people in former dictatorships know well - one of the first things an aspiring autocrat does is to try to undermine public trust in the electoral system. That way, when they steal an election, there is less chance of a reaction from the pubic.

Russia is not only waging war against people, but against memory, culture & identity. Against the places where a nation preserves its history and passes it on to future generations Today, a russian drone struck an art museum in Kharkiv Rescuers and the city’s mayor are working to save the exhibits

This is Kharkiv right now ‼️ Russian strike inflicts severe damage on Kharkiv Art Museum. First responders and the mayor are frantically saving priceless exhibits from the fire!

Graduates dance their prom waltz before a school damaged by fragments of a russian missile. This is a strong, brave, unbreakable generation. May peaceful days await them. Help protect Ukraine’s skies: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Russia has hit an art museum in Kharkiv. Mayor Ihor Terekhov was among those trying to save exhibits as works of art were hastily removed as the building smouldered following a drone strike. Officials say there were no injuries, but several people suffered acute stress reactions.

🫡 Huge thanks to all our fellas! Every donor, every share, every bit of support — you make a real difference No matter what, you keep standing with Ukraine 🇺🇦

🌟 Driving into Kyiv with a EU flag on the dashboard. 🇺🇦 wasn't attacked because it threatened russia. It was attacked because it chose 🇪🇺. Its people are defending something bigger than territory: the principle that borders can't be moved by force. That's worth supporting! See link below 👇

⚡️Russia has increased military buildup near NATO border, investigation reveals. Russia has expanded military infrastructure near its border with NATO members and is preparing for a potential war, a June 10 investigation by Danish public broadcaster DR and several counterparts revealed.

All its profit goes to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The idea is simple: coffee that serves the common good. The first Blagokava opened in Poltava in 2022. Now it is in Kyiv too, in the backyard of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery. I stopped by recently.

There is a Belgian Alley in the centre of Kyiv. Recently, a sculpture by Oleksii Stepanov, “Ukrainian Shield,” was installed there. Hands in the colours of the Ukrainian flag hold a Belgian house, a symbol of cosy Europe. The hands are pierced by real bullets from the front line.

🪖 Democracy stands because the Ukrainian infantry stands. Each #NAFO truck like this one saves ~25 to 50 lives. The Nachtigall Unmanned Systems Battalion is counting on us. Together with @69thsb.bsky.social, let's deliver that truck! Donate, boost & share 🙏 www.help99.co/patches/belg...

At the exhibition “New Military Landscape.” A field of flowers. A bright sky. A tank. The glitch breaks the illusion of a beautiful landscape. 🇺🇦 Igor Gusev, 2026

How could I not have seen that painting before? Powerful. 🇺🇦 Ivan-Valentyn Zadorozhnyi Let the Orchards Bloom, 1969–1970

Greetings from Kyiv 🇺🇦 covered in grey clouds today. Stand with me on Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). Do you feel it? Life.

I filmed this moment. For three days, to mark Kyiv Day, the fountain of Kyiv’s founders came back to life. Why only for three days? Because of security and energy-saving measures during the war.

I am part of this campaign; please join in; you can save lives.

My last stop for today. Chornobyl Museum. By destroying museums and galleries, russians try to destroy our culture and memory. We will rebuild.

He refused to paint Stalin, was stripped of his pension and privileges by the Soviet regime, and died in poverty and hunger. It’s his birthday today. 🇺🇦 Fedir Krychevsky (1879–1947) Girl’s Head in a Shawl, 1907

Today, on Vyshyvanka Day, I’ll be wearing a legacy from my two grandmothers: a vyshyvanka (embroidered shirt) from one, and a kraika (woven belt) from the other. I hope they will smile from the heavens ❤️

It is one of my favorite halls of Kyiv Picture Gallery. The gallery is housed in the former mansion of Fedir Tereshchenko (1832–1894), a Ukrainian industrialist and art collector. I visited it today to see a new exhibition. Ukraine hides so many treasures.

Russia’s public threats against our Baltic States are completely unacceptable. Let there be no doubt. A threat against one Member State is a threat against our entire Union.

Europe stands united against threats on its borders. Our full solidarity goes to people in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia & Eastern flank, facing danger from hostile drone activity linked to Russia & Belarus. In such moments, Europe must continue to invest in security for stability, freedom & peace.

It's time to give something back, by sharing a piece of music. This is the beautiful masterpiece of our most beloved composer here in Estonia. Hope it brings you some peace.

What an interesting painting. I looked through many of his portraits, but this one hit hard. 🇺🇦 Ilia Ripyn The Fisher Girl, 1874 You may know him as Ilia Repin, but he was born in Ukraine. I’ll tell you more soon.

Waldemar Haffkine. Born in Odesa 🇺🇦 Developed vaccines against cholera and plague. Tested them on himself. His story deserves to be known: www.patreon.com/posts/158410...

For over a day, rescuers worked at the site of russia’s strike on a residential building in Kyiv. russia killed 24 people, including 3 children. Today, Kyiv is observing a Day of Mourning for the victims of this heinous crime. Let’s honor their memory🕯️

Life is fragile. Especially here. So I want to use every day of it to tell you more about Ukraine. No added music today. Just ink, brush, and paper. 🇺🇦 Andrii Chebykin (b. 1946)

The number of victims has risen to 4. 10 people are still missing under the rubble. Dozens of people were injured, including a newborn. russia hit this residential building on purpose — to murder civilians. 🎥The State Emergency Service of Ukraine

Ukrainian defenders send greetings to NAFO.
