I want you to fall in love with Ukraine so much, that after the war is over, all your vacation plans would be to Ukraine. We will need you to support local businesses, to help rebuild ruined cities, to absorb our rich Ukrainian culture.

I invite you to see a unique exhibition at Kyiv Railway Station. VICHNI (eternal) UA – dedicated to the Slavic gods. It was created by Iryna ISky and her husband, both serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2022.

I just love taking photos of Kyiv. Beautiful Kyiv may not interest your media, but it always delights my eyes.

Kherson - Antonivka: the Road of Death. 200 km/hour to avoid drones. Dystopian landscape. Yet, people still live here. Their stories are forthcoming. Some “liberation”: see for yourself.

In other words, the coalition of the willing is unwilling to help until Ukraine doesn't need its help. Surely at some point someone has to realise that this approach just incentivises Putin to keep the war going?

Friends, this: "If he & his brothers on the zero line are not giving up, we won’t either." We can all help. Will you? ⬇️

Kontraktova Square in Kyiv is being reborn through TORV, the world’s largest pop-up urban space, turning neglected asphalt into a vibrant place for people, community, and resilience. Yes, during the war! Ukraine is a great example to follow.

And now about the war. As of August 25, due to russian war in Ukraine, 1,553 cultural heritage sites and 2,388 cultural infrastructure facilities have been destroyed or damaged. – Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine

Friends, if you are in Paris on Wednesday, come to the screening of my film on the eve of Zelenskyy--Trump talks. Important. I will be available for Q&A, via Zoom. I'm in Kherson and reporting on the devastating attack 24/7. Behind on posting on this platform; it requires different video settings.

🕊️ Day of Remembrance Today, Ukraine honors its fallen defenders. Each flag, each photo is a life given for freedom. Their sacrifice demands we protect the living. Help us send a #NAFO 🛻 with @69thsb.bsky.social to the defenders, so fewer families add photos here. 🙏 Donation below 👇

💔 I woke up to another missile strike. Civilians. The preferred target of russia’s deranged mind. Last week I stood at another site. This was once a home! Bedrooms, dreams, lives... shattered. Every 🛻 we send to the defenders helps protect families from this fate. 🙏 Link 👇

⚡️Russia plans withdrawal from European Convention preventing torture. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on Aug. 25 signed a resolution calling for Moscow to withdraw from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture.

If we are silenced, who will tell our story? daryazorka.substack.com/p/dont-let-r...

I didn’t know Catacomb Christian art (2nd–4th c) comes from underground burial sites outside ancient Rome. Made during persecution, it used symbols to speak of faith, salvation, hope. I study it in Ukrainian art course, as Kyivan Rus absorbed much from Byzantium, which stood on Roman foundations

A Ukrainian serviceman Moisei Bondarenko played The Hanging Tree on violin—the melody from The Hunger Games. It became a call for freedom. Our defenders on the frontline find time to play music, sing, and create art. This is part of what they're fighting for: culture, art, and freedom of expression.

Czech skeptics who thought the war was a media conspiracy have been brought to Kharkiv. A documentary film project, initiated by director Robin Kvapil, brought three Czech individuals to Kharkiv, Ukraine, who had previously believed the war was merely a media fabrication.

Russian Shaheds now carry napalm and break through Ukrainian electronic warfare systems, said Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, a military expert Moscow continues to upgrade its Shahed attack drones, enhancing their warheads, engines, and EW protection euromaidanpress.com/2025/07/18/r...

⚡️ Update: Zelensky unveils new cabinet nominees in major government reshuffle. President Volodymyr Zelensky has unveiled a new slate of cabinet nominees as part of a sweeping government shake-up that replaced the prime minister and dissolved the entire cabinet.

Dear Yara @strategywoman.bsky.social & #warcoffee, these wonderful pictures of the "Altar of Ukraine" are from the Basilica of St Thérèse in Lisieux, France. As you can see, #Ukraine is very much in our hearts, and in Europe too! Courtesy @einnautilus.bsky.social - thank you for sharing! 💙💛

In the Middle Ages, today’s Ternopil Oblast was a borderland between Poland, Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire, and the Crimean Khanate. Because of constant raids, the local nobility built castles. The best-preserved: Zbarazh Castle (1626–1631). More soon. I hope you’re subscribed to my letters.

⚡️Ukraine destroys Russian drone unit after Kherson infant killed, child 'should never have been a target,' governor says. Ukrainian soldiers destroyed a crew of Russian drone operators with FPV drones, those directly involved in the fatal attack on a one-year-old child in Kherson Oblast on July 9.

Signs are there will be another massive air raid by fascist Russia on democratic Ukraine tonight. Many Shahed attack drones already over the country, and repeat launches from launch sites reported. Telegram monitors warn to expect 500+ drones, cruise missiles, and ballistics.

👥 One embrace, a thousand emotions. The news is grim. Despair is easy. But giving up is a luxury 🇺🇦's defenders can’t afford. They’re still fighting, so I’ll keep showing up. It’s time our leaders did the same. Less posing & more action. #CloseTheSkyOverUkraine now!
