Today 1315 days since the full scale invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine still isn't russia and never will be💙💛

Autumn brings Attacks on infrastructure Designed to demoralise And kill civilians And what do we do Watch! Houses burn Families shattered And we say How terrible How awful How bad And now some people Don't even watch! 💙💛 📷 Reuters

Hands of horse chestnuts Dropping Waving Curling To the ground Thump! Conkers fall This could be anywhere But this is Kyiv Trees living life. As powerful as war is It doesn't stop  The turn of the earth It doesn't stop the seasons Or the desire for life 💙💛 📷 @strategywoman

1300 days since the start of the full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia ...Ukraine continues to be stronger than you think ... Slava Ukraini 💙💛

Ukraine still battles day and night with its aggressive neighbour... remember russia started the full scale invasion 1295 days ago

You fall asleep Drifting drifting drifting Dreaming The war is resolved The skies are clear Peace is restored The alarm screams Reality returns Missiles and bombs And drones Test the air defences Destruction moments away 💙💛 📷 Sstenemes/Instagram

Coalition of the willing can only help when russia stops....not holding my breath💙💛

Faceless mechanised spiders Developed with a terrible bite Designed to chase Designed to bomb Ukraine is fighting back With spiders of their own Not dropping bombs But instead dropping nets To catch drones in their web

Putin goes to China Trump says and does nothing Meanwhile in Ukraine Russia pushes at the frontline In Kherson  First person view drones Practice killing civilians Elsewhere Missiles still fall The war rages on As strong as ever 💙💛

@pinkrosenz.bsky.social Hi Karen I hope you are doing ok just been watching Marion margoles in New Zealand and thought of you...I spend barely any time in X now and not enough time here. Hope you are doing ok x🫂❤️

So many numbers Flash across our screens But behind each number Are homes destroyed Families broken Lives lost Peace still no closer 💙💛

1/2 Every sinew Wants peace Every person Wants the war to end But everyone agrees  Not at any cost Everyone is tired Weary of air raids Weary of drones Weary of loss Time for it to stop But not at any cost

A week of words Bilaterals talks Pursuing peace Summits Negotiations  Peace deals Territorial terms Red lines Coalition of the Willing Security guarantees  Air support Trilaterals talks Each full of meaning Hanging in the breeze Waiting to be caught 💙💛

The dust settles Putin leaves full of pride Trump has folded The puppet master  Pulled his strings And a ceasefire is off the table Putin plans his moves With strategy and care Trump TACO's Once again 💙💛

Today day 1269 we wait to see if the card dealer and the chess master can actually do anything meaningful for Ukraine...I am not holding my breath💙💛

Once more we wait Trump once more seduced By his puppet master We wait Hoping for the best But knowing the reality Putin is just playing for time His desire to steal Ukraine Undiminished Once more Trump is blind To the reality Staring him in the face 💙💛

Next week The Card Dealer Plans to meet The Chess Master The Card Dealer wants The Chess Master to stick But the Chess Master Is playing a different game He wants to take the board He won't be content With a stalemate 💙💛

1260 days Of the 3 day war Tired and fatigued But the fight goes on No chance that Ukraine  Will stop Russia could withdraw  And the fighting would stop But no chance of that  The fight goes on  💙💛

In their golden glory Heads turn towards the sun Fields of sunflowers Wave to the world We are here And we will grow Each flower Each seed signals Resilience and resistance Part of the heart beat  Of Ukraine  💙💛 📷 Petrol Pokydko/Getty images

See in my face Defiance Mykhailo my son My proud lion Fought for our land I cradle a didukh The wheat sheaf A symbol of sacrifice & the circle of life He is now part of our land 📷 @strategywoman  Blooming Resilience exhibition in Kyiv pictures of woman who have lost husbands & sons to this War

Trump gives Putin 10 days But Putin is no longer playing His special military operation continues Totally undeterred by Trumps empty threats

1/2 Blue Cobalt The colour of sky Burnt sienna The colour of earth Brushes swapped for guns Called to defend And give all Until raw umber  Turns to red Lost to this world But no artist is forgotten On holy ground A red viburnum grows A living reminder of their sacrifice 💙💛

I look And see nothing I listen And hear nothing I can't taste or smell or feel I am thousands of miles away I know Soldiers still fight Drones still fly Air defence protects Cities are damaged And people due In this void On day 1249 Don't forget Ukraine 💙💛

Enveloped in a red glow Light enough for us But not enough for them The night stretches around us Gazing through the inky blue Our eyes ignore The arc of celestial stars We wait For the incoming attacks We keep watch so others can rest 💙💛 📷 @defenceu.bsky.social

Many people have expressed horror and disbelief at Russia's attacks on Kyiv's metro stations with civilians sheltering inside. Horror, I understand. Disbelief, perplexes me. Russia has shown the world for years that they have absolutely no lows on its savagery and barbarism. 1/5

Russia struck civilian areas in Ukraine overnight. Odesa was hit by drones—cars burned, residential buildings, homes, and a store were damaged. One person injured. In Sumy, airstrikes caused massive fires, destroying homes, a shopping center, and 18 vehicles. Three people wounded, including a child

Ukraine has been attacked by russia's attempt to invade for 1245 days....and russia thought it would be over in 3 days. Slava Ukraini 💙💛

Rebuilt Restored Revived Created in Mariupol Destroyed by the invaders New mosaic pieces recreate Boryvite Rises like a phoenix Piece by piece You bring to the world The spirit of Ukraine And how Ukraine will be Rebuilt Restored Revived 📷 Boryviter is touring This is in Trafalgar Square London 🇬🇧

The golden fields Under an azure sky The colours of the flag Russia targets Not just cities But also these fields of gold Blackened and burnt Firefighters stop the carnage Each ear of corn needed To feed Ukraine To feed the world And to support Ukraine's economy 📷State Emergency Services of Ukraine

1/2 As darkness falls The nightly cacophony begins The wail of the air raid siren The sinister humming of the drones The loud crackling of the air defences  The screams of the missiles The crash of debris falling from the sky The rumble of an apartment block as it crumbles

In golden light and long days It's easy to forget  The bleak nights blighted by Russia's reckless relentless attacks This terrible theme Runs through Summer Autumn Winter and Spring too Oh how we long for this War to end  #DailyPrompt #loveletters

Trump and Putin have another chat The result Kyiv is hit with a massive bombardment Did Vlad give you your next instructions? 💙💛

Held on high A deep blue orb Enveloped by doves of peace A globe in independence square Ukraine is Protecting the world In this moment of calm Overhead the storm clouds gather Reminiscent of the continuing war 💙💛 📷 @strategywoman

This is how many days Putin's 3 day war has been going on .... Slava Ukraini

1/2 After the long alarm filled nights Dnipro beckons Away from the glittering towers Away from the busy streets of Kyiv The river bank Dressed in a soft green robe Waves in the breeze

2/2 My dear friends in Ukraine Live life every day Lunch with friends Cuddles with family Visits to galleries Colour fills your eyes Green parks Chestnut trees Coffee and cakes relished

1/2 The air is full of sorrow Another apartment bombed Another train hit Another family shattered This happens somewhere In Ukraine Every single day

1/3 For refuge week Now we are safe In a home far away I am grateful and sad For the life I once had No bomb blasts Or missiles No drones that attack We are safe But displaced I am grateful and sad

I have supported #Ukraine every one of these 1,212 days.
