Easily the most psychotic vatnik myth yet, I do have to say

I decided to start a new wholesome Substack about Ukraine and small actions that could help support it. It's called The Incremental Change Club, and everyone who cares about Ukraine is invited ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/anastasi...

Interpreting complex FTIR spectra always feels like a bit of a stretch

The kind of comments you get from Russians after showing their country attacking your home

So apparently Russian soldiers are now living in my maternal grandma’s house. The one that belongs to me, where I spent my childhood. They cut down all the trees. The green apple I liked to climb and read books at, cherry trees, the two apricots, walnut trees, pear trees, plum tree, everything

Masha dreamed of dancing the waltz at her graduation. She and her classmates had practiced it for months. On May 14, a Russіan mіssile struck her apartment building. Masha, her father, and her grandmother were kіІІеd. 1/2

Hello everyone! Guess what? We reached 102% of the goal sum! You helped secure the rehabilitation of two Ukrainian defenders! And here are the winners of the raffle Item 1: @eddedk.bsky.social Item 2: @spanimation.bsky.social Item 3: @ Cnithster (Twitter) Thank you so much for supporting Ukraine!

Many are still uncomfortable donating to the UA military, sticking to humanitarian causes. But if the humanitarian support isn’t backed by the robust military aid that can tackle the root cause of the problem (Russian aggression), it will never be enough because Russia will keep destroying it all

This probably explains the crackdown on the shadow fleet more than simple sanctions busting

Not acting against fascist Russia's shadow tanker fleet hasn't only prolonged the Kremlin's war on Ukraine, it poses a wider risk to European security as a whole.

The Edinburgh International Book Festival, true to form, schedules a talk about "Russians at War" on Ukrainian independence day... Is there nobody involved in the planning of these events who knows something? Also: is the book - irrespectively of the date of the presentation - really appropriate?

Hi everyone, if you could share the quoted post, that would be a great help. We are really close to the completion of this fundraiser, it just needs an extra boost

The “Get Up” project is a continuation of similar projects from YourFuture fund that already helped with rehabilitation of dozens of 🇺🇦 defenders. For less than $1k you can help to significantly improve the quality of life of one person. Completing this part of fundraiser will support two people

You absolutely should be ashamed of spending any significant amount of time on learning about and promoting Russian culture while Russia is actively erasing Ukrainian one and has no remorse of destroying numerous others. Yes, it is a zero sum game. Attention is a finite resource

Hello! There are 15% left of a goal sum to fundraise, and I thought I’d remind you the kind of items from Ukraine that you could win in a raffle if you donate. More description in the thread below. Please, share the message so we can complete this fundraiser. Thank you for your support!

if we can ask westerners to read less pushkin and more shevchenko, we run the extremely dangerous risk of undermining Western European-North American cultural hegemony too, which is built on a similar tendency to pretend that nothing interesting comes from medium- or small-sized countries

i think where a lot of western anxiety about 'are we cancelling dostotolstoshostakovsky now????' during the russo-ukrainian war comes from is that at core they hate that eastern europeans want space made for our literature and art and music as that would mean vacating space themselves

A quick update on the fundraiser: your reposts and donations helped to reach 80% of the goal sum! 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ ~$390 remains to collect for full rehabilitation of two Ukrainian defenders. Would appreciate if you could repost the information so more people can see it. Thank you again for your support!

The “gas station of the world” is now buying fuel from Kazakhstan, Belarus, India and China.🤡

It's great to see more Ukrainian books translated into English! Here is one from Artur Dron', a Ukrainian writer and a veteran. His book Hemingway Knows Nothing. The book is available for pre-order from Jantar's website.

Heatwave means you don’t have to take your gloves off in the lab to wipe your tears because they’ll quickly dry out on their own 🥳

Russia attacked my city, Poltava, literally an hour ago. Ballistic missiles to destroy a small energy facility. Another example that Russia is not interested in ending this war. #UkrainianView

“Excuse me, ma’am, do you mind putting me back on that juicy tomato leaf?”

Being a Ukrainian and a chemist means getting comments like this to the photo below

Recently, I walked past the linden tree, it was a warm evening, and this sweet blossom smell always brings the memories. It reminds me how in my mum’s hometown near Donetsk we’d harvest it for tea. I stood under the tree for a bit, picked a few flowers and made myself tea that evening. It was nice

It’s my birthday today, and as always my birthday wish is the victory for Ukraine. Please keep supporting Ukrainian army 💙💛 I’d also appreciate if you could boost the fundraiser in the quoted post, so more people can see it and donate if they can. There are also some presenters you can win there 😊

The self-proclaimed “defenders of Christianity”, Russians just hit Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of Ukraine’s most revered Orthodox pilgrimage destinations and a UNESCO site

Item 3 for the raffle: the steel pendant inspired by the emblem of Sviatoslav the Brave, the bident, a relative of the Ukrainian coat of arms, the trident. You might've also seen this symbol as a part of the insignia of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces

The 2nd book for the raffle is the "Village to Modern", prepared along the 2025 exhibition at the Ukrainian Museum in New York. Here, you can see how Ukrainian modernists were inspired by the Ukrainian traditional craft. A video of a quick page through is in the post below

🦅 We're launching a $80,000 fundraiser to equip the 25th Airborne Brigade “Sicheslav” with the critical tech they need on the front. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 dzygaspaw.com/25th-strike...

Does anyone know of any medium-sized grants that are open for application that I can apply for for data collection for a paper broadly on preferences, conflict, and political economy #EconSky #AcademSky

I know Easter was a while ago already, but I thought I’d share these photos of the painting eggs process with you from this April

Item number one of this fundraiser raffle, “The Beast of War” book cataloguing the exhibition on Ukrainian naïve art presented a while ago in Switzerland. The book is in Ukrainian, English and German, and you can discover a variety of Ukrainian folk artists. Below is a quick flip through pages video

I’d really appreciate if you could share this post. Your Future foundation is doing a great job in what I believe is an overlooked area of supporting Ukraine: improving the quality of life of our defenders after the injuries. You can check out their projects here: yourfuture.in.ua/military-pro...

Hello all! It’s time for a new fundraiser! I’m joining the YourFuture foundation helping with the rehabilitation of our defenders. Could we try and support the recovery for two people, worth ~$1900? And of course I have a raffle for you 😌 To donate: send.monobank.ua/jar/9BgDtUnNUt More details⬇️

@nastasiaklimash.bsky.social posts made me curious, so I just looked up the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Folkways of Ukraine in Pyrohiv online. Wow! It’s huge and was founded over half a century ago by Petro Tymofiiovych Tronko. 1/5 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

The level of hypocrisy is hard to comprehend. Russia continues to kіІI Ukrainians every day, but instead of holding the аggressor accountable, some choose to pressure and punіsh those who are defending their lives and their country. History will remember this hypocrisу.

Here are some photos I took in Pyrohiv open air museum in Kyiv this spring. Still can’t wrap my head around just how much work it required to put it all together. When the building is transported to the museum, it’s disassembled, every element is labelled and then put back together in the new place

Does anyone know what’s happening?🤔

Just your regular reminder that Russia is attacking everything and everyone in Ukraine

Stop messing with us 😭

Thank for the reminder, google

Three terrorist acts in the past two days in Ukraine: Lviv yesterday, Mykolaiv and Dnipro today. It’s not enough for Russians to terrorise Ukraine from outside, they’ve also been trying to recruit people within promising easy money, but I think it’s the first time it’s been this coordinated

The 56th Brigade needs a night vision device (€2725). Let’s go👉👈 send.monobank.ua/jar/92w1xc2fNJ PayPal [email protected] P.S. We found a nice one with a huge discount, it saves €400, but we already reserved it and need to pay for it ASAP😅

Do you think they’d ban someone honouring people died in a natural disaster or an accident or because of an illness? I doubt it. Meanwhile, Russia can kill you and be sure institutions like that will look away coz Russia made your death “political” and “we don’t talk politics here. It’s a bad taste”

I took two top pictures in Dnipro in December 2022 during the massive blackout after Russian strike on our energy infrastructure. The two bottom photos are taken in Dnipro in January 2026 after Russian strike on our energy infrastructure. Nearly four years of Russian full-scale terror on Ukraine
