"behind every drone stands a human. an hour before the war, they were neighbours, siblings, friends." Ukrainians take what the empire sends against them and rebuild it into something that guards. not a poetic metaphor. operational logic of Ukrainian anti-colonial resistance.

Since the start of the full-scale russian invasion, most Ukrainians lived through all imaginable burnout stages - and then invented some more. Yet it hasn't derailed their resistance. Why? We asked @boochelnikova.bsky.social creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

If four years ago the main call by Ukrainians was about solidarity and empathy, today it is often about learning from Ukrainians as much as possible to survive what is coming for the rest of the free world. Learn more: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

🔴 12 years ago russia invaded 🇺🇦 🔴 12 years ago russia upended the post WWII order 🔴 12 years ago russia began committing heinous crimes in 🇺🇦 🔵 12 years of the Free World failing to stop russia; failing to call the moscow centered terrorist organization by its name

In our season finale, @boochelnikova.bsky.social speaks candidly about Ukrainian exhaustion, about saying less with more impact, and about accepting that some changes brought by war are irreversible creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

In our season finale, @boochelnikova.bsky.social helps @valvoshchevska.bsky.social and @maksymeristavi.com to reflect on extreme resistance burnout many Ukrainians face, accepting our human limits in the face of existential threat, and learning how to live alongside genocide without normalising it

one of the key acts of anti-imperial resistance is to regain control of your own story. become confident in telling everyone else who you are, where you come from, and what values you stand by. Romani Ukrainians are a daily testament to that. learn more: maksymeristavi.substack.com/p/rc101-disp...

“Acceptance is learning how to live, even when grief never leaves.” Acceptance is a major theme for our season five finale, featuring a Ukrainian producer, journalist, and civil society advocate @boochelnikova.bsky.social creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Today Vlad Heraskevych has reminded the world what the authentic Olympic values are all about. They start with the promotion of peace, respect to human dignity and not with banning remembrance. Listen and learn from the legend, unfiltered and uncensored: open.spotify.com/episode/0vrj...

In interview with us, Vlad Heraskevych explains in very simple terms how the authentic Olympian values and Ukrainian dignity actually go hand in hand open.spotify.com/episode/0vrj...

There’s no coincidence between Ukrainian lives and their struggle for basic human dignity becoming ‘political propaganda’ on international sports arenas and the depth of corruption there fuelled by tyrannies like russia. open.spotify.com/episode/0vrj...

For years, Heraskevych has been calling out double standards and moral bankruptcy of many international sports institutions, passionately defending authentic Olympian values open.spotify.com/episode/0vrj...

Today we want to reshare our 2022 interview with Vlad Heraskevych, that will help you to understand the man behind global headlines and where his iron moral core comes from open.spotify.com/episode/0vrj...

This Ukrainian athlete did more today for the authentic Olympian values than anyone else. You might hear about Vlad Heraskevych for the first time from today’s global headlines, but he has a lifetime of standing up for dignity and fairness in international sports

Премія миру, рада миру, формула миру. Єдина гарантія миру - це сили і засоби. Мир без сили - це лише пауза перед новою війною. Державу не випрошують - її захищають.

Dignity and values. This is what is declining in the Olympic Committee and the Western world. We are witnessing a complete collapse of morals and ethics - this is russia's goal.

i asked a celebrated Ukrainian publisher, Oleksandr Savchuk, to explain you why the Ukrainian book is and has always an act of anti-colonial resistance. Plus: why reading Ukrainian books is one of the best ways to support Ukraine maksymeristavi.substack.com/p/rc101-book...

A Ukrainian journalist @olekshyn.bsky.social joins @maksymeristavi.com and @valvoshchevska.bsky.social for the first episode of our new season in collab with @pravda.ua to reflect on the early days of the war in Ukraine and how fear has transformed into action, resistance, and new purpose

russian occupation is never peace. @maksymeristavi.com creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

And large parts of Kyiv are still without heating and electricity while it's going to be almost -30 degrees in the coming days. While Russians are again sending drones. It's crazy that this is not *the* headline news.

russian peace on full display.

⚡️ Ukraine is bleeding Russia faster than Moscow can replace its troops. In spring 2025, the Congressional Research Service estimated Russia recruits about 30,000 soldiers a month, while data from Ukraine’s General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine show 30,000–40,000 Russian casualties monthly.

There is no reporting because we don't understand Russian imperialism. Consequentially, Europe's central power is failing to provide the necessary leadership to coordinate a military response to counter Russia. There is an unbelievable lack of preparedness for war despite already being in one.

why is this not wall-to-wall coverage around Europe? if not out of empathy, then of simple survival instinct: do we think any EU cities are remotely ready for anything like this, too? instead i am bombarded with 24/7 headlines from Americas that have zero impact on our European lives

🔴 Residential building hit as Russian strike kills 4 in Kyiv

Half of Kyiv — almost six thousand high-rise homes — were left without heating in Kyiv after the russian massive attack. It's minus 8 degrees Celsius now going down to minus 17 tomorrow night (!) Could you imagine half of your city getting frozen by the terrorist state?
