My mornings start at about 0130 when we depart for our missions. It's getting very cold in the night. Real autumn comes very quick here, about 0 degrees C in the night. So good morning I guess!

The impact of Russian guided bombs is enormous. We deal with it every day, dozens of them. The shock wave is deadly, so that's why I always prefer to be under ground level. If it's not a direct hit, being underground will save your life.

Weather sucks now in Donetsk oblast, reading this new great book about occupation of Chornobyl Nuclear Plant. It's very underrated dangerous moment in the war in 2022. The author, Serhii Plokhy, sent this book for me to read. It's an honor!!!

Very informative article by @Textyorgua_Eng, I agree with this analysis - this is exactly what’s happening in Donetsk oblast. There is no longer a frontline, there is a front zone, and it’s huge. texty.org.ua/projects/11...

Kramatorsk is getting more dangerous these days, I started preemptively wearing body armor there. But most warfighters don't care :D

This is our 12 gauge shotgun we use against Russian FPV. We also use a lot of energy drinks, they are really helpful in keeping us awake to keep deleting russians.

Ukrainian infiltration team, @DI_Ukraine, Shaman group. Best of luck, brothers. You are very brave to face the enemy behind their lines. Utmost respect 🫡

I am so delighted to see how my book affects people all across the ocean, in New Zealand for example! “I feel so very empathetic towards Ukraine and connected to you…” It’s great to realize that something I wrote can influence people!

Good morning from Ukraine!

Fuck you russians

My role model tbh

Anyway right after London I came back to the warzone in Donetsk Oblast. There, apart from my drone pilot duties, I helped my friends lift their IFV to safety :) They wanted me to take a fancy picture of it. War lets you experience a lot of fun stuff!

What hair doing? Windy London makes sure my hair is bigger than Big Ben!

Ukrainian International Legion figtt by ers

This is possibly the biggest honor for Ukrainian writer - to have your own book in the hands of Timothy Snyder - great friend of Ukraine... Thank you Timothy, your historic perspective on freedom has influenced me a lot, and much of that is also reflected in my book. Freedom!

From Donetsk oblast to London. So surreal. I really enjoyed being out, even if for a very short time. Right after this trip, I came back and went for 10 day mission because of Russian assaults in the area. It was a good piece of work.

Would Pete Hegseth approve this little beard and haircut?

I just came back from London, representing Ukraine as frontline drone pilot. Spoke on the Unmanned Battlefield panel at the Ukraine Defense Innovation Forum by Borderlands Foundation, representing my unit - 413rd Unmanned Systems Battalion. Key points from my talk 🧵

My brothers-in-arms are paying tribute to my book by inscribing its title on an FPV drone that will defeat some russian invaders. I will get them some good coffee as a thank you ❤️‍🔥

Iconic, I should start rapping immediately

Found russian FPV couple days ago, removed the explosive, it has a few things broken off but we will rebuild it lol

Day 1316. Ukraine's Defender Day. The second one I have as actual Ukraine's Defender. It's surreal to have my friends and family thank me for defending them and say how much they miss me. I am in Donestk autumn forests, deleting russians here... Thoughts from battlefield🧵

Freedom. One word in a review captured the entire reason I wrote this book. I am happy to see people understanding the cost of freedom in Ukraine, especially through my book!

Ukrainian infiltration squad, @DI_Ukraine. You see someone? 👀

Great article in Ukrainian - from the biggest IT media resource in Ukraine - about my journey from IT to war fighting! dou.ua/lenta/inter... good read

Day 9 on positions, I should bring nail clipper next time Anyway good morning lovely people!!! I am getting my morning coffee and so should you!

I am so proud to be in steady best sellers for History of Ukraine eBooks! This is all done thanks to your reviews on Amazon honestly, they are great. I should start sharing the kind words there and how it impacted people. Good day!!!

Good Morning from Donetsk oblast, Ukraine 🌅🌅🌅

My meal yesterday night, all from ZSU 😱

Anyone got an update yet? Ukraine still exists? In my underground bunker we don’t have live TV, can’t read the news

Good morning from Ukraine everyone!!!

I enjoy a peaceful sunset at the battlefield. No enemy drones over our heads, just chill Autumn wind... This book is an artifact of history - written at the battlefield by active duty soldier, printed in Ukraine, aimed to make Ukrainian voice heard internationally!

I love the smell of burnt Russian oil refineries in the morning. Hell yeah

Me and my new friend, stray kitten I found in Donbas village 😻

Love helps us go through the toughest fires of life ❤️‍🔥

I just realized I am more than a year in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Wow. Time flies. That was an interesting year. I learned a lot. I now know I can work 24/7 for some time on energy drinks. I now know I can delete russians and laugh about it.

I FUCKING HATE MOUSES 🐁 They do not belong in the trenches, extradite them out of here

As I said, I am trying to sort out signing the books and shipping them inbetween my missions. I really try hard to get this artifact of history into your hands - written in the times of war by active duty soldier - about the realities of war. Straight from Ukraine!!!!!!!!! 🫡

I could not ever imagined that surströmming video will be such a hit!!! My brothers in arms in this video are thrilled to become YouTube stars! Thank you Sweden! We Ukrainian soldiers love you! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Please let me know if you ordered a signed copy and did not get any email about shipping details. I really try hard to make this all happen inbetween my missions. Thank you and enjoy!

2021 Italy / 2025 Donetsk oblast, Ukraine War changed me, from goofy curly-haired kid to a man with tired eyes, looking into a bright yet uncertain future.

A year ago in Pokrovsk 🥲 Peaceful and calm, we were making jokes about how we would defend this city in a couple of months. Turned out to be a much longer siege!

OMG I just hit 2000+ subscribers on YouTube!!! Thank you so much fellas! This is an inspiration to keep going! www.youtube.com/@LiberUkrai...

Ukrainian artillery art therapy. Life always finds a way! 💥

This is really important - @414magyarbirds jusy shot down the biggest Russian UAV ever - Orion! Wingspan 16m, 24 hours in the air, can carry KAB bombs, costs more than $5 millions… Well done, Birds! ⚔️

My brothers in arms from the Special Forces. Looking sharp fellas!!! 🇺🇦⚔️

My daily view. I love sun, I miss being outdoors. 🌞

This is what we work for. Weeks of recon missions to land one GOOD HIMARS HIT!!! GO USA SEND US MORE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“Anyone who supports Ukraine, should read this book. Truly inspirational!” - this review on Amazon for my book fills me with joy. Knowing my writing has inspired even one person is incredibly rewarding! This keeps me on writing and sharing with the world. Thank you!!!

This is my burnt down battery 🫠
