My dad, who was last seen alive 23 years ago today, once wrote: "Keeping holding on, I believe we will build the country we deserve.โ€œ He would be really proud of all Ukrainians today who are doing just that. Thank you to everyone who keeps his legacy alive.

Ukrainian journalist and founder of @ukrpravda_news Georgiy Gongadze was kidnapped and murdered in 2000 near Kyiv. High officials of President Kuchma killed him because of his brave fight for freedom of speech. His death changed the future of the whole country.

People wonder why El*n and his ilk are so ambivalent about Ukraine and open to Russia. My 2 cents: they see most reasonable people being pro Ukraine, and because they think theyโ€™re too smart to go with the crowd, they inherently gravitate towards the other side

Just awful. This line is also a train wreck - the "Ukraine has always been Russia" thing not an "assertion disputed by many Ukrainians," it is a ahistorical justification for genocide. Ukraine's historical claim to its existence is not up for debate

Kuchma was caught on tape conspiring with his cronies about how to get rid of my dad, an independent journalist who called out his corruption. The 1st plan was to kidnap him & give him to the Chechens, eventually he was kidnapped and murdered. Curious as to why this was left out.

My grandmother's town in Ukraine has a facebook page which I follow & lately it's just been an unending series of military funeral announcements. This is a town in the far western part of the country, which has never been physically hit - but the community still bears the weight

I appreciate them demonstrating the chilling level of indoctrination about the war by getting people on the record as openly believing the war is justified and right, and quoting those who see it as futile, but you have to do better than this @VALERIEinNYT @antontroian

Wow, this sucks. I get that it's getting increasingly redundant to have a physical paper but I always loved the Express as a bite size bit of news to consume on a transit trip, and a break from my phone. Their delivery people were often a nice smile to see first thing in the day.

Seeing a lot of people on this website right now very confidently saying that the correct way to say Kyiv is KEEV. I'm from Ukraine, was born in Kyiv to Ukrainian speakers & speak the language myself. I pronounce it KIY-YEEV. Not KEEV or KEY-EV.

@olgatokariuk @TIME Haven't read the article, but do Ukrainians know that TIME isn't really that influential or credible of an outlet anymore? They have a long history but these days aren't taken nearly as seriously as they once were which is a cause/effect of the lower quality journalism produced
