@elonmusk @KanekoaTheGreat Hey Elon, some politics 101 for you. Coup happens when military take power using force. In Ukraine, unarmed people were killed by law enforcement on Yanukovych's order. He committed a crime, a treason, and he fled. The power was taken over by an interim government elected by Rada

He is a voice of his generation, voice of the Donbas, of Kharkiv, of Ukrainians at war. Novels Wild Fields, Internat, his poetry, his band "Zhadan I Sobaky", his daily Facebook posts are essential parts of Ukraine's cultural fabric.

@carlbildt @KatyaYushchenko Typical genocidal discourse. Shocking from a government official. Simply illustrative of russia has veen doing since February 2022. They just don't want for Ukraine to exist. All other explanations is gaslighting.

The most important symbolic achievement of the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk oblast so far, has been the demonstration that the emperor has no clothes. Putin is so fixes on destroying Ukraine that he can not care less about protecting his own people. We see it again and again

The scale of devastation in #Lviv appears to be much larger than reported initially. Early morning russian strike, or strikes, damaged as many as 50 buildings in the city's historical centre. A 14-year old girl is one of the two civilians found dead. 35 more people, including

Massive fire in #Lviv 's historical centre in the early morning hours of September 4. Two buildings damaged and six civilians have been injured in the course of russia's combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine. More barbarity, sadness, and destruction courtesy of russia.

It is another massive attack on Ukraine with at least three waves of missiles from several directions. S-300s have already struck Kharkiv, explosions are heard in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. A group of missiles is moving west to Lviv oblast.

Dah! So NOW (!) out of all times is THE TIME to fix the US border! Because there was no time before and there will be no time after! Let's make Ukraine hostage to the issue that the Congress was incapable of addressing as adults for ages NOW, when Ukraine's funding has run out.

Watching #Bakhmut burn is particularly painful to Ukrainian psyche. It's the oldest Ukrainian cossack city-fortress in the #Donbas and the region's main urban centre until 1930s, the most pro- #Ukraine city in the Donbas during the 1917-1921 Ukrainian War of Independence.

This is getting exhausting. The confrontation has been going on since 2014, and somehow Ukraine is the only one facing it and is not afraid of it. They have to come up with a better excuse. This is pathetic.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has prevented the transfer of Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine because he fears it will lead to a confrontation with Russia, according to the Wall Street Journal.

@Rickpinajr Check out a russian city the size of Bakhmut and how many houses there have toilets. You live in a make-believe world. Watch the Intercepted where the "regular russian soldiers" are on shock over the clearly higher living standards of the not so rich Ukrainian towns and villages.

My bank customer support rep named Connor, non-Ukrainian, when I mentioned that I'll be travelling to Ukraine, asked me if I was originally from there. When I said yes, he responded "Slava Ukraini!" That was unexpected and truly cheered me up. Good to know that people care.

9 years ago, on February 18, 2014, the #Maidan protestors in #Kyiv walked to Verkhovna Rada to demand the abolition of the dictatorship laws of January 16, that were banning peaceful protest. Riot police and hired thugs attacked the march, killing and wounding dozens of people.

@MLallai Dehumanization, little value attached to a human life seems to be one of the defining features of the russian culture. Their obsession with greatness clouds any moral judgement. I don't think Ukrainians value greatness. They want live well, let live and be left alone.

"I believe that today, there are no writers or not writers, musicians, or not musicians, - there are only citizens of Ukraine who feel responsible for their country and citizens trying to avoid this responsibility in one way or another," says Zhadan explaining his decision.
