Russia is committing genocide by destroying Ukrainian energy system. They aim to leave millions of Ukrainians & the economy without power.
On this map you can see targets of their recent attacks, these are:
- thermal power plants
- hydropower plants
- gas storage facility
Some people behave in the creepiest way possible.
I was just walking in the street with my backpack that always has a blue&yellow ribbon on it, and a guy walking behind me started whistling the melody of russian/soviet anthem 🤦🏻♀️
There’s more than 400,000 Russians fighting in Ukraine at the moment.
Think twice before calling it a “Ukraine war” or “Putin’s war”.
It’s Russia’s war against Ukraine and Ukrainians. With the goal to erase our country from existence.
One of Ukraine's best energy professionals Oleksii Khabatiuk
@khabatiuk
died defending our country. He was the best for many, including myself. He was one of the first people I wrote to on Feb 24th to ask what we could do to help our energy system keep on running.
RIP Oleksii🕯️
Poland: "The target of the Russian missile was not in our country, otherwise we would've intercepted it of course".
... which means Russia can freely use Polish airspace to target anything in Ukraine?
This night the terrorist russia completely destroyed the largest power generating facility of Kyiv region - the 1.8 GW Trypilska thermal power plant located 45 km from Kyiv. The plant was running on coal and gas.
The destroy our energy system.
WE NEED AIR DEFENSE NOW

Many of my colleagues knew this intelligent and very devoted woman who spent her life researching and teaching environmental protection at one of Ukraine’s best universities.
Russia kills indiscriminately.

One year ago we thought F-16s were coming to Ukraine “very soon”. It’s May 2024 and the modern western planes are still not there to protect our skies. We are losing the planes we have, and the worst - we are losing our young talented pilots. One by one.
Hello to each and everyone who said
- Ukraine would collapse
- Ukraine should not fight and give up territory
- there is only diplomatic way to solve this
Never too late to learn history.
Never too late to understand that Ukrainians are made of steel & are fighting for freedom.
20% of Ukraine’s territory (~120’000 km2) is now occupied by russia.
Ukrainians fight to death to save their people, get back their land & homes. But we keep hearing that we better surrender.
Would you surrender this much of your territory & own people to the invader?
Finally good news on the nuclear energy sanctions side ☢️👇
An alliance between the UK, US, Canada, Japan and France, aimed at displacing Russia from the international nuclear energy market, has been announced in Sapporo, Japan
Russia bombed one of the biggest book printing factories in Europe - the famous publisher “Vivat” in 🇺🇦Kharkiv.
This is everything you need to know about the ‘great russian culture’.
They kill our writers, burn our books and those who produce them.
⚡ Russian forces attacked Kharkiv Oblast on May 23, resulting in at least seven deaths and 16 injuries in Kharkiv, along with additional casualties reported elsewhere in the region.

If you are picky, just want to make it clear:
It’s also not a «Ukraine war»
and definitely not a «Ukraine crisis»
when you say this, you miss the most important thing -> the aggressor
It’s russia’s war against Ukraine.
This is Koryukivka, a town of 12’000 ppl in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region. Citizens together with local police are standing in front of Russian tanks not letting the invaders pass.
Long story short: invaders turned back and left after negotiations.

Yurii Hlodan joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces after russian missile killed his wife and 6-months old daughter in their home.
He has died this month in the frontlines.
Russia killed one more happy Ukrainian family. So heartbreaking. RIP the three of them 🕯️

@simongerman600
Which Soviet Union for Ukraine?
And why Crimea - territory temporarily occupied by russia - is not marked as Ukrainian?
Feels like the map was made in moscow
Yet another shelling of Kremenchuk by russians. The city of >200’000 people in my native Poltava region. They targeted and hit again main heat & power plant which authorities hoped to restore by next heating season after previous attack (the plant was already heavily damaged).
"Even without new russian attacks on power plants, the Ukrainian energy system will have a deficit of generating capacities in the next 2-3 years, and there is nothing to cover it in full.
Ukrainians should prepare for a life with regular blackouts." 🧵/1
Seemingly some thought I’m inviting everyone to Kyiv now, during russia’s war against Ukraine.
It’s common sense that you should come only when you feel it‘s safe for you to come.
My message is: Kyiv is amazing and it should be on the travel list with other European capitals.
Very often you ask Ukrainians “But Russian and Ukrainian languages are very similar, right?”. Had they been similar, russians wouldn’t have done this 👇
This is the story of two Ukrainian orthography editions published in 1928 and 1933 – and everything horrible that happened in between.
It's also a lesson in Soviet/Russian colonialism, showcasing how Moscow weaponizes language to conquer and dominate other nations.

What are the economic consequences you are talking about in comparison to:

This is why yesterday’s G20 statement is so inherently wrong.
And as
@TimothyDSnyder
mentioned recently, the way for Russians to understand something is to have Ukraine winning.
To help Ukrainians in their fight for freedom.
To help stop the genocide, war crimes, ecocide.
1. Absorb
2. Silence & eliminate
3. Mark the territory & impose the culture
4. Tell the story the way you need
Russia has long used culture as an imperialistic tool to impose its supposed supremacy over the nations & ethnicities it occupied
@EUvsDisinfo
I cannot stop thinking:
“this could be my home” (because Ukrainian soviet-era built residential blocks look so much alike)
“that man looks so much like my grandpa”
& meanwhile I discover that a colleague was “glad to survive this morning”, as she was woken up by explosion wave”
Today marks 100 days of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We’re fighting back but the invader gets paid for its fossils by Europe & whole world to continue this war. Russian coal, oil, gas are poison, they kill people & environment. Let’s stop this.
