War hurts all children, especially those whose parent(s) made the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved Ukraine. Since 2022, the Ukrainian Canadian Advocacy Group, which I cofounded, has run a free Rehabilitation Program for grieving kids in the Carpathian Mountains, helping over
Anastasia Trofimova presented her movie
#RussiansAtWar
” at
@la_Biennale
. She aims to show Russian troops as “ordinary guys with families and a sense of humor”. Trofimova “saw no signs of war crimes during her time near the front”
So we introduce a Short Guide for a Feigned Blind
Ukraine is losing an entire generation. Every day we hear about filmmakers, authors, poets, professors, surgeons, teachers, dancers, architects, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters dying on the front lines. Again, we bury the unfulfilled beauty and potential of our people.
This is approaching actual insanity. These aren’t just easily disprovable lies, they’re literal Kremlin talking points. There is zero danger to ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
Trofimova is getting her money’s worth through Canadian media with no pushback. I’m speechless.
Greetings! Commander Gren here, reminding you to wear a mask at all times that social distancing is not possible, or when inside a business or shared space. Not only are they “tres chic”, but they are a wonderful arts and crafts activity as you stay indoors! 🧡🍓

Wow. Of course Mr. “It’s America’s fault Russia invaded Ukraine” is now insinuating that it’s America’s fault Hitler annihilated the Jews.
Fascists have zero agency in your worldview, huh? They are purely reactionary forces whose decisions are the responsibility of the West.
🔈 from the TIFF Q&A:
Q: “You don’t think that Russia is the main reason for this war? You really don’t understand that?”
Trofimova: “I think there are a lot of other factors involved. Yeah, like they are definitely sending troops in to solve whatever grievances there are.”
@ComradeKimDawn
Our grandparents witnessed it. Food was forcibly taken from starving peoples homes, that’s not “natural famine.” The Soviets put 1.7 million tones of grain on the global market that same year, while 25% of the Ukrainian population starved to death.
Enjoy your comrade cosplay.

HA. I have an Irish barber, and he literally refused to do it for me. He said “Cillian Murphy can do it because he’s a beautiful man…” He was kind enough not to finish the thought 😂
@pslnational
Anything about the apartment block Russia leveled in Dnipro? As of an hour ago children were still screaming from under the rubble. I’ll let you know if/when they stop.
I am in utter shock to hear of the passing of our dear friend and incredible talent,
@Kirby_Morrow
. I have so many fond moments working with him through the years, or joking around in the waiting room. He was such a great guy, and meant so much to so many. This is so sad 💔
If you are looking for ways to help, my organization, the Ukrainian Canadian Advocacy Group, is currently fully funding a therapy retreat for Ukrainian children of war.
By purchasing a Tryzub pendant, 100% of the profit pays for a child’s treatment.
Show your ❤️ for Ukraine AND fund rehabilitation and medical aid with the purchase of a Tryzub pendant via
#YVRScreenSceneForUkraine
’s latest fundraiser. All proceeds benefit rehab programs for Ukrainian children and tactical medicine for war heroes.

Honestly, Ukraine and Poland should open up a corridor to let Putin through to Berlin. Tell him he can have Germany if he leaves Ukraine. They love him there, it seems.

I’ll never forget it. It was the moment the shock wore off for me, and I cried. Not from sadness, but from overwhelming pride in my people.
@tleehumphrey
Wrong. First Russian National Army, 9th Army, ROA, RONA, RNNA. Basic math is your friend.
Meanwhile 33% of the Red Army in 1944 was Ukrainian. The First Ukrainian Front was often the spearhead in the push for Berlin.
Anyway, keep talking like you know Jack shit.
This is a really fantastic article about General Amaya, a standout deaf character in "The Dragon Prince", and my character Gren, who serves as her interpreter.
Last night, I got a message from
@aaronehasz
that really lifted my spirits. He commissioned a photo of our beloved Gren and Amaya, Standing with Ukraine, by

Different strategies. Kherson is only achievable by a slow starving of the trapped enemy. Kharkiv is now in play via frontal assault because they sent so many units into the Kherson trap.

I think you misunderstand me. I agree with you completely. It's not to say it is in vain, but it IS to mourn all the voices lost so far that should never have been taken away in the first place.
In a matter of hours, this haunting picture has cemented the hearts of Ukrainians all over the world. I won’t share the video, but this unarmed Ukrainian PoW responds “Slava Ukraini” to his captor, and is horrifically gunned down on camera.

My whole life my father only referred to it as Muscovy and Muscovites. Occasionally “The Golden Horde” when he was in a mood.

As a Ukrainian, the scenes we are seeing are hauntingly familiar. I’m so sorry. What is this world becoming…
For the victims we say Вічная Пам’ять, eternal memory…
I may lose followers over this but it needs to be said. I find it VERY disrespectful when people don’t stand for the national anthem. As soon as you hear “someBODY once told me the world is gonna roll me” you need to be OUT of your fucking seat
I may lose followers over this but it needs to be said. I find it VERY disrespectful when people don’t stand for the national anthem. As soon as you hear "Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life" you need to be OUT of your fucking seat.
My final thought before attempting to rest for a bit.
I’m seeing many Russians saying “it’s not us, it’s Putin, he’s crazy.” If that’s true, then find the courage to take to the streets and take your country back. It’s possible. Ukraine did it in 2014.
You can stop all of this
@mtracey
Why oh why would Ukrainian civilians be in the only part of the city controlled by Ukrainian forces, when they could instead be shot or raped elsewhere?
We didn’t see this after Bucha. Not after shopping malls and maternity wards were bombed. Not when Mariupol was wiped off the map. Or when tortured bodies were pulled from the mud in Izyum.
Only when Moscow’s privileged found out they’d be sent to fight, did they bother…
Growing protests against military mobilization in St Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg and many other Russian cities tonight.
Russians prefer watching the war on TV. Getting HIMARSed in person in Kherson isn’t attractive at all.
There hasn’t been a lot written about the experience of disabled Ukrainians…
I often think about autistic kids like my son, what hell it must be. Not just the experience of war, but even leaving everything you’re familiar with. The sensorial nightmare of air raid sirens…
Deaf-mute mother from Mariupol (daughter translates):
- My daughter & grandchildren! Our house is destroyed, we sleep in the basement. Barely eat or drink. Want to flee to Zaporizhya, but don’t know how, we can’t hear, dont understand much. Love you above all!

Hello my incredibly talented digital artist tweeps! I’m looking to commission a few pieces of character concept art for a fantasy animated series I’m currently developing. I would love to see your work and learn your rates, so please DM me a quick hello if you’re interested!
In this incredibly uncertain time, I think we could all channel a little of our inner Gren.
Why see ourselves as locked down, when we could be... locked up?

My great uncle spent 25 years in a Gulag (sent there at only 20 years old). His parents and brother died years later not knowing he was alive. My dad was contacted in the 1970's by the Red Cross, looking for any living relatives of a released prisoner who'd been beaten so badly
Oh hi

fans. This weekend, myself and a bunch of the cast will be watching S3 with the incredible team at Bardel.
Gren would never show up to such a gracious event empty handed, so I thought it would be nice if I brought some of your thoughts with me!

We need to stop referring to assholes as “mentally ill”. I know many mentally ill people, they are all lovely human beings, and none of them have committed treason.

Pretty sure it was Ukrainian soldiers who humiliated the mighty russian army around Kyiv and then Kharkiv. And before you say “DERP AMERICAN WEAPONS DERP” russia is using Iranian drones and North Korean artillery shells now.
I’m just going to say it.
Ukrainians, globally, are traumatized.
I am traumatized.
If you post any hot takes, conspiracy theories, or deflections that downplay or make light of the crimes in
#Bucha
, we will cease to be friends. In person or online.
@ONEintheUK
Speaking of preventable disease, there’s a fucking Cholera outbreak in Mariupol after Russia’s genocide there. Why are you putting anti-Ukrainian ads in the Tube? If you want to talk poverty, millions of refugees are fled the war with nothing but the clothes on their back.
@SFartsack
She is a career filmmaker for Russia Today, it is absurd to think her ties to the Russian state suddenly melted away.
It is also impossible that she spent 6 months with the Russian army without their control of what she filmed and what she was saying.
Ask Maks Levin.

fans everywhere:
Just about 4 years ago, I got an audition in my inbox that gave me goosebumps. The sides were a single scene, in which my character wakes up in a strange room, with two other strangers, and no idea who he was.
@KyivIndependent
Literally all I’ve heard was Russians harassing Ukrainians, like outside an Edmonton Oilers game, defacing a Ukie bakery in Toronto, Russian Canadians threatening fellow vacationers in Cuba, ripping 🇺🇦 flags of cars, leaving pictures of Putin on 🇺🇦 cars in Vancouver this Feb 24..
Thread: I was driving home from a mini-vacation with the family and totally missed the panel. I got home, put a pizza in the oven for my son, and logged on Twitter. Found out the saga is happening from my TDP fam, forgot about the pizza, and set it on fire.
