People are so normal and hinged, just one near death experience during a bombing of her city would put her brain back into place, vocally wishing death on predominantly young women on tumblr who are understandably having an emotional reaction to some people's obsession with exoticizing and drooling over russian culture when said ukrainian women's home is under a real, looming threat of occupation and subsequent forced russification, which nobody except other ukrainians and some eastern europeans seems to acknowledge much while talking about how "war is hell.. i wish everybody would just put their weapons down and hug each other.. :(".

Also "cultural genocide of everything russian across the globe" LMAO one can only laugh. Not like russia is a former empire and russian is to this day the dominant culture in most of the former soviet union.

I'm writing this post because I don't want people in other countries to imagine an ever-present warzone when they think of Ukraine.

Think of your ordinary life. You go to work, go out with friends, build plans for a summer holiday. You have neighbours, maybe you don't know all of them well but they live next to you and you say hello when you see them. You live in a good apartment, with all amenities, modern appliances and stylish furniture. You pay bills for heating, water and electricity. Maybe you're renting out or it's your own place. You are a part of a globalized world although you don't think about it on such a scale.

And then one day there are explosions in your city. At first it seems shocking and unusual. But you hope it'll end soon. But they don't stop. They become more frequent. You witness your hometown get demolished. The places where you spent your free time or ran errands - the windows get shattered and the walls begin to crumble. It looks weird in the middle of a modern city.

Soon the explosions happen so often that you have to go and live in the basement. You, a person, who has a modern home, must move to a basement, with other people like you, where you don't get enough light or fresh air, let alone enough tap water or a decent place to sleep.

And then you witness death. In fact, many deaths, not just one. You get the news of people you knew, maybe your neighbours or relatives, getting killed. They are just gone. At some point you become so desensitized, the news of a dead body lying outside doesn't shock you. Sometimes you have to go outside and help other people dig out the bodies from under debris or bury them. Sometimes you see other apartments being on fire and you can't do anything. Nobody can and there's no point.

The shops are closed and you become so desparate that you start hunting pigeons for food. You share tiny portions with other people because, even though the conditions are terrible, you remain a human.

You lose everything that you owned and cherished. And it all happens in three months. You basically lose any sense of belonging to a modern society in three fucking months. That's what happened in Mariupol. When you see the photos and videos of people in dirty ragged clothes, looking like they came straight from the middle ages, in front of a ruined street - it's easy to think of them only like this. But they never lived like that before. They lived just like you. They had everything you had - TVs, computers, cars, internet, medical care, shops with stylish clothes. And then just in three months russia made them turn into dejected shadows of themselves who forgot what normal life feels like. That's a real tragedy and that's what russians have done and are still doing to us. They are ruining our normal life which isn't much different from your normal life.

Tonight russia carried out another terrorist attack on Kyiv, Odesa and other Ukrainian cities, using shahed drones and ballistic missiles. Kyiv alone was attacked with 175 drones and 14 missiles. In total, Ukraine was attacked by more than 440 drones and 32 missiles in one night.

In the video - a shahed drone hits a residential apartment building. (turn on the sound if you want to hear what Ukrainians have been hearing every night for years)

In Kyiv, currently reported 60 injured and 14 killed, but the rescue operation is ongoing.

At the very same time, trump says he refuses to approve additional sanctions on russia, because it costs the US money, and because russia is *this* close to signing a peace deal, obviously.

He and others like him are simply waiting for Ukraine to run out of people and resources for resistance, so they can finally give russia what it wants and continue with business as usual.

This bundle of over 200 games is giving all of its proceeds to Ukranian hospitals. Even if you don't plan on playing the games, it's well worth supporting.

It needs to be more taboo for people to use traditional marxist symbolism, especially the kinds of symbols associated with the USSR.

The kinds of human rights abuses that mainstream Marxism engaged in are horrific, and not worthy of glorification.

The outright denial of Marxist atrocities common on the far left is shocking and astounding.

Two years ago russia blew up the Kakhovka Dam and then proceeded to shell people who were trying to evacuate from the flooded areas.

the joys of being Ukrainian

My town gets bombed during the night, and this time the russians, unfortunately, hit the target. (we're okay, our house is fine, but in other neighborhood 76 private houses and one apartment block were damaged. that's not counting the actual target of the attack)

Then in the morning I wake up to this: (yes, we just go back to sleep after the explosions. what else is there to do?)

Not today, anon, not today. Maybe tomorrow.

[sillyandstem]

and so it's happening again

russians launched 100+ UAVs, kalibr and cruise missiles at Ukraine. Previously they also attacked us with balistic missiles and bombs. I'm not even counting in artillery shelling anymore because they do it multiple times a day

all of this on weekend when people were supposed to sleep peacefully in their beds, not hiding in the bomb shelters!

I'm posting this here because the other night russians also launched 200+ kamikaze AUVs and this was BARELY mentioned in the media

GENOCIDE OF UKRAINIANS BECAME NORMALIZED

P.S there's a live map of air raid alerts in Ukraine.

Just check it to understand how fucked this night is for us

This summer I will lock in and post some sort of sheriarty animatic/animation

dead by daylight was so vile for making a character from kyiv oblast (chornobyl's red forest) and calling her russian in every description. like yeah i get it in her time it was a part of russian empire but like you do realize russian empire still had different ethnicities in it. because that is how empire works. it takes other people's lands. and red forest doesn't even border russia it's located in ukraine near belarus so chances for her being ethnically russian are very low
