Top takeaways from Russia’s war on Ukraine so far: 1. Putin is not as strong as he wants to be seen, he’s a delusional KGB operative. 2. Russia’s army might is a myth. 3. Russia is not a superpower altogether. 4. Ukraine will fight till the end. 5. No way to avoid Hague Tribunal.

Russia is well aware it can’t win its war vs Ukraine. That’s why it’s taking Mariupol hostage, terrorizing Ukrainians inside the town and mentally abusing the whole nation. This whole war is a punitive operation against Ukraine’s determination to live freely and democratically.

Ukraine has woken up to a series of massive drone and rocket attacks across the country. Air defence systems are intercepting many of them, but not all. Russia continues to terrorize and punish Ukrainian civilians for not wanting to be Russia. Putin considers it disobedience.

It took me days to be able to bid farewell to Pierre Zakrzewski. I only met him once, we were sitting together on a bus and spoke for hours. He knew so much about Ukraine. He cared. He was infinitely intelligent, kind & compassionate. He shouldn’t have died in this ugly war. RIP

My grandad Dmytro fought Nazis in WWII. He was a sapper. His biggest wish was an independent Ukraine. He was lucky to witness USSR collapse and Ukraine gain freedom. Victory Day to him was about win of virtues over cruelty. If he were alive, he’d do anything for Ukraine’s victory

Russia hits a hospital in Beryslav, Kherson oblast. A medic and an ambulance driver got injured. Looks surreal, yet this is the horrid reality of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

“It’s just Putin’s war”. Well, sociology is science. And it has been telling us that the overwhelming majority of Russia’s population, up to 4/5, approve of the Russian bloody war against Ukraine. If that’s not a big enough reason for collective responsibility, then what is?

Hundreds of Mariupol residents thought they'd be safe in theatre basement, but were deliberately bombed by Russia instead. There was no miracle and no escape for them from Putin. Mariupol siege will go down in history as one of the worst atrocities of our time.
