This article is based on a few dozen testimonies of UA local authorities,volunteers, teachers persecuted under the Russian occupation. With @anneapplebaum and @TRPUkraine team, we explained not just why Ukrainians fight, but why the occupation can't last

Brilliant Ukrainian artist, anarchist, and fighter David Chichkan died in battle in the Zaporizhzhia direction. A person of crystal integrity, someone I deeply respected and admired. RIP. A huge loss for the global community of anti-authoritarian forces.

🇺🇦 Parliament under citizens pressure (who came to the street after the horrible night of missiles attack) voted for the new law returning independence to the anticorruption bodies with 331 votes. The online broadcast of the parliament sessions resumed,despite under marshal law.

I was asked too often about elections, polls, limitations. My answer was the same: The people will know when it’s time to protest.” And it’s indeed now. The protest isn’t similar to the ones before: it’s not about breaking smth but correcting what’s wrong

“Ukraine is the country of the rule of law”, - people are chanting. With lots of fun slogans like “Volodya, these are wrong cards”, there many conventional like “People are the source of power”. But it’s really a demo of very young Ukrainians who were kids in 2014

“Veto the law”, “One, United and Free Ukraine”, but still “Putin Dickhead” - the major slogans for the largest protest for many many years in defense of the independency of anti-corruption institutions

RT @TimothyDSnyder: Two great people to follow and from whom to learn. @ngumenyuk and @yermolenko_v.

Rough night in Kyiv. Fires, smoke. hundreds of drones shot down over the past 9 hours — and it’s still ongoing. Earlier we knew: Russia targeted the power grid; now it terrorizes civilians all night. All as U.S. aid to air defense is on pause.

Victoria Amelina wins the Orwell prize with her unfinished book. It was painful to read it for a different reason. The parts already finished were so strong, that it hurt to understand again how much more she could have done if Russia hadn't killed her

What might be not obvious: after today’s special operations Ukrainians are safer, as more deadly weapon is destroyed. All these years the Kremlin attacks Ukraine with full capacity. The reasonable way to protect itself: destroy those capabilities to attack Ukrainian towns.

Totally thrilled! The war crimes testimonies, recorded by our small team, are now told on the stage in London Arcola theater. I’ll speak after the play this Monday, June 2nd.Tickets are still available

I've embedded with pilots from 3 UA brigades in the East. A lot is said about drone production.This @Atlantic dispatch shows what this warfare looks like. It's not just about lesser dependence on US weapons. UAVs make the price tag feasible for the allies

May 9th,former Soviet victory day, used to be an important till Moscow highjacked it to promote its modern fascism. Political sign-off to the Special Tribunal to prosecute Putin for the crime of aggression makes it again the day to remind “never again”

I guess chestnuts blossoms season in Kyiv could become a traditional touristic attraction like Sakura Festivals in Japan. My 5 minute walk from the office to the closest subway station

The real leverage against Ukraine Trump has is not abandoning us, but not selling means for air defense. My latest for @guardian. Photo: teens observe rescue operation, waiting for the miracle —their friend is under the rubble. No, he didn’t survive .

The only critical 🇺🇸 weapon Europe can’t substitute fully are the shells for air defense, which only aim is to save civilian lives and infrastructure.Thus major US leverage over 🇺🇦 is destruction of the major cities. Todays attack:most missiles were shut down,still 18 ppl wounded

RT @OzKaterji: My latest episode of @DrillPod is out now, where this week Ukrainian journalist @ngumenyuk and I are discussing the fallout….

Ukraine is not loosing the war and won’t if European support continues. Analysis of the recent US moves by the former Ukrainian minister for Defense @Andriypzag and one of the best defense experts @ForeignAffairs

It feels like Ukrainians are more shocked by this decision by Donald Trump. Banning students protests is the reddest of the red line in our nation psycho.
