Happy International Mountain Day for everyone who loves mountains, hiking and active rest.
Russian tank T-72, which is not going to "take Kyiv in 3 days" anymore. #stoprussia #ukraineneedsmoreweapons
Russian ambassador in Kazakhstan, Aleksey Borodavkin recently gave interview where he declared that there is a manifestation of radical nationalism in Kazakhstan with russophobic views. Kazakhs, be careful, it is the same narrative russia propagated about Ukraine years before the invision. Choose your allies wisely. #kazakhstan #russianagression
Missiles were shot down by machine guns and assault rifles. That is such a unique event, I doubt that it ever happened before, anywhere except Ukraine. On the other hand it is not common for majority of countries to be under missile attacks. So, 23.11.2022 russian missile S-300 was shot down by anti-aircraft gunners of the fire support unit of the 185th separate battalion of the 122nd ground defense brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Odesa region using a DShKM…
Just yesterday I wrote a post that Financial Times announced president Zelensky the person of the year, and today journal Time is following this trend, they also announced the person of the year - president Volodymyr Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine. Thanks to all democratic world for any kind of support, together we'll achieve victory sooner.
"Ukraine" took third place in general Google search and first place in news search this year. https://trends.google.ru/trends/yis/2022/GLOBAL/
Few days ago had a half of day off. Increadible coinsidence that 3 other friends from different military units also were in the capital on rotation. We all LOVE good boardgames, so had a chance to play once again one the top 50 world boardgames - Eclipse.
Ukrainian desert "syrnyky". It is delicious, my recommendations to try them if you'll have such opportunity.
Today is the day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the beginning of the year Armed Forces counted about 250 000 soldiers, but after russian invasion due to mobilization the number increased to 700 000 approximately. We keep fighting till victory, because as Antony Blinken said: "if russia stops fighting - the war ends, if Ukraine stops fighting - Ukraine ends".
Photos from Odesa, one of the biggest cities in Ukraine with a population of 1+ mln people. Yesterday russia had launched another missile terroristic attack on critical infrastructure objects in Ukraine. 61 missiles out of 70+ were shot down by Ukrainian anti aircraft forces, but some missiles hit their target and Odesa city is without electricity, water and heat supply. #russiaisaterroriststate
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy became the person of the year 2022 according to Financial Times. "President of Ukraine became the flagman of democratic world in a fight with authoritarianism that may determine the cource of this century". 100 % true, because russian - Ukrainian war, especially it's outcome affects the whole world, including the ambitions of other crazy dictators. #supportUkraine #stoprussia
I would like to draw your attention to a legendary song "Zombie" by The Cranberries. The song is so emotionally powerful, it prompts to find out what is it about and what the author felt when she wrote it. Would be especially useful for russians to understand what is this song about (but do zombies care?) Link to a song that already has 1.2 billions of views: https://youtu.be/6Ejga4kJUts
Powerful photo from Bakhmut, Donetsk region of Ukraine, the place where hell is real.
74% of russians support war with Ukraine after nine months into it – Levada Centre survey. Unfortunately photo is only in russian language. Dark blue represent strong support; Light blue - more likely support than not support; Orange - more likely not support; Red - surely don't support
Ukrainian modern MLRS Bureviy. Working distance up to 35 km.
M777 howitzer, provided by our Western allies in action.
Bear Grylls is in Ukraine. Today he met president Zelenskiy. Russian-Ukrainian war is a huge event that has its effect on almost all countries in the world, it will change alot in geopolitics, it will cancell some current alliences and organisations and will create new. To be together with Ukraine now is to be in the center of worldchanging events. Btw, Bear Grylls and his tv shows are great )
So many civil and infrastructure objects were destroyed by russian terroristic attacks... So many civilians were killed... It is not just war, it is genocide of Ukrainians conducted by russians. #russiaisaterroriststate #stoprussia
Yesterday Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed two more russian aircrafts. Attack aircraft Su-24 and jet aircraft Su-25. As a whole, 280 russian aircrafts were destroyed from the date of massive invasion on 24th of February 2022. 280 aircrafts is insane number, not many countries have so many aircrafts in their Armed Forces at all. The price of idiotic decision to attack Ukraine is getting higher and higher each day for russian terroristic state.
Winter trail run in Zhymomyr region, Ukraine.

Photos on the left side are from the battle for Verdun, World War I, 1916-17. Photos on the right side are of November 2022, Bakhmut, Donetsk region of Ukraine. There is nothing romantic in war, it is only deaths and suffering.
Frontline, near Bakhmut city, Donetsk region, where the most intense war going on.
On the background of the photo is buggy, made by Ukrainian volunteers. Looks like new Mad Max movie, but unfortunately it is reality.
Ministry of defense of Ukraine provides the list of missile arsenal of russian terrorists. Taking into account that Ukrainian critical infrastructure is already badly damaged by numerous massive missile attacks, numbers of rockets left is enough to cause troubles and some blackouts, but it won't affect the situation on the battlefield where Armed Forces of Ukraine are pushing enemies out from our land.
