I’ve only lived in Ukraine full-time for 8 months, and already the toll is astronomical. Imagine what it’s like when Russia is your neighbour for life. I’m taking a short break to reset, so I can come back stronger—because there’s still so much more to do. Meantime I will be editing the Syria documentary covering Putin’s war crimes with @JourneymanVOD See you on the other side ❤️🫡🇺🇦

What on earth? How much time do you need to realise he isn’t a dictator. Here’s some helpful points: 1. He won 73% of the vote in 2019 and was preparing for the 2024 election. (Before Russias invasion.) also no country in history carries out elections during an invasion. 2. Opposition politicians and civil society organizations regularly criticize him—which wouldn’t be possible in a dictatorship. 3. Even after the invasion began, opposition figures like Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko remained politically active. Not thrown in jail 4. Ukraine has not shut down independent media, even those critical of Zelensky. 5. Ukraine is still governed by the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), which votes on key issues. Zelensky does not rule by decree without oversight—his decisions require approval from government institutions All of this is symbolic of Zelensky as a wartime leader - not a dictator.

@TheEconomist This article is beyond the pale. The Russian colonialist spelling, the sympathy for terrorism, the constant reposting. This is intentional and evidence there is Kremlin influence & cash in western media. There’s no other explanation.

Though Odessa is regularly hit by Russian drones and missiles, the city’s identity, its polyphony and its freedom, are under a subtler threat: from Ukraine’s own officials, and from a small but aggressive group of activists at home

@JayinKyiv This is absolutely fucking insane and disgraceful. Odesa is the most beautiful city I think I’ve ever lived in and words cannot describe how fucking depraved you have to be to try and destroy these landmarks.

@United24media This shows just how utterly depraved Russia and Russians are. To it’s core. There’s no fixing this sort of culture.
