Swearing Ukrainian Queen from Kyiv | My K.Y.I.V. out on February 7🎧✨ support my reporting ➡️ppal: [email protected] & ⬇️
Joined September 2012
I am from Kyiv, Ukraine. My friends are killed, wounded , left home or have none because of russia. What Elon Musk is keeping saying on twitter is just sad and hurtful for all Ukrainians. I am sad to see people with power and followers decide to use it like that.

Russia's Uralvogonzavod shuts down production. It will no longer be able to assemble any of T-72 tank (main RU tank) or newer T-90 & T-14 tanks (Armata). Reason: lack of imported components. It means more saved UA lives, is direct result of Western sanctions which should continue.

February 24. Ukrainians are googling how to make Molotov cocktail. September 21. Russians are googling how to leave the country and how to get out of the army. That’s the difference.

My great-grandfather Mykola was tall and handsome man. When Soviets started Holodomor - they were taking food from Ukrainians, were starving us - Mykola got a job at grain warehouse. Every time he went to work, he put on boots with wide lapels and walked around the warehouse.
