i fucking hate that wanting to end the war — which can only end when we win, for we will never survive in occupation — means that to the West i am “pro-war”. do they think i’m in the military because i enjoy this shit. the war has made my life a hell

as a Ukrainian soldier I can tell you it’s actually the Russians firing missiles, shells, bombs, mines, bullets and drones at us that makes it so bloody. would be pretty bloodless otherwise unless I’m forgetting some kind of weapon. oh they also kill people with knives

this article goes to show well what ive been feeling about our reluctant western allies for a year now: fundamentally, they think we’re exaggerating. they don’t actually believe me when i say a russian soldier would cut my head off and kick it around like a football if he could
After a year of war, the struggle for cultural sovereignty has triggered complex sentiments.

none of this has to do with race, being from a fascist empire is not a “race”. let me make it very simple for you:
your name should never, ever, be on a Ukrainian flag background or anywhere near a Ukrainian flag so there’s no confusion that you have anything to do with Ukraine

when you are not a ukrainian and you’re not here, it is easy to shy away from this horrible knowledge in the comfort of your home or office. your brain is hardwired to disbelieve or warp traumatic knowledge, avoiding harm, but this is the truth. i’m not, we’re not, making this up

when the war is over and there is nothing left to do but write articles (instead of doing the hard, but right thing) they will write their articles, but the tone will be different. they will believe us finally, when believing us is finally convenient and does not require action

i know why the west does not want to admit that this is a genocide in progress, a year of genocide: because it immediately follows that it is their responsibility to do so much more, right now. and that’s hard! no one wants that!

a Russian can enlist, come to my homeland, rape a child, shoot their father in the head (or anyone else), and then be taken POW, be exchanged, and return home. a Russian can literally murder a number of people and face no punishment, and just live
3

every Russian soldier is a murderer (because they made it so far into Ukraine by murdering Ukrainians), and every Russian is a murder accomplice. a fair trial in any country would sentence them to punishment, in some places the death penalty. oh but it’s a “war”
1

106
and yes, in fact, it is only the weapons, only the ukrainian armed forces using them, that can prevent russians from raping, murdering, deporting every child in ukraine. keeping in mind that where russians did get to do this freely, they did it by killing ukrainian military there
1

i get it, it took me a couple weeks of pictures & undeniable proof that a russian soldier in a ukrainian town points a rifle at a child, and takes them to a separate room to rape, and after several more soldiers do the same, they execute the child. its hard to comprehend at first

what will happen is that we will win, through terrible battle, just barely scraping by with precious modern equipment that somehow made it through; and then, the west will speak of how they should’ve taken responsibility, they will be so sorry

“war” isn’t some umbrella term that makes them not murderers and accomplices all of a sudden. i do not understand how they get less blame because they had more weapons and came in a bigger group than any other kind of criminal

i had no choice but to adjust and get it through my head, based on evidence, images and eyewitness accounts, that russians will castrate men, rape women, execute them, and roll over a pile of their corpses with a tank to hide evidence, when they are forced to flee

i’m a far-left Ukrainian in the army and it doesn’t strike me as “nationalist”: it’s just most of us folks here simply do not like their friends and relatives being shot in the head
While claiming to support socialist policies, Sotsialnyi Rukh's advocacy of arming a nationalist Ukrainian army under the control of the Ukrainian ruling class and US imperialism contradicts the principles of revolutionary socialism. 2/

at one point, Poland occupied half of Ukraine, and Russia the other half. yet now Poland treats Ukraine as an equal, a close friend, while Russia wants to kill us all. i’ll always love Poland: playing there i felt respect & love; Unsound was my 1st time being treated like a star

as per Joyce Carol Oates, apparently i don’t read. we’ve been insulted from every possible angle by every possible type of person at this point, i think
of course they don't read! that's the irony: they weren't going to buy the book anyway, & possibly don't buy anyone's books, ever. when you have a concerted political agenda, as in the Elizabeth Gilbert case, there is no literary aspect to the issue at all, just sheer politics.

i’m a Ukrainian in active military service, my English could do wonders if the Western Left cared to listen; i fear those who realized they had to sit down & listen to POC, LGBTQ+ etc are tired of learning & want to feel right for once without having to put in the work, this time
So funny to know how many ‘experts’ on Ukraine don’t speak single word in Ukrainian and haven’t been to Ukraine a single time and still believe it’s enough to read news to make ‘expert’ commentaries. How many experts on the US do you know not speaking English? Hilarious.

no matter what your post-irony-against-the-current-thing views are i don’t give a fuck; the Bucha Massacre is a historic tragedy, unforgivable, and it left a permanent mark on me and every Ukrainian. everything we do now, in many ways – this is why, this is why, this is why
When Bucha was de-occupied, the heinous truth about what was happening in the temporarily occupied territories was revealed to the world.
We will never forget the victims of this war, and we will certainly bring all Russian murderers to justice.

After Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, few expected that Ukraine could resist. Russian officers packed dress uniforms for a victory parade. Within hours of Russia’s attack, with 🇷🇺 army closing in on Kyiv, the US offered to evacuate Zelenskyy. 🧵
