People who ask, “Where are the photos or videos of the wаr in Ukraine?” Are you serious?
I am not obligated to prove anything to you.

If you truly want to see the truth - open the pages of Ukrainians.
We post photos, videos, and stories from under shelling every single day.

Just type “Ukraine” into your search, not “russia.”
Because when you search through russia - you are consuming russian propaganda.

Do not shift your unwillingness to see the truth onto us.
We live in this reality. And we already have enough pain without your doubts.

An Iranian drone, stamped with russia’s “Geran-2,” has been discovered — this time in Dubai.

russian hit a passenger train in Mykolaiv this morning with an Iranian Shahed drone.

PLEASE, speak about Kherson.

The russіan humаn sаfari continues in Kherson.
The world must see russіa’s tеrrоr.

They hunt cіvilіans in the streets.
They tаrget cars, homes, and rescue workers.

Look at this magical photo I took🫶

Hi, from evening Vinnytsia🫶 Although spring has already arrived, our winter left behind ice that is now melting.

The Ukrainian team has been banned from wearing uniforms featuring a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics. The IPC claims the map is "political."

At the same time, the russian team includes former soldiers who took part in the illegal invasion. They are allowed to compete under their national flag, while Ukrainian athletes are prohibited from displaying their own country’s map.

russia attacked a train in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

One person was kіІled, seven passengers were injured. Among them are two children — a 10-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy.

Winter was truly hard, and the first day of spring felt like a relief — as if you could finally exhale and start again.

At the start of the full-scale invasion, russia relied heavily on mіssiles. They were limited in number, and Ukraine’s air defense learned to intercept many of them.

Then came the drоnes —technology transferred from Iran. Cheap. Mass-produced. Launched in waves every night. Not for the battlefield, but for tеrror. For exhаustion. For destrоying energy infrastructure and civilian life.

Ukraine warned:
do not allow this cooperation.
do not look away.

We were called emotional. Аlarmist.

Now nightly аttacks have become the “new normal.”
But normalizing tеrrоr is a failure of international response.

When аggrеssion is ignored, it does not disappear. It еxpands.

The first day of spring🫶
We have survived this dark and cold winter, it was the hardest winter for us.
Spring brings with it hope and faith.

We went out for a walk with Solomiia, but the air raid siren started, so now we’re going back home.

Iran supplied Russia with Shahed drones.
The same Shaheds that hunt Ukrainian homes every single night.

We begged the world:
stop Iran.
Stop Russia.

But no one truly listened.
While those drones were becoming more precise, more lеthal.

Syrnyky😋

If someone hasn’t coped with their own pain or problems, it doesn’t mean they have the right to hurt others.
We can choose either to support or to walk past.

Kostiantynivka

This is not a movie scene.
This is a Ukrainian city that Russia is systematically erasing.
They want it to disappear — physically and from the world’s memory.
Please, don’t stay SILENT

About 20 houses were damaged as a result of the overnight russian attack on the Vinnytsia region.

Windows and doors were blown out, and roofs were damaged. In some buildings, walls were cracked.

Kyiv region after the russian attack

Last night, russia once again attacked Ukraine.
420 drones overnight.
39 missiles, 11 of them ballistic.

In the photo a rescuer from Poltava.

Look into his eyes.
In them is something not everyone can bear to see.

He has just stepped out of the very heart of the fire.

In his gaze, there is something greater than exhaustion.
There is quiet strength.
There is a faint, barely visible smile of a man who knows the true cost of a saved life.

Thank you.
For every heart that continues to beat.

It’s incredibly delicious — I think you’d be interested to see it.

The cheese horse with a Hutsul rider is a piece of Hutsul heritage — an edible talisman from the Kosiv region, crafted by an artisan from aged sheep’s cheese cured in brine. It is given as a wedding gift, made for Easter, and also prepared for festive occasions.

When we are under russian attacks every single day, it sounds strange that some people seem to care more about oil and money than about human lives.

For some reason today I felt like crying, emptiness inside, a sense of loss.

Good night, world — please don’t forget about Ukraine.

Thank you to our defenders.

Our deepest honor to those who are no longer with us…

We remember.
We are grateful.
We live — because of you.

The UN General Assembly adopted the resolution “Support for a Lasting Peace in Ukraine.”

The resolution calls for an immediate ceasefire and reaffirms the need to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

I believe in a future where my children no longer wake to the sound of sirens.
I believe in justice.

Ukraine will stand.
Because it stands for life.
And life is always stronger.

Slovakia no longer supplies electricity to Ukraine.

Thank you for your “support.” 🥴

“Ukraine, we stand with you” should mean more than words — it should mean action. The EU has leverage over Slovakia and Hungary. The question is not whether it can act, but whether it truly wants to.

Nothing new, everything as usual🥴
russians are always stеalіng something.

Sunday 🤗

Mom baked a cake.
Even though I’m already a mom myself, whenever I come to my parents’ home, it’s a chance to feel like a child again.

I don’t remember who once told me these words: we are children as long as our parents are alive.
Maybe that’s really true.

russians once again deliberately targeted civilians in the Kyiv region.

Several homes were destroyed.

When I hear someone say, “russia wants peace,” it feels like they’re mocking us.
While they say this, we are hiding our children in shelters from russian missiles and drones.

In the Kyiv region, one person was kіІlеd as a result of a russіan аttack.

My mom knits these kinds of rugs for the home from old clothes, so feet won’t be cold in winter.

We cannot look away.
We must speak.
We must stand for women whose voices are being taken from them.

Happy Saturday my friends🫶
It’s cool here, but sunny. Today is truly a beautiful day.

Odesa today after the russian attack.

Sorry, the lighting is a bit dark, unfortunately it doesn’t show the true colors right now. But I’m trying to show you more of my work process.

We arrived at my parents’ house, and it instantly came alive.
Seva organized a chess tournament with grandfather, while Solomiia decided she urgently and immediately needed grandfather too, dragging him away 😂
Solomiia quickly scattered her toys around, because Grandma’s house was just a little too tidy 😂

Today Seva had the final of a boxing tournament. He took second place — of course, he was a little upset, so we decided to have some cocoa with dessert.

“Blessed be the memory of all the Heavenly Hundred heroes, as well as every Ukrainian who gave their lives so that Ukraine would be free. Glory to Ukraine!”

Solomiya painted a picture for her grandmother so she could admire it.
This is what five minutes of silence look like😂
