Russian Invasion - Tumblr Posts

Today is the Orthodox Easter, so I wish happy holidays to everyone celebrating! Unfortunately, russia keeps shelling and sending missiles and drones all over Ukraine, trying to kill as many civilians as possible before the 9th of May. As Europe spends the 8th of May remembering all victims of the WW2, russia has turned the 9th of May into a huge twisted celebration of "victory", even claiming that they can repeat the tragedies if they choose to. Parades, demonstrations and parties are held on that day, turning the horrifying war into the celebration of weaponry and violence. You can guess why russians are trying to kill as many Ukrainians as possible before that date, to show off their violence not only to themselves but to the whole world, reminding everyone that they do have the strength to cause tragedies without being punished for it.

Today we went to the church, even though we are not a religious family. It's a tradition to go to church in the early morning and get splashed in our faces with holy water by a priest. We bake Easter cakes, named "paskas", paint eggs, named "krashankas" or "pysankas", and take these delicious treats, plus other food, in decorated baskets to the church. There everything gets splashed with holy water and everyone happily returns home to celebrate! We meet up with our relatives every year, so for the preparation we have to clean our apartment, cook various dishes and prepare the cakes.

This plus exams plus going to the hospital after university to get vitamin shots to deal with mental illness, is probably the reason why I got weak in my health. We have been warned to expect big air raids in the next few days, and I have been unlucky to catch a virus and fall apart in the middle of the celebration with a 38.8 degree fever. I dread to get a message telling us about russian missile carrying planes getting off. I would have to go to the cold subway with fever, which is a fate better than worrying about the missile danger at home and hearing explosions outside my window. Horrifying how our lives turned into this. But I am thankful to be alive

Burning Ukrainian books isn't enough for russians, they are bombing printing houses.

This is Factor Druk, one of the largest full-cycle printing houses both in Ukraine and in Europe (located in Kharkiv region), where a lot of Ukrainian publishing houses print their books. And today russia bombed it. There are injured and killed.

After reading this horrible news, I went to my bookshelf, and the first comic I picked up was printed by Factor Druk. And you know what's fucking ironic?

It was one of Atla comics.

I have a collection of all Atla comics that are already published in Ukraine, and apparently they were printed by Factor Druk.

I'm sitting here completely devastated, holding these comics like the biggest treasure in the world.

Russia is a terrorist state

Zaporizhzhia.

Right now, a russian missile strike a high-rise building.

All necessary services are working at the place of destruction. The number of victims is being clarified.

About the Russian invasion - how is everyone feeling there? What can we do to help?

Thank you so much for asking!

A little bit of history: it's actually been 8 years since russia first invaded our country. But for the last years it was getting more and more quiet. And now BOOM again

Many people evacuated from the destroyed by war cities in 2014 and some still live there even though they support Ukraine. It's hard to leave your home. So it's emotionally different for everyone. There was a joke that people from Kyiv worry more than people from Eastern Ukraine. Because they have experienced a similar thing in 2014 and now they're more prepared than ever before.

Personally, I'm panicking from time to time, because, yup, it's stressful. Most people don't really speak about the war and evacuation because it's scary. But I feel like everyone's trying to be prepared for the evacuation or fighting. Every night does feel like a last one, after all.

Since the beginning of the war, our people have been giving money to military charity. One of the most famous military charities is "Return alive" (Povernysya zhivim). Many Ukrainians donate here every month. Here is a link for Facebook page of the charity, let me know if it translates to English or if i should make a post with translation:

There is also a charity that helps military. Yana Zinkevych, a Ukrainian politician and a commander of the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, leads this charity. In 2015 she was paralyzed during a mission and since then she has been using a wheelchair. She has personally saved more than 200 soldiers and she's awesome.

In her post here she makes a list of needed ammunition and the needed money.

I tried to write about the charities that Ukrainians trust in. They are famous, they have been trusted by people all these years, so as far as I am concerned, they can be trusted.

Here is a post by @everlasting-burnout who provided more links. They seem trustworthy.

Thank you so much for reading and I encourage to reblog. Just to remind you, I'm trying to tell about Ukrainian situation as objectively and as truthfully as I can

Scary as shit knowing just how *trustworthy* russians are

If it blows we know who did it. :( heavens forbid

❗️❗️russia continues its preparations to blow up the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe.

Sunflower epitaph, March 1, 2022.

Seeds For Tomorrow

Inspired by the brave Ukrainian woman who told the invading Russian soldier “Put sunflower seeds in your pocket so that sunflowers will grow when you die here.”

People are scared and lives are in danger.

If you are in a position to support these people, please do so.

No one should have to suffer through this.

SUPPORT SANCTIONS OF RUSSIA

In 2014, Russia annexed a part of Ukraine (Crimea) and since then has been funding and arming Pro-Russian separatist and terrorist groups that have seized Donbas, an eastern region in Ukraine. Russia has been funding a civil war in Ukraine, essentially. Recently, the separatist groups have been sending civilian women, children and elderly out of Ukraine and into Russia, but leaving fighting-age men inside. These separatist are directly controlled by Kremlin (the government of Russia) and they are how Russia has been leading a proxy war on Ukraine since 2014. 

But now, Russia has sent their own troops in, which is an invasion. They are doing it under the pretence of ‘peacekeeping’, but this is an obvious lie.

Russia accuses Ukraine of aggressing on Donbas and on Russia, prompting the war on Russia and conducting genocide on its own people. None of this is true. Russia is the one arming Pro-Russian terrorists in Ukraine, Russia has been surrounding and provoking Ukraine with military, and is the one that has been spreading misleading historically-inaccurate disinformation. It’s what Russia did in Georgia in 2008 and similar to what Germany did in Poland in 1939.

Making this post cuz I don’t see anything on tumblr about this, and to spread links and information. 

If I find any more donation fund links, I will add them to this post.
