The Russians call the aim of this campaign "deurbanisation". It's very deliberately intended to destroy the viability of Kyiv - a city of 3 million people - as a livable city.
🌑🇺🇦 Wybrałem się w wieczorną przejażdżkę po centrum Kijowa i po kilku dzielnicach prawej strony Dniepru. Atmosfera trochę, jak z jakiejś przedapokaliptycznej powieści. Wszędzie egipskie ciemności. W niektórych oknach blade światełka latarek i innych przyrządów, które wyciągają wieczór z pełnego blackoutu. Samochody jeżdżą powoli, żeby nie potrącić przechodniów, których nie widać w siąpiącej mżawce. Ludzie przemykają niedoświetlonymi ulicami z pięciolitrowymi butelkami wody, której nabrali w lokalnych studniach, jakie w Kijowie jeszcze gdzieniegdzie są. ⚡️ Ciszę miasta, w którym wieczorem nagle masowo ubyło ludzi, bo nie ma sensu chodzić po ulicach, tylko trzeba zająć się ogrzaniem mieszkania przed nocą, zaburza wszechobecny pomruk generatorów. 🪫 Ludzie wymieniają się pomysłami na ocieplenie domów. Ktoś ma inwertor z akumulatorem, ktoś kupił za wczasu baterię EcoFlow albo inną, kiedy były jeszcze o połowę tańsze, inni wypatrzyli jakieś ceramiczne grzejniki, ktoś mieszkanie ogrzewa z butli gazowej, albo stawia na środku pokoju aluminiowe rury, w których zapala tzw. okopowe świeczki i w ten sposób tworzy imitację kaloryfera. 🚰 Bez prądu już trochę nauczyliśmy się w Kijowie żyć ubiegłej zimy. Pod warunkiem, że choć na chwilę wraca. Gorzej z wodą i kanalizacją, a dziś większość stolicy Ukrainy właśnie z tym się boryka, bo w dużej części miasta nie ma nie tylko światła, ale też wody w kranach, czy toaletach. Tego nie przeskoczysz. Każdy więc wyczekuje, kiedy mały strumyk, prawie święconej, się zjawi. Będzie można umyć twarz, dłonie, zagotować herbatę, kawę, skorzystać z WC. 🍂🍁 Jest początek listopada. Jeszcze nie ma mrozów. To dopiero dwie doby, kiedy problemy zaczęły być masowe. Co się stanie, gdy blackout będzie pełny i trwać tygodniami? Są katastroficzne książki na ten temat, które boję się przywoływać w pamięci. ⏳ Już późny wieczór. Niebawem policyjna godzina. Pójdziemy spać w oczekiwaniu, co przyniesie najbliższą noc, a za nią kolejne.

Over 12 years of occupation, Russia has systematically altered Crimea from the inside out, settling an estimated one million Russian citizens on the peninsula while displacing locals. 🧵 1/6

I'm confused, outraged, and upset by the lack of the world's reaction to the criminal Russian double-tap in Komyshuvakha. Search and rescue operations have been underway for 3 days now following a Russian strike on a school. Russians launched 9 guided aerial bombs, initially targeting residents gathered to receive humanitarian aid, and then striking the first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene. ​People were there to receive bread! ​The death toll is currently at 40 people, with over 30 still missing, and after three days, considering the explosions were so strong that recovered bodies are actually "fragments," that means that they are likely gone too. ​I can't understand why this is not news, why the f*** is this normalized???

Last Sunday, I was looking at Tetiana Yablonska (1917-2005) paintings and decided to remind you about her art and life. So, a thread and many posts below 🧵

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia: “You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”

Every post about banning russia from hockey tournaments attracts scores of angry Canadian hockey fans. Canadians who are overwhelmingly pro-Ukraine/pro-democracy suddenly become vatnik fiends. Sportswashing is very real and that's why the russian state invests so much in it.

Canada has just 7 days left to prevent Ovechkin—a supporter of murderers, terrorists, and criminals—from appearing publicly on its soil (on @NHL ice) and promoting Russia’s imperialist war. Are 🇨🇦 lawmakers indifferent to the fact that this promotion will cost many human lives?

At the same time, sponsors are also leaving hockey because they don’t want to have anything to do with the Russians that CAS is forcing to return. Yes, the same CAS that is known for clearing Russian athletes who used doping in Sochi 2014. And the same CAS that took the side of the IOC in the situation with my unlawful disqualification from the 2026 Olympic Games. The IOC and the bubble created around it is starting to collapse…
‼️Germany is considering withdrawing from hosting the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship after CAS allowed the participation of russians. Latvia had previously announced it would boycott the tournament.

Crime without accountability is practice. Justice is not vengeance. When the Soviet Union collapsed, we let euphoria blind us to the need for the hard work of investigation and responsibility. Do not forgive, do not forget, and clean house.
Hearings, subpoenas for Musk, Witkoff, Kushner, Don Jr., Eric, Beach. It should be a C-Span limited series.

Russians have released drone footage of them dropping a multi-ton guided bomb on a school in Zaporizhzhia, setting it to pop music. This strike killed over 30 people. This is Russian culture.

Kyiv, a city of 4 million people, is without running water today. Electricity is available for just 2.5 hours between 7 AM and 10 PM, with somewhat longer access at night. This is what daily life looks like in Ukraine’s capital under russian attacks.

Death toll is likely to rise above 50. Russia obliterated a humanitarian aid center. WCK Ukraine staff were there not long ago—thankfully not at the time. These were innocent people trying to get food and water. The fact that the world can’t stop Russia boggles the mind.
Horrific attack. Ceasefire in Oleshky yes, meanwhile Russia has killed hundreds of innocent civilians across Ukraine recently.

The coalition boycotting the World Championship due to the admission of Russians continues to grow. I believe the point of this is quite clear. Russians should stay suspended from international sport.
The Swedish Ice Hockey Association announces that it will refuse to play Russia in upcoming international tournaments. They join Finland, Denmark and Norway in taking that stance.

If you're voting today in America it's worth remembering that Trump sided with the people who did this.
To understand Russian culture, understand that Russians just dropped nine multi-ton guided bombs on 60 people that had come to a local school to line up for weekly humanitarian aid distribution.
