You can never have too much blue and yellow. Happy State Flag Day, my Ukraine 🇺🇦
On this day, you just want to say to every russian, GET THE HELL OUT of the Ukrainian land! Today, August 23, we celebrate a holiday dedicated to one of our main national symbols - the Day of the National Flag 🇺🇦
Please continue to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. This is our home, and this is our land!
…If someone had told us back then that our cities in Ukraine would look like this - watching the sky through a net, walking while fearfully glancing upward instead of looking around or under our feet...
Today, in the sky above a city in Ukraine Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
I couldn't help but share this video with you, with the world.
For the viewer of this video, it is merely 58 seconds. For these elderly Ukrainians evacuating their home, it is a true ordeal: simply to survive, simply not to become another victim of the russian human safari in Ukraine. Fortunately, everyone made it safe and sound.
Evacuation in my country happens in different ways. And it is not always successful. More and more often, people have to walk on foot to safer areas where a car will be waiting for them to take them to a safer city. But the path to the car looks exactly as you see it...
Summer is coming to an end. In other countries, people are wrapping up their summer vacations. Here in Ukraine, everything is completely different, especially for the residents of the Donetsk region. Evacuation takes place without days off; it doesn't matter if it is summer or winter.
These residents of Ukraine that you see have been stripped of everything; all they have left is their lives, yet even during the evacuation from unsafe regions of Ukraine, russians try to take even that away. And these are simply elderly people.
We’re still standing! Day 1633 👊 Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
… «We hide our dreams far away, every step leaves behind only hopes, I don’t want to die so young.» These lines play over footage of the Ukrainian city of Druzhkivka, as the russian war creeps right up to its doorstep. There is nothing more to add. Just look at what they bring to our land.
…“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” There are things after which you don’t become “stronger” in the usual sense. You simply learn how to live all over again. 🇺🇦 NEVER stop supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦
… "White Angels" continue to evacuate people from the Ukrainian city of Druzhkivka. "We can't bear it any longer. There are explosions all around... My apartment in a nine-story building was destroyed. I no longer have the strength to live here and keep enduring this," one of the women shared.
Ukrainian pensioner escapes a burning home in Druzhkivka, Ukraine. russian aviation struck a civilian's private residence with guided aerial bombs. This is the daily reality of front-line cities, where an ordinary home can become a target for a russian strike at any moment.
...today, Kharkiv once again fell to the bloody hand of the russians. This video shows not only the dark side of this glorious and powerful city, but also the lives of Kharkiv's glorious and powerful residents.
Kyiv, the heart of Ukraine, beats to the rhythm of life. So many years of war behind us… 🇺🇦 NEVER stop supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦
2018: Kostiantynivka, there are no russians. 2026: Kostiantynivka, the russians have arrived.
...Ukraine. “It can't always be bad, good times are bound to come” - a phrase I've often heard throughout my life. Kramatorsk is one of the few remaining large cities in the Donetsk region.
...life in a combat zone, where the contrasts are striking. Every frame highlights just how difficult life is in Ukrainian cities within the combat zone today. You will see the consequences of war through the eyes of those who have found themselves at the epicenter of events.
Kherson was liberated in 2022. Since then, the city has been under active shelling by russian forces. The video is quite long, and you will have to read the subtitles, but it is well worth it to immerse yourself in a world where war is an ongoing reality-in the Ukrainian city of Kherson.
Munich, today, right now. Ukrainians and people who care are singing my country’s anthem together, a reminder to the world, however small or great, that we are still here, we are still fighting against them, against the russians… War has no days off or vacations.
This video doesn't really need words. It perfectly captures life in Ukraine - specifically, the recent nightly missile attack on the capital of my country. The frames shift, showing our lives in both the daylight and the dark of night…
During this long war, many in my country have turned to God, while many others, conversely, have lost their faith. Everyone has their own story and their own reasons, but both have gone through experiences that have forever changed their perspectives and their way of thinking.
…A little more about the events in Lviv this morning. One would think that this city is located so far from the zones of combat operations that the sense of safety should be maximal. However, in our time, it is indifferent to flying metal what the distance is-it has one goal.
… what is happening here. Rescuers are digging through the rubble of a destroyed house, searching for a Ukrainian family and their children. This happened overnight; the russians completely destroyed two private homes and damaged five others. This is in the city of Kryvyi Rih.
... Lviv, a Ukrainian city that many of you know. There are so many good people in the world, yet this is exactly how the world looks because of the bad ones. russia's war is taking an increasing toll on Ukrainian lives.
Evacuation is about packing a suitcase and setting off on a "journey." But this is no cruise-and this is a journey that brings no happiness. Ukraine Today…
Any day could be the last. In general, we don't know when our life will end, and here in Ukraine, that uncertainty is even greater. To survive russian airstrikes and find yourself sitting with your back to your ruined home, trying to regain your senses…
