Interesting letter of @strategywoman.bsky.social about minutes of silence to honour defenders, killed in war. Everyone knows this habit, but where does it come from? Yaroslava looked it up and tells us all about it. Very much worth some minutes of your time!
Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · 2d agoOn Sunday, I sent a letter. Since March 16, 2022, Ukraine has observed a minute of silence to honour defenders and civilians killed in the war. Every day at 9 am. I looked into the history of collective silence, and it became a letter.
13 million books destroyed in Ukraine ! But there is hope! Support small Ukrainian publishers in this wonderful campaign!
Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · 2d agoIn the summer of 2026 russian attacks destroyed 13 million books in Ukraine. Perhaps this line will make it into history books. Today, I saw the program aimed at supporting small Ukrainian publishers. Please read, and maybe you’ll become a donor too. foundation.kse.ua/en/projects/...
If you want to have a real idea of russia's intentions, you should read this letter by @strategywoman.bsky.social
Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · 2w agoYesterday, I sent a letter about the “russian world”, an ideology of russia’s special mission and influence beyond its borders. I traced how it evolved over centuries. Today, attacks on Kyiv resumed. They show what this “mission” looks like. Photo from the exhibition: Mykyta Shandyba
Are you European too? Or do you appreciate freedom? Support Ukraine, support freedom for us all!
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 3w ago🇺🇦 This patch on a Ukrainian soldier’s sleeve says it all: one flag for his nation, one for the union he chose. 🇺🇦 wasn’t invaded for threatening russia, but for turning toward Europe. That choice is also mine. As a European, I support Ukraine. Join our fundraiser 🛻 ⤵️
🇺🇦How russian attacks affect also animals, put their health at risk ⬇️ We must stop russia! #CloseTheSky
Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · 3w agoToday I spent a few hours looking for food for Victory (still a cat). Found a few packs left in one store. She needs specific food because of her stomach. I have some at home, of course. Another warehouse of the pet food company was hit in a russian attack.
Help the Ukrainian people create the life of their dreams by joining this fundraiser!
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 3w ago🫶 “I’m creating the life of my dreams.” Saw this on a mirror in a bombed-out coffee shop in Kyiv. After another night under missiles, kids went back to school anyway this morning. All I wish for them is to get to create that life. Together, let's support the defenders ⤵️
@strategywoman.bsky.social shows us extraordinary religious objects from Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. Become a member to know more about it.
Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · 3w agoYesterday I sent a Sunday Letter. Its focus is that life goes on even between attacks. I described my visit to Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, where I saw treasures from the sacristy (where objects used in worship and other church treasures are kept).
War is nothing to get used to! Join this fundraiser for the Ukrainian army.
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · last mo.🗺️ If Ukraine’s borders can be redrawn by force, whose can’t be? That’s the question this war is answering in real time.

Which cause do you want to support?
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 4w ago🐾 A soldier paints his unit's adopted strays on pages of old soviet propaganda, burnt for warmth at the front. Now russia is systematically burning 🇺🇦's publishing houses. One fire gave life, the other is trying to erase a culture. Fund the unit defending it! 🙏 See below ⤵️
Hey, druzi, do you want to join me in supporting Ukrainian publishing houses Russia bombed today? We could buy some of their books - and send them to the frontline for Ukrainian soldiers (there’s a whole wish list and all ). What do you think ? Would you like to join me in this ?
Are you in?
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 4w agoYear 4+. This 🇺🇦 flag's still flying over a city hall in a quiet 🇧🇪 town. Belgians around me are still all in: convoys, medical kits, trucks, winter gear, Starlink... We are not giving up. And this is just me, in my tiny country. How's yours? 🙏🏻 Boost, share, donate: www.help99.co/patches/belg...
Help Ukrainian soldiers defend their beautiful country by funding a truck!
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 4w ago🎨 What do you see first, the Monet-soft light or the tank? A Ukrainian artist painted this field between rotations, exactly as he saw it: beautiful, yet altered by war. We’re funding a truck for the brigade defending these landscapes. 🙏 Help us deliver! See link below ⤵️
Help the Ukrainian defenders to fight for peace in their country. Sleeping on the ground in the corridor to survive should not be a normal thing. Join this fundraiser for a much needed and lifesaving truck!
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 4w ago🌙 Kyiv, last month. On a very loud night. My hotel neighbour followed the two-walls rule without flinching. Pillows, phone, teddy. I want one thing for her: a sovereign country, free from the murderous neighbour that keeps trying to erase it. Support the defenders with us ⤵️
Let's go for a second truck! The Ukrainian army needs it, we can provide it.
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · 4w ago🫂 You funded Truck #1 in just seven days. Incredible. The 159th Brigade's response: "Can we get one more?" One of their assault units now urgently needs a second #NAFO truck. 🎯 €20.5k / €41k raised (50%) Halfway there! Share and boost, or donate if you can 🫶 See link below 🙏

Yaroslava@strategywoman.bsky.social · last mo.New Sunday Letter from Ukraine. Why do we call 1991 a restoration of Ukraine’s independence? Why did moscow begin to claim the legacy of Rus’? I answered these and other basic questions about Ukraine’s history — simply and briefly. Open to read: www.patreon.com/strategywoma...
Florence makes a very good point here. Join this fundraiser. You can help Ukraine, despite the fact that who should help, doesn't.
Florence@flore14.bsky.social · last mo.🗞️ The news cycle is pointless, between the other moron’s tweets, and some royal saga. Whereas the actual news is that russia hit a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih twice, the second strike aimed at rescuers. #SkyShield now. #Patriots now. And trucks! Help us fund the next one ⤵️
