I learn to use #Kalashnikov and prepare to bear arms. It sounds surreal as just a few days ago it would never come to my mind. Our #women will protect our soil the same way as our #men. Go #Ukraine! 🇺🇦

#Berlin now. #Ukraine is getting unprecedented support from thepeople of the world! #StandWithUkraine
#Mornings like this are great. Not only we did not fail, we are fighting everywhere and pushing back. Good morning, #Ukraine 🇺🇦! ❤️ #UkraineWillResist
Many of my friends said today “we were ready to wake up to the news that #Kyiv fell. We are really surprised”. Well:
- Kyiv does not plan to fall
- we have many #surprises for #Putin and for the world. Go Ukraine! 🇺🇦
There are questions you don’t have good answers to.
“You are on Putin’s kill list, how do you feel about that?”
“Well, Im also on Ukraine’s top 10 bachelorette’s list. Hope it balances it out” 🤦♂️❤️🇺🇦
This is what #Putin is doing to my country.
I want you to see it. I want you to feel it.
I want you to learn what it looks like when a rocket hits your home.
#StopPutinNOW
#Parliament is working! We gathered as leaders of the factions to vote for the important matters:
- appeal to #EU for Ukraine to join EU on a simplified procedure
- appeal to remove #Russia from UN Security Counsel
- prepping legislation to freeze Russian assets inside Ukraine 🇺🇦
This is #Bucha. The outskirt of #Kyiv. Russians were killing people with their hands tied behind their backs and left the bodies near the road. I am shaking.
#StopPutinNOW
This is 12-year old Daniil and his cat Masya. They were able to get out of #Mariupol.
#StandWithUkraine️️
There are 37,000 women fighting in the ranks of the #Armed Forces of Ukraine, more than 1,000 women have become commanders since the beginning of the war. We have a priviledge to fight alongside our men, and we bow to every man and woman fighting for our freedom today.
Battle ship #Moskva is down - we are celebrating.
If you give us more weapons - we will do more.
#armUkraine
Today we pray for peace and for the victory. We are holding hands and kissing strangers on the cheeks. We are united more than ever. We are Ukraine.
#Ukraine
This man has been working every single day of war. Every time we felt scared, depressed, disappointed, upset - he would just get up and open his booth and sell fruit and veggies.
I bow to all people of #Ukraine who never stopped working. Never stopped building and moving forward.
5 am in Warsaw. Going to #Brussels for the big day. It feels like Christmas. Can you believe we are so close to becoming a #Candidate?
#UkraineisEU
Another #AirStrike in #Kyiv.
When we hear #sirens we go under the stairs. Before, I used to keep all of my shoe boxes here. But now I cleaned it up, put yoga mat and some pillows.
This morning 🇺🇦 Air Force shot down 13 out of 13 kamikaze drones over #Kyiv region. Glory to Ukraine!
OMG! All NATO allies have agreed that Ukraine will eventually become a member of the alliance ❗️
Literally, the worst night of shelling in #Kyiv.
Did not sleep at all. This is what we get when #Russians say - pull back the troops.
#StopPutinNOW
This is not a war. This is genocide.

I am absolutely outraged by the decision to disqualify Ukrainian saber fencer Olga Kharlan from the world championship for refusing to shake hands with russian competitor. We do not shake bloody hands of the murderers.

In 10 says of #war we learned not to worry about the air raid sirens. We still hiding, but this is just a normal part of life now.
#StopWarInUkraine
People cleaning up #Irpin after #Russians.
This is how life wins over death. Hope over despair.
We love our home so much. We defend it. We live here.
#StandWithUkraine
Yeap. Putin, hope you are watching this real-time. We. Will. Win.
So it is past midnight in #Kyiv - and International #Women Day is on!
This year se are holding flowers and guns: we have a priviledge to fight for our country along with men.
Ukrainian women are incredible. Because of them - we will win! ❤️
#InternationalWomensDay
There was always a question what would be the force that would stop #Putin. We thought it would be some great #unity of great #countries, and it will take ages to put together.
But it was us. It was always us from the very beginning. So proud of #Ukrainian army and people! 🇺🇦❤️✅
Resistance troops are gathering. Together with my friend getting ready for a tough night tonight. #UkraineWillResist
One of the destroyed parks in #Kyiv region. The flowers began to blossom. #Russians cannot destroy life. And they cannot destroy us. #StandWithUkraine️️
The simplest way to explain what’s going on in #Ukraine is just say: “It is a David vs Goliath situation”. Clear to everyone, plus you know who will win 😉.
But what I like the most, how after the battle David became a king and built a strong state. This is what we will do.
Lavrov: "We don't plan to attack other countries. We did not attack Ukraine either".
Well, this is Orwell-level scary.
#StopPutinNOW
Every morning I start at 7 AM.
I want everybsingle person on Earth know about #Ukraine.
About how bravely we fight.
About how hard we want to live.
And about the support we need to win.
#StandWithUkraine️️ #NoFlyZone
Good morning from me and angry Michelle. We are back to regular trainings. We need to be strong to push the enemy back to hell and rebuild our country.
#Kyiv
People in occupied #Kahovka gathered at the central square to tell the invaders to go home. To state, that you cannot conquer us. That we are #Ukraine.
People of the world, watch this video. These are the people you can protect.
#NoFlyZone
Today tens of millions of Ukrainians have only one wish — to win this war. And it will come true.
Great news! A ship with 18,000 tonnes of #Ukrainian corn has arrived in #Spain. This is the first consignment of Ukrainian grain to be delivered via a "new sea route" across the #Baltic Sea to bypass Ukrainian ports blocked by russia.
This is how my working day looks like now: sitting under the stairs during the #Airstrikes and sitting on them afterwards. Spreading the #truth about #Ukraine and our fight.
Today, under a secrecy, 300 MPs gathered together to vote for the critical legislation pieces in the #Parliament.
So proud of our crew. Everybody was there to fulfill their duty. #StopPutinNOW
Mass graves behind the local church. 300 people. Killed for no reason. I don’t think I will be able to cry again.
#BuchaMassacre
This birthday I am facing en route - like many others. Thank you all for your love and wishes ❤️🇺🇦
#Russia asking #China for a military support to fight #Ukraine.
I take it as a compliment for our #Army and #Resistance.
#StandWithUkraine
This is my city. I love it. And the destruction I see - is temporary.
What is broken will be rebuilt. And we will be the ones rebuilding it.
#Kyiv
Every death, every destruction is documented. I am choosing to go there, to take this darkness in.
Because one day I want to be a witness at his trial.
A Nuremberg trial for each and every single person.
#BuchaMassacre
Today, I am 37.
I certainly understand that I was able to get to this day because of the brave men and women fighting for us at the frontline.
All my birthday wishes - same as for every Ukrainian now - are to win this war.
All our prayers today - for the Ukrainian Army and their heroic deeds. Happy Palm Sunday 🌿🪺🇺🇦
Всі наші молитви сьогодні - за ЗСУ та їх героїчні подвиги. Щасливої Вербної Неділі! 🪺🌿🇺🇦
After the last russian attack, our power engineers were able to restore electricity to 6 million Ukrainians in one day 🇺🇦
Almost every 3rd family at the train station is taking their pets at the challenging refugee journey.
“We cannot leave them behind, they are like children to us”
#Ukrainians are amazing!
Yay! #EU leaders said YES to the eurointegration of #Ukraine.
Finally!
#StandWithUkraine #UkraineisEurope
Today, it all finally paid off.
The land you swore to protect is sending you a message.
That life always wins over death.
Amen.
One month. The fastest one and the slowest one. The most emotional and the one to show the most strength.
We are building our nation - #Ukrainian nation.
#StandWithUkraine
When #Putin decided to invade #Ukraine, he assessed our forces. And he only count men. So he miscalculated! Because women rose up to fight and we are defending our country shoulder to shoulder with our men.
#IWD2022 #BreakTheBias #WomenForce4Change
#NoFlyZone #StandWithUkraine️️
Ukrainian Air Defense is shooting down russia’s missile attack. Watch us and stand with us 🇺🇦
To all the friends of #Ukraine: thank you for your attention, incredible support and will to highlight our fight. Because of you, the world sees us.
Small snippet of #Kyiv today. It is a real spring. Geez, we want to live - so badly, so desperately. 🇺🇦✊⚡️
#Parliament is working. One of the most important resolutions we voted today for is a call to #USCongress to recognize #Russia as sponsor of terrorism.
This will allow for more prolonged and systematic #sanctions. Plus, it is true.
We get down there 3-4 times a day. While we wait for the #airstrikes to pass, we pray, sing the songs, or imagine, what the life would look like when the #war is over.
The support announced by #Biden for #Ukraine is overwhelming.
800 air defense systems
9 000 anti-tank complexes
20 mln pieces of ammunition
1B$
#StandWithUkraine
A month in this #war. We are still standing, we are giving them hell, we are fighting. Fighting like #Ukrainians.
#FightLikeUkrainian
Many of you asking, hows #Michelle doing. She’s doing great, guarding the food, cuddling with the warriors.
Hopefully, she does not understand what is going on.
#StopPutinNOW
You would not believe how many people stopped me and said “Go Ukraine 🇺🇦 !” when I walked the streets of New York today. The world is with Ukraine.
First 100 people were evacuated from #Azovstal.
We are all in tears here.
Finally.
#StandWithUkraine️️
Ready to fullfil our duty.
Today, there was another #Rada seating.
And this is us, ready.
You cannot break us as long as every #Ukrainian is doing his part. Her part.
You cannot break us.
#fightlikeukrainian
So you asking if I have been training.
2 hours a day. Every day.
Ready-aim-fire. Ready-aim-fire.
#StopPutinNow
109 children killed at #war.
109 strollers in #Lviv.
We won't forget. And definitely won't forgive.
#StopPutinNow
🇹🇼Our team learned today how to say "Thank you, Taiwan!"
Thank you for 3 more powerful generators. Thank you for your support! 谢谢台湾
Putin promised to have military parade on the central street of #Kyiv a week after invasion. Today, almost 6 months of #war, we exhibit here the destroyed russian weapons and war machines. A sign that we are still here. And we will win! #StandWithUkraine
It hurts a bit less when you know that russia will definitely collapse.
Dear American 🇺🇸 people, thank you for being our allies in the fight against evil and #tyranny. Thank you for your experience, support, and more. We share the same values, we aim for the same goal - free democratic world. Happy #IndependenceDay2022! ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇸
This is an honest picture of how my life looks like now. I did 5 countries in 7 days and more to come. We need #weapons, we need #sanctions, we need #money. Our country needs to win the #war. And everyone of us is doing the best for it to happen soon.
#Nomad #Congresswoman
One of the remarkable things we see is how #pets are being treated during this war. Rescued, fed, saved, evacuated.
"We fight for life. And this is part of life" - soldier tells me. Parts of life are purring and eating sausage.
