Bohdan* was cycling on the bridge when the Russian aerial bomb hit. He got a concussion but helped others.

“Kherson can’t be broken, no one will break it...

You don’t hear about Kherson. We live in Ukraine. We didn’t surrender Kherson, and we won’t surrender it.

🔴 Starlink: My research confirms Russians systematically use Starlink all along the frontline.

SpaceX denies it.

This violates sanctions, even if obtained via intermediaries.

Also: Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink service as Ukraine retook Kherson. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Many thanks to @simonepeek.bsky.social for translating my poem about Kherson to Dutch and having it published in

Dutch language is very close to my heart. This means a lot.

2 killed, 8 injured yesterday in Kherson. Civilians.

These are the average numbers. So, up to 10 killed every week...

Below is a video of a regular street. How did it become a new normal?

Human safari is a war crime and a crime against humanity, confirm the UN and HRW.

Zarina Zabrisky, director behind Kherson Human Safari, spoke to Nadine Smith with guest co-host Stephanie Koff of Five 8 1/2: Mafia state, hybrid and other modern warfare, including Kherson and human safari

So grateful to @gregpalast.bsky.social and team for this great review and call to action.

"For Putin’s “useful idiots” who think it’s OK to deliberately incinerate civilians because somewhere back in time NATO considered admitting Ukraine, watch this now."

Many thanks to @antongerashchenko.bsky.social for helping to raise awareness about human safari and the destruction of Kherson. More in the documentary, see below.

Pravdyne is the place of true horror throughout the invasion. It was occupied and I have reported the following devastating story from there in December 2022 - w/ @DonArleth www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQKF...

🔴 Dmitryk, 14 months old, killed by a Russian strike drone in Pravdine, Kherson region at home. He was with his great-grandmother. -
@Prokudin__
, the head of Kherson Military Administration

Russia turned the Kherson region into a human safari park.

The world is silent.

Russian drone operators killed a bird, likely a rare white pelican. Reportedly, they did it for training.

And they had no problem with posting their crime online.

"The crime of inaction is worse than the crimes of aggression. When you know you can help and save lives, but fail to act, turn your back on cruelty or deliberately delay making the difficult decisions needed to help, evil prevails." - Hand Petter Middtun

"The brilliant documentary captures the lives of civilians hunted by drones, displaced by war, and bonded by resistance. War must never become the new normal. This film is a call to the global conscience. Watch it & risk being touched by it, or ignore it & choose indifference. 4

"It's premeditated murder. Using FPV drones, the Russian pilot sees the live video feed from the drone's camera... He knows exactly who he is targeting. A child. A woman. The Emergency Service. An ambulance. He knows. It's terror by drones." 3/

"Having survived the horror of occupation, including abduction, torture and arbitrary killings, Ukrainian children, women and the elderly are today exposed to evil on a scale and scope never before seen: They are being hunted, maimed or killed by Russian FPV drones." 2/

Many thanks to Hans Petter Midttun, a former Defense Attaché of Norway to Ukraine, International Security and Defence Analyst at Independent, for this review:

"The documentary you need to watch. The crime of inaction is worse than the crimes of aggression." 1/

Our crew is grateful for the endorsement of the film by the Head of the Kherson Military Administration Oleksandr Prokudin @Prokudin__ —and deeply honored by the response from the people of Kherson.

"72 minutes of truth."

Your truth and voices are at the heart of this film.
