On the “credibility deficit” of Ukrainians on the ground, which is mirrored by the “excess credibility” of Western experts and journalists, some of whom are Russianists, others just idiots. From @dovzhyk.bsky.social www.iwm.at/publication/...

When Library Turned Arsenal On killing as the ultimate act of censorship, and how western instutions can help Ukrainians fight against the erasure of Russia's making.

“When it comes to censorship, looking for dissenters in a dictatorship seems to be the prescribed direction of travel for observers in the west. Ukraine — a country which rose against dictatorship and is being massacred for this very act — doesn’t fit the bill”

My dear friend @mariiashuvalova.bsky.social (pictured 💙) is raising 50k UAH for an armoured vehicle for the Azov battalion. In the summer her family friend disappeared after his unprotected tank ran over a mine. Let’s protect those Ukrainian defenders we still can.

I was privileged to speak to @biannagolodryga.bsky.social for the Amanpour show on CNN on why maintaining and increasing support for Ukraine as it fights against ru genocidal invasion is crucial. Grateful for the opportunity to spread awareness of our existential battle. t.co/RWBAr1nYYw

Opinion | I’m a Ukrainian, and I Refuse to Compete for Your Attention Ukrainians have been infantilized by the need to vie for international interest.

“This high-stakes storytelling infantilizes Ukrainians: It turns us into children vying for the adults’ attention. Our allies play the role of easily distracted, perpetually fatigued spectators who cannot face the unadorned truth.” Great op-ed by @dovzhyk.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2023/11/07/o...

Our bilingual Ukraine Lab essay collection is out & orderable! Arising from the UIL writing residency, it foregrounds fresh voices and employs the art of storytelling to explore global challenges in security, environment and disinformation through the prism of Ukraine.
