This is so inspiring. A reminder of what is at stake and who are behind the army that changed the war dynamics forever: true, brave humans. Slava Ukraini!
After watching his war anniversary statement, I wished more world leaders could speak with a tenth of his clarity and dignity.
Anton, I can't answer with enough strength and dignity, as you and all Ukranias, from the comfort of home and after crime after crime is committed by a genocidal state. What I could say is that your posts are for me a beacon of humanity in a sea of darkness and I can't thank you enough for that.
They could have avoided that deserved fate by choosing not to attack a sovereign country. This is pure karma.
A headline that tries to show the actual aggressor as the victim makes me question the editorial line of this paper.

These "what to do" headlines strike me every time, not because they seem curious, but because these reflect how hollow and zombied ru society truly is, to a degree of needing media (and gov) to tell you what to do, even for the most mundane things. I'm sure more than one follow these to the letter.
Again, a terrorist state committing war crimes, documented everyday for all to see. Negotiations with these brutes is futile. How useless and shameful a world organization like UN is, allowing actions that is meant to avoid. Others are simply not doing enough for Ukraine. My condolences.
Negotiations with russians is like discussing terms with a burglar who killed your wife, took your children and lives in your backyard. They want to "negotiate" to save face of their atrocities. The only "dialog" viable is force, giving Ukrainians all they need to fight these criminals.
For auld lang syne...
I feel that my support messages and best wishes are minuscule when compared to the courageous Ukranian spirit, but I still wish you a bright and hopeful 2026 Kate! 🎇
russians: "We only target military targets"
I can't find anything more despicable in this world than ru.
How can someone think that negotiation is viable with these brutes?
What a moving performance, emboldened under this painful setting. A compelling reminder of the Ukranian character elements: resilience, resourcefulness, bravery, thoughtfulness and based on principles. Values that russia will never have, and always fear. I see a bright future for Ukranians.
Russia is using terror and pain as a strategy. What a waste and cancerous country it is for the whole world. But history is being written right here, with facts. My condolences Kate. Slava Ukraini!
Dear Kate, you inspire the free world with your strength, bravery and resilience. Being Ukranian has a deep meaning for me that reaches the essence of the free and principled human essence. We truly share your pain as our own. 🫂
Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of the Center for Civil Liberties, spoke at De Balie in Amsterdam about the role of citizens in war, Russian aggression, and the fact that occupation is not peace.

I ran to buy these two books. Both essential to read right now.

Anton, Ukranian brothers, you keep inspiring the whole world with your courage, resilience and principled actions. All I can say is that we feel your pain as our own, and freedom pays, as it always does. Blessings.

Ya no es tema. Mejor: "How long will Mexico's authoritarianism last and what civil society can do to outlast it?"
People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
La libertad se construye con la verdad y para poder verla en redes sociales necesitas entender quién eres, si no, te convertirás en la herramienta de alguien más.
