The moment a drone or missile whistles nearby, 🇺🇦 women instantly become a shield for their children—covering them with their bodies, holding them tightly, covering their eyes and ears, comforting them. Every Ukrainian mother, sister, & grandmother is always ready to become a shelter. Thread 1/5🧵

"Stop the russian occupation of Oleshky!" "Increase pressure on the russian Federation, ensure humanitarian access to the city, and guarantee the safe evacuation of civilians!"

Ukrainian city of Oleshky in Kherson region under occupation: people in Brussels call on Europe to act, not stay silent.

War is always saturated with the most negative moments, which I try to smooth out for the world by showing and telling about life in Ukraine. I don't lay claim to being the best writer or the voice of Ukraine; I write the best I can, and often the way not only my mind, but also my soul, tells me to.

Right now, I'm just restraining myself as much as possible not to write a lot of... a lot of bad words here. …this is the heart of Ukraine, Kyiv today, people were just saving their lives, climbing out of a second-floor window, these are the first minutes after the russian strike on the building!

russian bastards are just mocking the residents of Ukraine in plain sight of everyone who can see and hear in this world. I don't even know how to describe all these horrible videos from the cities of my country-in this case, the heart of Ukraine, which the russians are working hard to destroy.

...it was yesterday, on the coast of Odesa; Ukrainians here know how to distract themselves from the sounds of war. Just a melody, just the sound of the sea, just like-minded people around you who simply want to love and live in peace with themselves and with everyone else on our beautiful planet.

…Another evacuation of elderly residents from the town of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region. In these footage clips, 79-year-old Ella Khvostenko picks up a note dropped to her by soldiers of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

In the village of Pytomnyk in the Kharkiv region, a russian strike UAV attacked a civilian car carrying a man and a woman as they headed to their village. As a result of the strike, the vehicle caught fire. The man behind the wheel died at the scene. The woman managed to escape.

Another Night in Kharkiv. All these Ukrainians that you can see in the video, and those who remained off-screen, lost their homes tonight-homes where they had planned to spend the winter that will soon arrive here.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

…the russians did this yesterday morning, and yes, they don't care about any red lines. It was a residential building, and a small number of people who hadn't evacuated yet lived here. Also, this apartment building housed the office of the Proliska humanitarian mission.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

... evacuation from the city of Kramatorsk. Ukrainians are leaving the city, some already have, some are still thinking about it, and others are finding a suitable city according to their finances and capabilities. Winter is approaching, and for us in Ukraine, this is the most difficult period.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The Ukrainian city of Siverskodonetsk is located in the Luhansk region. Before the full-scale russian invasion, it was a modern, green, and developed city with a population of about 100,000 residents-just think about that figure...

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

...And Kramatorsk again. And again Ukrainians are sitting outside their destroyed homes. Today, the russians dropped four FAB-250 aerial bombs on the city. As a result of the attack, a 58-year-old man was killed, and there are also injured people.

The Ukrainian town of Maryinka was located in the Donetsk region. Before the arrival of russian troops, it was a cozy, green, and peaceful town with a population of about 10,000 people. This is what it means to neighbor russia...

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

… right here, in these houses, peacefully sleeping people were killed by the russians. Ukrainian volunteer from Kharkiv, Oleksandr Pidhornyi, shows and tells us about this, having visited the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk in the Donetsk region today.

"Light always defeats darkness, no matter how long the night. And in the steel eyes of Ukrainians, this light will never go out. Please don’t get tired of believing in us - we won’t let you down."

16 apartments burned down. Just imagine how many people - in just one single night, in just one single building! - lost their homes and belongings. The familiar phrase "everything is in your hands" has lost its meaning here in Ukraine. Here, life is in the hands of war.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The house was shaking. I grabbed my cat and ran out of the apartment in just my bathrobe and slippers. All of us, along with our neighbors and children, first ran into the stairwell…”- says Iryna, a resident of the damaged building.

Kramatorsk. The city center is heavily destroyed due to russian shelling. Life is increasingly difficult to call human, a life where people simply have nowhere and no way to live anymore. More and more families are making the hardest yet most important decision - to evacuate.

22013

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Man, it’s tough. But you can't tear what's in your heart out. Ukraine is in our hearts. Keep your chin up, we'll get through this.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

We cannot let people forget this, forget what the russians did in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. The russians literally destroy everything they touch. What you are seeing is direct proof of how my people would continue to live in their cities without the russians-peacefully and calmly.

2016: the city lives its life. 2026: only the name and videos of past years are left of the city, the russians are in the city now. The Ukrainian city of Myrnograd.

Don't you dare tell me you had a bad morning and day today. This is Odesa, yesterday this building was intact. Ukrainians live there, and the russians know this very well. Day after day, year after year... The russians do… the world watches…

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

66 cats, 15 dogs, and three people - all together, they left the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk. A couple ran a family-type animal shelter where they took in dozens of homeless animals and cared for them every day despite the danger.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It’s another evacuation - unfortunately, a routine one by now. It’s hard to count how many people are leaving on their own or escaping with the help of the police and volunteers from dangerous towns and villages, especially in the Donetsk region. This happens every day.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The video shows Kramatorsk, one of the Ukrainian cities. Local residents see every day what russian soldiers are doing here with their attacks and shelling. Those who could not endure such a life left the city for their safety and can only watch from afar what their hometown looks like today...

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The Ukrainian city of Bakhmut - before the russians weren't there, and after they came. Now the city's name is rarely mentioned; it has faded from the news cycle. Today, other cities in my country are fighting for their survival, just like the locals who live in them.

…Sumy, right now. russian orcs struck an industrial zone and a residential area with guided aerial bombs. Six people were injured, including a 14-year-old girl. One of the bombs completely destroyed a house, but the family managed to take shelter and everyone survived.

This is a Ukrainian woman named Yana, one of those who managed to survive after a russian drone attack on the center of the city of Pavlohrad on September 10, though she received numerous injuries. One day in the life of Ukrainians…

This video shows Stepne village in the Kramatorsk community, one of the places in the Donetsk region. That is why Vitalii Dubrovskyi and his small team come to them whenever possible.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Odesa today... Without further ado. And yes, the russians did it.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Today at around 10:55 AM, the russian army dropped four FAB-250 aerial bombs equipped with universal planning and correction modules on the city of Kramatorsk. As a result of the attack, a multi-story residential building suffered significant destruction, and people were trapped under the rubble.

2019: Druzhkivka, there are no russians. 2026: Druzhkivka, the russians are very close.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Ukraine... evacuation... In a settlement where not a single surviving house remained, a single resident stayed behind, an elderly, blind woman who could not move on her own. The road ran across a field uphill, but the police did not stop, overcoming the difficult and dangerous path.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

A reminder to the rest of the world: we are still here, in Ukraine. russians continue to take the lives of Ukrainians literally every day, every hour. Year after year. And none of this would be happening if the invaders had stayed in their own homes and had no desire to come into someone else's.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This is the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. What you see in the video are the aftermath of today's russian FPV drone strike on a civilian car. russians kill, and the world continues to watch. And my people live with this realization every single day.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Early this morning, russians shelled the city of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region. An apartment building was destroyed and three others were damaged. In addition, a hotel building. Day after day, year after year... The russians do… the world watches… and that’s how we live in this world.

"While we have the opportunity, we will keep going to the Ukrainian towns and settlements in the Donbas where help is needed the most. While we can help, we will keep helping. Donbas is Ukraine 🇺🇦.» This is Shabelkivka, a settlement in Ukraine, in the Donetsk region.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The world is a strange thing. As soon as we let something into our lives, it always gains momentum and scale. We didn't invite war here, but the russians forced it to our doorstep. Yes, this is a human world, and we Ukrainians are right at the epicentre of these events.

23416

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This is one of the many buildings in the city of Odesa tonight. Burning because russia wants it this way. The very essence of all the injustice in this world. Why are we, Ukrainians, forced to see this at night in our cities...

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Ukraine. Today, the sky does not belong to birds. An ordinary day. The sound of an engine overhead, and beneath it, peaceful streets... peaceful people. Seconds to react, to take cover from the blast and shrapnel. Every shelter has become a home, and every survived day, a small yet still a victory.

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Residents of Kyiv barely have time to recover from one strike before russia launches the next. Today, another drone attack has once again stolen peace of mind from Kyivans: people and an apartment building have been injured. Among the residents of the destroyed homes were ordinary pensioners...

This machine was created for entirely different tasks, but today it carries love. This is all of Ukraine right now: between air raid sirens and the routine of war, a whole ocean of roses blooms in the truck bed. Please don't stop speaking out, believing in Ukraine, and supporting it 🌹🇺🇦

Katerina Horbunova @blue-eyed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

For five years russians have been killing Ukrainians, and the world is still more interested in what Trump will say tomorrow. Look at what the russians did yesterday in the city of Pavlohrad! These are the first minutes after russia's strike on the city.
