According to the Mariupol City Council, about 300 people died in the theater bombing. The AP, in its own investigation, concluded that up to 600 people died. Today, Russia opened its own theater there, destroying evidence of one of its greatest war crimes during the full-scale war.

Literally no silent nights in Ukraine (tonight we have hundreds of drones and missiles). All these quotes that peace is SO CLOSE are bullshit. Russia understands only language of power, never language of diplomacy.

This is our night today. For those who in Kyiv. Red title as a target for Russian army. Very loud. It was fire and destruction near our house, but still it Is Ukraine who need to agree to barbaric conditions to end this war. Not the aggressor who start it.

Cherkasy, Ukraine. Parents are lighting up a soccer field with car lights for their kids to be able to have their usual practice and live kind of “normal” life. Russians can destroy our electricity but they can’t destroy our love and light inside Ukrainians. Credit to Olena Shabunina.

That was the night in Kyiv. Son's school has no windows on the first floor. Kids go for learning anyway. Diplomats will talk about how they were disturbed. Soldiers will fight for our land. Russia still exists.

Night in the metro, Kyiv. Ukrainians = values, love, humanity. Russians—everything is the opposite. Video from UNICEF, Ukraine.

The other hard night in Ukraine because of Russia. Our “flight radar”, but with drones and missiles.

This isn’t just a new tattoo. It’s a symbol of the Evil Mavka - resistance movement of UA women during the Russian occupation. It’s my sign of respect for the incredibly heroic women who do not give up in the most difficult life circumstances, and believe in Ukraine even more than the rest of us.

This is the Ukrainian Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka - the “Not for Sale” Store — a 52 m² space where nothing is for sale, but everything has meaning. Each object is a metaphor, each barcode reveals a true story. For example, a lamp tells of Ukrainian energy workers restoring power under fire.

When you ask Ukrainians “How are you?”, you will always hear as an answer “I’m fine”.

Putin and Patriarch Kirill: scare the world with nuclear weapons. Ukrainians: creating a bunch of memes to make fun of a nuclear explosion. Words on the picture: when I was laughing at the memes about World War III, and suddenly the sun started to rise at 9 PM

On December 5, I'll be in Warsaw to talk about Stopfake.org, Russian disinformation, how it has changed with the full-scale war, and, of course, about AI. Come or pass the information on to anyone interested!

A lot of disinfo is spreading about the allegedly new Ru ballistic missile Oreshnik. One of the fakes - alleged video of this missile's flight on 11/21, but it's the flight of the Soyuz-2.1a, which was launched from the Baikonur also on 11/21. “Space Jellyfish” is also an important detail here.
