It’s a sculpture on the grounds of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. It brings together two symbols: A traditional Belgian house - a symbol of peaceful, cozy Europe. And hands in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, pierced by real bullets from the front - a symbol of a fighting Ukraine, defending Europe

When I enter an old building, the first thing I do is look up. Chandeliers and ceilings are my special love. This chandelier in St. Sophia Cathedral (built in 1037) is gorgeous. I don’t know which century it’s from. Ukraine is more than the war.

Zelensky sets 1,000-daily interceptor drones goal amid surging Russian attacks
Interceptors are designed to detect, track, and neutralize other drones or aerial threats — a capability Ukraine sees as increasingly vital to defend cities from Russian barrages.

Such times, such goals. President Zelenskyy announced a goal to produce 1,000 interceptor drones per day, given russia’s continued mass-drone warfare strategy.

A 'funny' (actually, not) thing is that amidst all these strange 'peace' negotiations, russia continues its attacks. Right now, half of Ukraine is on air raid alert. Drones. Lots of drones. putin's doves of peace.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

It is the moment when the Christmas Tree lights are on. I captured it earlier today on Sophia Square. Unfortunately, BlueSky doesn’t allow the publishing of longer videos. Anyway, some magic for you from Kyiv 😘

Odesa 💔 russians hit a residential area with a ballistic missile. Local media inform that as of now 8 people were killed and 18 were injured. Negotiate? With missiles?

No proper words. russians hit residential building in Sumy with ballistic missile. At this moment, there is information about 49 injured people and eight killed, among them children. The awful numbers (oh my, there are people, not numbers) rise every minute.
