Just received a print copy of Ordinary Guy at War, written by my dear friend @dim0kq.bsky.social. I already knew his story personally and had read the digital version, but the book still revealed many fascinating details. A bold and touching story by a wonderful person.

The anatomy of Russian genocide was forged centuries ago. A friend of mine serving in the Ukrainian army, deeply into history, recently told me a story I had never heard. He told me about Ubykhs who we erased by Russians centuries ago.
Pyotr Gruzinsky. The mountain people’s abandonment of the village as Russian troops approached

Ukraine never received cheap gas from Russia. For most of the post-Soviet era, Kyiv paid prices at or above what Western European nations paid, even though it sat directly on the pipeline and provided the transit corridor that made Russia's gas empire possible🧵

Four years revealed Russia as a disgraceful, hollow colossus on clay feet. Four year showed the extraordinary courage of ordinary Ukrainians fighting for the right to be Ukrainian. Four years exposed corrupt Western elites and the sincerity of people who truly stand with us.

I’ll be honest, February was tough for us, especially with high electricity bills and power outages. We’re currently waiting for components and in the meantime developing new products for Ukrainian defenders. Your support truly means a lot 🤗 PayPal: hello@syaivo.tech

Ukrainians recall asking NATO to close the sky over Ukraine with laughter and embarrassment. In a viral Instagram video, iamdonskikh says he feels ashamed for once asking NATO to protect Ukraine from Russians. In the comments, many share the same feeling. Why is that?

On the morning of February 18, Russians destroyed a 1957 locomotive and an antique carriage with a drone strike. I saw that beautiful train in Haivoron several months ago. It’s used only for celebrations. Just an ordinary Russian desire to destroy and kill. Fucking barbarians.

Whatever IOC wanted to do for their Russian patrons it didn’t work. Vladyslav Heraskevych received much more than a medal. He is a hero, he is being supported by the most wonderful people. Money will not help hide the Russian crimes.

I want elections. I think most Ukrainians want elections. But they were stolen from us. Not by Zelensky, but by the Russians. And instead stopping the Russian terrorist regime, Ukraine is being forced to put its citizens at risk and hold elections under fire.

One of best gifts for Putin is Western leaders trying to talk to him. Empty negotiations only legitimize a terrorist maniac, buy him time, and let him dictate terms. Keep negotiating and talks will turn to handing EU territory to Russia.

Switzerland has become a symbol of moral collapse. Jailing citizens for defending Ukraine while officials honor Russia’s most notorious thieves. Do these idiot politicians not grasp that if Russia reaches Europe, they will face basements, terror, and confiscation of everything?

From the start, Russia’s ceasefire was just a cover to reload missiles and stockpile drones. They will strike homes, kill children, and freeze elderly. This is what happens when criminals go unpunished and are instead welcomed into international sports and awarded for movies.

Rinat @riririri.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Fucking Groundhog Day. Russians kill train passengers with drones, kill people evacuating from an occupied village with FPV, and before that, hit residential building in Odesa killing a man… endless cycle of Russian crimes. And no consequences for Russia from the world.

Worse than yet another Russian terrorist attack that kills civilians are those who continue doing business with Russia rather than destroying it.

Volodymyr Zelensky presented Oleg Lyashko with a state award. Lyashko was a politician and now serves as commander of the unmanned systems battalion of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade. His words from 2015 are still relevant today ⬇️

Putin: “We gifted Crimea to Ukraine.” Trump: “We gifted Greenland to Denmark.” Even if that were true, how morally bankrupt must someone be to demand a “gift” back years later?

Our Syaivo workshop has received requests for more than 500 flashlights for defenders. Days are dark and there are electricity shortages. That is why I decided to start a fundraiser so that defenders can get flashlights faster. Thank you in advance for sharing and supporting⬇️

“Many things that would be right are illegal.” Shame on the Swiss government. No amount of money can justify shameful friendship with the Russians, let alone the disgraceful humiliation of its own heroic citizens.

Ukrainian railway workers are heroes and they need your support. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, almost 1,000 railway workers have been killed, over 2,800 injured, and over 720 have seen their homes destroyed. Please, support the fundraiser in the next post⬇️

By pushing Ukraine to surrender, the US is once again sending a clear message to all countries threatened by invasion from larger countries: they will be punished for attempting to defend themselves.

Rinat @riririri.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
The fact that Ukraine transparent, sincere, and accountable is, unfortunately, a huge disadvantage in today's world. Russians, who adapt reality as they see fit, even at the cost of outright lies, have chosen a more favorable strategy.

Russians destroyed the Zaporizhzhia-Kamianske railway station in my hometown of Kamianske. In 2017, this station was given back its historical name, which it received in 1884 and lost in 1924 after the Soviet occupation. No military objectives, just Russian terror.

Ukraine is breathtaking.

To understand the scale of the disaster Russia brought to Ukraine, it’s enough to listen to an ordinary Ukrainian. Recently, I watched a fascinating video about a high-tech Ukrainian pet food manufacturer, and in the comments, I came across a story that hit me hard.

Our flashlight survived the FPV attack 😬 The defender is safe, and that's the most important for us. We will send a new flashlight and take this one for research 😊

Syaivo received a token of gratitude from the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine — the 2nd Battalion, Echo Squad 🤗 It’s a great honor for us and another sign that our flashlights are truly needed and helpful in the toughest conditions. This token of gratitude is for everyone who supported us 💪

An idea for NATO countries whose airspace is being violated by Russian aircraft and drones: 1. Shoot them down. 2. Pretend you don't understand what happened. 3. Conduct numerous investigations. 4. Generate thousands of versions why it’s happened. 5. “It's not us.”

Thank you to everyone who supports Syaivo with donations and flashlight purchases. Your support is converted into new products for defenders.

Today is my birthday 🥳 My only wish is for Ukraine's victory and for all the defenders to return alive and well. Please support any transparent fundraiser or fund. For example, Come Back Alive, Sternenko, Dzyga's Paw, or my workshop Syaivo ⤵️

Vitaly Portnikov, a Ukrainian journalist, put it well: “In 2022, one of the main reasons why Europe refused to close Ukrainian sky was Russian planes with pilots were there. Why today it does not shoot down drones in Ukrainian airspace defies any logic.”

When the West is still scared of a huge gas station ruled by terrorists, it's getting harder to put frustration about this absurdity into words. So I decided to visualise it.

Rinat @riririri.bsky.social · 10/09/2025
NATO countries have failed to understand Putin's logic. He lives according to Russian prison concepts. He is a gopnik, a thug, a robber. He has no family, no wife, no kids. But most importantly, he despises weakness in his enemies. NATO feeds Putin with fear.

I think we don't recognize enough how Bulgaria has helped Ukraine. A huge number of shells and weapons were donated, which helped to fight the Russian invasion and reduce casualties among Ukrainians. The Bulgarians did this quietly, without pathos, but extremely effectively.

In 2022, Poland’s leadership felt an existential threat. That was the main reason they supported Ukraine so strongly at the time. When the war began to feel “far away,” came the politics: hostile statements, border blockades, and manipulations of history.

Russians and their apologists deny the Holodomor. At the same time, Russians are: 1. Stealing Ukrainian grain. 2. Burning Ukrainian fields. 3. Destroying Ukrainian grain elevators. 4. Killing Ukrainian farmers.

You should listen to Oleh Liashko's words from 2015. He's a Ukrainian politician who is now a battalion commander. His warning then is painfully relevant today. “Our partners must understand one thing: they will not solve the problem of Putin at the expense of Ukraine.” 🧵

Disgusting creature, Diana Panchenko spins her Russian master's propaganda again. When I was in high school, different specialists visited us, too. Firefighters, police officers and soldiers came to show their work. Sometimes they brought mock weapons or gear.

Why doesn't Poland demand reparations from Russia? Why did Poland forget about the murder of Kaczynski? Why do Poles attack their neighbours and allies while we have a common enemy?

“Yes, the Russians killed those children in Kyiv and have killed before... but the Ukrainians hit the Russian oil refineries! As much as 20%! Have you thought about it? The President supports peace, no matter whether it is on Russia's terms or on the terms of the Russians.”

The greatest horror that Russia brings with its war is its absolute disregard for any rules or morality. The Russians commit every war crime because they know their money and influence will buy them forgiveness.

Today is Moldova's Independence Day. Moldova is a beautiful, free, and strong country. For centuries, it has been a true friend of Ukraine. May Moldova succeed in everything, and may our common enemy finally perish.

Notice how the so-called artist painted the buildings. In Berlin, they look more damaged than in the other occupied city. Yet in reality, after the Russians, nothing remains. Cities are turned to ash. Still, they openly say both flags bring nothing but death and destruction.

Europeans still do not realise the scale of the threat Russia poses. You couldn't detect one drone. Weeks ago, almost a thousand of them were launched daily at Ukraine. Russia has been upgrading them for years and scales production monthly. Wake up.

Epic Ukrainian farmers🤯 A farmer from the Kherson region, Oleksandr Hordiienko, with an anti-drone gun. He "covers" the sky while his team works in the field. A car with EW on the roof has become part of the farm, helping to bring down Russian FPV drones flying over his land.
