These days there’s so much talk of a nightmare waiting for Kyiv: we’ll freeze with no water or electricity, and strikes on bridges connecting the two banks will cause a logistical collapse… I don’t say times are or will be easy. But I stay in Kyiv. This panic benefits russia.

💶 russia plans €180bn for "defence" in 2027. Over a third of its budget! While our governments bicker over guns vs butter, citizens like you & me are crowdfunding for those holding the line. GUR's Timur group needs a truck, and we're 40% there! Join us ⤵️

Yesterday I sent a letter from Kyiv. In it, I looked at three wartime accounts from WWII to find an answer to what we call the middle of a war. Each letter can be the last one. And it’s a reality we live in here.

“Those who go into the light” by Ihor Husev. This series features cats and dogs adopted by his unit in the winter 2025-2026, as strays were drawn to the warmth of the field stove. The fuel for the stove was old soviet propaganda. Husev uses them as canvas for his strays.
