A Moral Dilemma
Російський протест має бути піднятий до рівня революції проти злочинності останнього російського царя, тому що народне життя в Росії стало нестерпним. Нам потрібно стимулювати цю революцію.

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 16 (11.03.2022)
The day began with an air raid siren at 4:30 AM. In short, this is the favorite time of the Russian attacks – after waking up to begin pounding on the city. Actually they were keyed up this morning and into the evening. Traditionally, the most actively shelled were Northern Saltivka and the numbered micro districts of Saltivka, but today Derhachi and parts of Oleksiyivka and Pavlove Pole also experienced a lot of shelling.

Nonsense Rhetoric

Plan of Action against companies doing Business in Russia
Every individual can become a part of this effort from the comfort of his/her own home. We have witnessed the limits of diplomacy – both in speed and scope of action. Civil society is not bound by the same set of rules and this is how we can play an active and effective role.

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 13.
For the first time in 13 days, it’s quiet in the city. It feels weird. The pause allows for more active evacuation of those who have decided to leave the city and to bring in supplies for the military, medicine, food, and more. As city residents have noted, thanks to the lower intensity of shelling, deliveries of food and other necessities are gradually improving.

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 12 (07.03.2022)
The night began with an air raid and shelling. The hottest was in Saltivka and Oleksiyivka. In Saltivka the strikes and shells went all the way to the Novoslatovsky market – near TRK Ukraina, which is already on the border between the microdistrict and Saltivka settlements (private or two-, three-storey buildings).

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 10.
Today’s shelling was more intense than yesterday. Hot neighborhoods again: Saltivka, Northern Saltivka, Rohan, Horizon, New Houses and the village of Zhukovsky. According to the City Council, the restoration of heat in the village of Zhukovsky, in KHAI, in Pomirky, as well as in MZhK “Internationalist” (Krychevsky) will only be possible after the war. Communications there have been destroyed.

Further action plan
In a previous writing I referred to a metaphor of us being like ants which I borrowed from a Ukrainian in southern Ukraine under constant fire. If we follow that paradigm and each work tirelessly, doing simply what we are meant to do, we will prevail. And Ukraine and the world will be saved. That is not hyperbole.

Appeal to the world
There are 65 million of us Ukrainians all over the world, and there are already hundreds of millions of us who have become Ukrainians in recent days by vocation of spirit and conscience.

Kharkiv. Chronicles of the Attack on the City. Day 6.
It was a complex and difficult day, first of all mentally. There were many people killed and wounded. It’s an extermination of the city, a genocide. But Kharkiv is hanging on. The mood is optimistic. The enemy cannot win—they’ll have to flatten the entire city.

In two waves this morning (February 28, 2022), Russian forces fired artillery and multiple launch rocket systems (known as “Grad”) on my neighborhood Saltivka—a regular residential neighborhood, the largest in Ukraine.
There is virtually no industry here, only a few small-company offices.

Cheap talks are not enough: Ukraine must become stronger, not weaker, following each aggression episode
Many minds are now aiming to understand Putin’s goals and to design a tactic for responding to Putin’s pressure. Ukrainian MPs and authorities are often asked how they see Ukraine can be supported. Here a perspective is shown which probably has insufficient attention in the discussions.

The Stage is Set
The European Union should be prepared to demonstrate its integrity. As such it should encourage all of the member states to declare support both to Ukraine, which faces a threat of military invasion, as well as Poland and Lithuania who are in the first line of defence toward the hybrid threat of forced migration by the Lukashenka regime.
