A series of explosions rocked Kyiv on March 25 as Russia launched yet another missile attack on Ukraine’s capital. The building hit was the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts, and the academy's gym and concert hall were destroyed. An employee was wounded (c)

[Edit today we know that more than 100 are dead, including children, oh and it took police an hour to do sth, great!]

In case you don't know yet, hundreds of people were in a famous concert hall with their children when terrorists entered the building, killed security, went on a fucking stage and started to shoot at people. They threw grenades, set fire to the building. And it basically happened in Moscow.

At least 60 people died, more than 140 people are injured. One child died for now and lots of kids are still in the hospital with severe damage. We still don't know the exact numbers.

And it turns out that our government and some other kinda knew about some planning attacks. Which is absolutely great and cool and awesome.

Armed people are walking on city streets and nobody cares, they would certainly care if they saw a rainbow sign on someone, cause it's an absolutely valid reason to send special forces on them. But armed people? What harm might they cause

Goodnight indeed. My family and friends are safe, but we don't feel safe anymore.

"On 7th of January Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov and his ginger cat were killed by rssian army on the frontline. He was 33 years old. He was writing poems about the war and his loyal cat friend, while protecting his homeland. He could create so much if russia would not start this unjust horror.

Every time something inside me dies when I see news like this. Every Ukrainian from the beginning of their time in school learns about Executed Renaissance - when on the beginning of 20th century a lot of Ukrainian artists, writers, poets were chased and executed by Soviet Union for creating works in Ukrainian and expressing their national identity. Now it’s happening again, same evil, but under different flag. Besides occupation of our land russia also often talks about how Ukraine is fake country with fake language, they burn our books on occupied territories, mock us, our POWs for the fact we’re ukrainian. They were mocking us even before the invasion, I grew up with watching it on social medias myself. And now a lot of authors can’t create because of the war, russia kills them on frontlines, in their homes, russia purposefully targets objects of civilian infrastructure to leave us without heat and electricity. It pisses me off every time when I see russian “culture” being praised by the foreigners, knowing that it’s made on blood of other nations. Either 100 years ago or now. Because while russian authors can live and create, we have fight for our survival.

Before being killed by russia Maksym published his last poem, where he told about how his body will grow as violets after his death. Every time it’s hard to draw something about the war, I feel literally empty afterwards but I just felt it would be right thing to do. It’s awful that our artists have to go through all of this, so damn unfair, and I keep telling myself that justice is waiting for them but I can’t even imagine what has to happen, everything feels not enough.

Please support Ukrainian authors, until it’s too late."
