Ukrainian energy workers are absolute heroes.
They repair power lines under shelling, at night, in freezing rain, so our cities can have light again.
No one in Europe would risk their lives like that.
Thank you, energy heroes. 🔥❤️ #Ukraine

They had three children, and the boy was the youngest.
After the father came back from russian captivity, they finally bought this house so the little one could walk to school.
Last night, that house was destroyed.
The father is now in intensive care.

I just learned that tonight russians killed a 7-year-old child.
But that’s not the whole story.
Her father spent three years in russian captivity, tortured, starved, forgotten, and came home only this year.
And now he’s gone, killed in a night attack.

Last night russia hit Lviv, one of the biggest missile and drone attacks on western Ukraine. At least 5 people killed, dozens injured. Now they’ve started a new massive drone attack on Kharkiv. It never ends.

Maybe it’s strange, but I googled plane and train tickets home, just in case. It helps me stay calm.

New russian rocket and drone attacks are starting. I see the launches on monitoring channels. My partner refuses to go to the shelter and just goes to sleep. I’m far away and can’t do anything, just watching the channels and calling after each launch.
Just an ordinary day for Ukrainians.

russian troops keep shelling towns and villages in the Donetsk region. Civilian buildings are burning again, homes, schools, hospitals. There are no “military targets” here. Just people trying to survive another day

In Ukraine, there were thousands of women who were smarter, more talented, and better than me. They should stand on this stage today. But russia killed them. Some are now in captivity.

Before the full invasion, I was just a civilian social worker. I never thought I would be a soldier. But I had to go and fight.

All I want is that German psychologists, teachers, and lawyers never have to go to the army. Never die in war.

For this, please support Ukraine now.

Just yesterday, someone told me to speak less about the war. They said Germans are tired of it. But last night, russian drones flew over Munich airport.

So I ask you: do you think today it is acceptable to talk about the war?

Today I am in Munich at a demonstration in support of Ukraine. German politicians and cultural figures came to stand with us.

I am on a bus to Munich to speak at a demonstration. Just yesterday, I was told to talk less about the war because Germans are “tired” of it. Last night, russian drones flew over Munich airport. Do you think today it is acceptable to talk about the war?

Russia struck Ukraine’s energy system near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, cutting off its power supply. This could have triggered a new catastrophe, endangering Ukraine, Belarus and Poland. This time it was fixed in time but no one knows what comes next. #Chornobyl #RussiaIsATerroristState
