I think Westerners tend to forget (or never knew) that Ukraine's anti-colonial struggle didn't begin in 1990, or 2014, or 2022. It has been going on for centuries.
Today we honour the Heroes of Kruty — young Ukrainians who stood against a vastly larger russian force in 1918 to defend Ukraine's independence.
By holding back the enemy advance, they bought crucial time for the Ukrainian People's Republic to sign the Peace of Brest and secure intl recognition.

russia's victims are not nameless statistics. They are real people whose lives russia has violently cut short.
The Klochkovi couple tried to escape the occupied village of Hrabovske. They managed to travel 7km — before russians hunted them down and killed them.
Remember them.

The russian drone killed a couple in their home in the Bucha district last night. Their neighbour, RFERL journalist Marian Kushnir, rescued their 4yo daughter. He went back to help others, but the fire spread too fast.
This is unspeakable.

Five people were killed in the russian terrorist Shahed attack on an ordinary passenger train in the Kharkiv region. More than 290 people were inside.
Now imagine a train in your country being bombed with drones. Impunity always emboldens the aggressor.

Over the night, russians heavily bombed Odesa, sending there 50+ drones which targeted energy facilities and households. Tens are injured, more people may still be under the rubble.
This is a daily horror that ordinary Ukrainians are enduring 24/7. Trump wants to reward this w/ the Donetsk region.

My God. Another painful loss: after more than two weeks of fighting for his life, firefighter and rescuer Oleksandr Zibrov, 36, has succumbed to his severe wounds. He was critically injured during a russian double tap attack in Kyiv on January 9, the State Emergency Service reported.

Today, Ukraine's rescue community suffered a painful loss. During emergency response work at an energy facility in Kyiv, Oleksandr Pytaichuk, a high-angle rescuer was killed.
He stood between chaos and normal life — so homes could have light and heat. Oleksandr was only 31...

Kyiv's local authorities are evacuating elderly and low-mobility people living alone to boarding houses due to the lack of heating and electricity.
It's day XXX of russia's crime against humanity — one the free world could have stopped, but chose not to.

Unfortunately, the news of people dying of carbon monoxide poisoning or the explosion of gas tanks isn't rare these days. People were desperate to survive the subzero temperatures.
Make no mistake. They didn't die of an accident. Damn terrorussia killed them.

Five people, including a 1,5yo boy, were injured in the russian missile strike against Kryvyi Rih. Terrorists damaged a two-storey house.
Also, russians have just bombed another residential building in Dnipro. This is a horrifying reality Ukrainians are facing every day.

Ukrainian railway emergency repair teams from across the country, together with Lviv utility workers, have arrived in Kyiv to help local energy engineers restore light and heat to homes.
Honestly. This gives me far more hope and trust in humanity than any news from Davos.
