Greetings from Kyiv!

The night was calm.
I had a workout,
and now I’m having a warcoffee;
thinking my eyes need beauty.
Exhibition later.

How are you?

I feel like the latest Tomahawks circle jerk is another stall tactic by trump and putin
making promises and then pulling out at the last moment or giving an indefinite extension

to end the war putin could try ending the war

Trump says Putin should 'do something' to end war in Ukraine, cites 'a million and a half' Russian losses

"I mean, I had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin, but he just doesn’t want to end that war," Trump said during a meeting with Argentina's President Javier Milei on Oct. 14.

1/ Yesterday, I posted several pieces of information about the mayor of Odesa, who holds a russian passport.

Now we finally have the answer to why Odesa has been hit so hard and relentlessly by russia — because the city administration is led by a russian citizen.

UKRAINE HAS ‘CUT OFF’ CRIMEAN FUEL SUPPLY

Attacks on Feodosia port terminal and storage have been severe that fuel supplies into Crimea have been effectively cut off. Attacks on refineries on the mainland and their transport routes have caused almost complete delivery paralysis on the peninsula.

Some days I wake up calm.
Other days I wake up already tired of surviving.

You make coffee, check the news,
Pretend it’s a normal morning -
Until another explosion reminds you
that “normal” doesn’t live here anymore

Yet I don't hear a lot of discussion about WW3. Perhaps there's confusion over what this was going to look like?

China has sharply increased its supply of key components - fiber-optic cables and lithium-ion batteries, among other drone components - needed to make the fiber-optic drones to Russia, The Washington Post reports.

Your hand strokes the neck. You shudder at first touch. It’s a satin finish. It’s smooth. It’s a tantalizing flame maple. The edges of the fretboard are rolled. The frets dressed & smooth. The body? A slightly aged sunburst nitro. The hardware? Steel. OMG the knobs!

You cannot wait to plug it in.

Imagine that!!!

A 74 year old man got kicked out of #Latvia for not knowing Latvian...after living there since 1971 🤦🏼‍♀️

And now he’s proudly applying for a #ruZZian passport.

Fifty-four years in the country and didn’t bother to learn the language 💩💩💩

This was a U.N. HUMANITARIAN CONVOY, headed to Kyiv with supplies for bomb damaged residents.
Russia hit it with drones.
This is Russian culture.
Genocide.

Remember this and the schools, hospitals, and children's centers, etc. that Russia bombs.

I have no empathy for a terrorist state.
NONE.

Ukraine Support 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @blue24world.bsky.social · 1d

🇪🇺 Kallas handed over several dozen units of equipment for border guards. In 2024–2025, the EU has already handed over 40 vehicles

Considering how much the losses of vehicles on the front have increased, the pickup trucks that Kallas brought are a significant help

Maybe such posts seem boring,
but their goal is simple –
