I associate this winter with three things: cold, darkness, and gratitude. I am not mentioning Russian missiles and drones because they strike civil infrastructure all year round. That is why we in Kyiv are sitting at minus -17 degrees without heating, electricity, water, or communication. 1/1

Kremlin's false claim: “Ukraine is full of Nazis.”
Reality: Far-right groups got 2,15% and no seats support in 2019 elections. They have zero control over government or Zelenskyy.
In recent surveys, 55-80% of Ukrainian respondents reject giving up territory.
Don't be deceived.
