To be Ukrainian online is to wake up in war and be asked to prove it happened
To mourn — and be told it was theatre
To speak — and be told you said too much
To be alive — and be blamed for it
This is what it means to be Ukrainian online
This is why I write

As russia heads the UN Counter-Terrorism Office, its military in Kherson is using civilians to practice flying FPV drones — turning it into a horrific #HumanSafari and sharing videos of drones striking civilian vehicles.

As a Ukrainian refugee in Germany, I’m shocked by the inaction and calmness with which NATO countries treat drones flying over their territories. In Ukraine, we too once refused to believe russia’s full-scale invasion was possible. I hope you will not realize the danger too late.
