This is happening right now!
Kyiv is under attack.
First, the power went out.
Now, the heating too.
-12 °C outside.

I want the world to know what russia does.

If you don't support @strategywoman.bsky.social yet, now is the moment. It's freezing -18 at night in Kyiv, only 4 hours of electricity, no heating, only cold water.
You'll get interesting information on the culture, history and beauty of Ukraine and her honest personal thoughts and feelings.
I know many awful things are happening in the world,
and chaos often prevails.

That’s why it’s so precious to see support and care for Ukraine
(especially in moments when it feels like we’re all alone in this).

There’s so much the world can learn from Ukraine.

Read some fragments of the personal diary of Yaroslava, who lives in Kyiv. After the latest attacks on the city's energy infrastructure, she lives in an appartment with almost no hearting and only 4 hours electricity a day, while it's freezing hard outside (- 12 °C). Can you imagine? No, you can't.
After the latest russian attack on Kyiv, I’m sharing extracts from my diary.

This is not news. It’s daily life.

Ukraine's fight for freedom doesn't come out of the void. Read this week's letter from @strategywoman.bsky.social to know more.
Ukrainian political thinking did not emerge yesterday, nor as a reaction to the twentieth century.

Read this honest and powerful letter by @strategywoman.bsky.social and become a supporter if you want to learn more about Ukraine.
This is my annual December 31 letter from Kyiv.

Not a year in review, but a commitment to educating the world about Ukraine and telling the truth where it is being erased.

Read about the fascinating way of life of the Cossacks. @strategywoman.bsky.social tells you all about it. Read her free letter and if you like it, do yourself a favor and become a supporter.
How did Ukrainian Cossacks begin the New Year?
Not with celebrations, but with responsibility and choice.

Please (please!) try to avoid messages like “Glad you are still alive/not injured”.
And tell others.
It hurts.

Kyiv is still under heavy attack.
No power, heating, water.
But we hold on.

Please read this interesting letter about Ukrainian traditions on Christmas Eve and get in the mood for Christmas. @strategywoman.bsky.social learns you all about those rich traditions. Read her free letter and if you like it, do yourself a favor and become a supporter.
Ukrainian traditions on Christmas Eve.

Many have faded over time,
but some are slowly returning, like the Didukh (I even bought one instead of a Christmas tree this year).

Can we reach the goal before Christmas? Yes, we can, if you donate for another truck, helping Ukraine in its fight for freedom and peace.
☺️ That grin = when the objective is in sight ☺️

We’re so close! You've been so generous!

While politicians are talking and hopefully make the right decisions, we keep fundraising for a truck for the Ukrainian army. Because we know one thing for sure: it is needed.
🇪🇺 I'm stressed. Today’s EU Council could be a make or break moment for Ukraine, and for our continent.

It all comes down to whether Europe still believes in standing together and is willing to act.

Dictators are watching... and I’ll keep raising funds for the defenders! 🙏🛻⬇️

Let's get a new truck rolling!
🗓️ End of year is a time to reflect.

2025 exposed the contradiction of democratic idealism: holding moral values without the will to enforce them.

I hope 2026 will be a year where virtue is matched with resolve.

In the meantime... let's get a new truck rolling!

🛡️ Freedom isn’t free.

It’s paid for in courage, sacrifice, and sometimes in burnt-out wrecks like these.

Help us send 1 life-saving #NAFO 🛻 to those who defend it every day.

Rewarding aggression isn't peace. What Ukraine needs is a just peace through strength. Help Ukraine get it by supporting this fundraiser.
🏷️ When "peace plans" are pushed by realtors, be ready to see a massive price per sqm of freedom.

These men drawing lines, calling it peace, and leaving others to pay the price, don't they know that rewarding aggression isn’t peace?

Only a just peace comes through strength 👇🔗

There’s an old Ukrainian folk tradition –
the ritual of leading the goat during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

My new Sunday Letter tells about it, along with a few of my reflections on the things I share.

Peace in Ukraine comes from stopping those who bomb civilians & erase borders. Let's get this fundraiser done before Christmas.
🎄 I put up a Xmas tree yesterday: lights, baubles… but no illusions.

Peace doesn’t come from wishes or carols. It comes from stopping those who bomb civilians & erase borders.

If you want your Christmas to mean something this year, help Ukraine keep fighting.

Next truck 🔗👇

Does Ukraine need lies, arrogance and violence? I don't think so.
Help Ukraine in its fight for just peace.
Only one third to go for a new truck. Every donation counts.
📰 Reading the news this morning, and here we go again: lies, arrogance, violence.

And I’m thinking: no, we don’t get to go numb. Solidarity is the answer. Solidarity is how we stay human.

Every gesture counts: help us fund a 🛻 for the defenders 🔗👇

What is on your Christmas list for Ukraine?
One thing you can help with is to get them a truck.
The right to exist as a free nation is one of the most fundamental political concepts.

If 🇺🇦 falls, sovereignty becomes negotiable everywhere.

That’s why we’re partnering up with @69thsb.bsky.social to provide a #NAFO 🛻 to the mortar battery of 153rd.

Help Ukraine in its fight for freedom!
💥 You see the wreckage behind the word FREEDOM?

That’s what the aggressor tried to bring to Kyiv. And what Ukraine answered with was courage & resolve.

They’re still holding that line today. Let's show Ukraine we understand what's at stake.

You can do something to defend freedom, dignity and rule of law. Let's work together to get another truck to the front. Ukraine is not only fighting for itself, but also for European values.
🇪🇺 This is my flag.
A symbol of freedom, dignity, rule of law.

Driving into Kyiv with it on my dashboard feels right.
Ukraine is defending the very values that Europe was built on.

If unity means anything, it means action!
Let's get a truck for the defenders of the 153rd 👇🏻

Lives matter. Your donation matters. Fund a truck for the Ukrainian army.
🚧 This wreck saved a life. I’m so grateful it did.

Frontline units lose vehicles faster than we can replace them.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your donation matters... it does! It’s the difference between coming home or not.

Let’s fund the next one.

1,500 km south = sun & beaches.
1,500 km east = missiles & blackout.

Same continent. Same century. Two realities.

Ukraine defends the peace we take for granted.
Let’s act like neighbours and stand with them.

In this letter @strategywoman.bsky.social shows us wonderful sculptures of the artist that created the figure on the Independence monument in Kyiv. If you like art, it is really worthwhile to read this free letter. If you would like to get to know even more about Ukraine, become a supporter.
In the center stands Berehynia –
the same figure that crowns the Independence Monument in Kyiv.

In my latest Sunday Letter (free to read), I shared what she represents,
the sculptor behind her, and more remarkable Ukrainian sculptures – especially War
