Please, when you see something written in Cyrillic, don't assume right away that it's russian. Russian is not the only language that uses Cyrillic. There are also Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Serbian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Mongolian.
It's a sensitive topic especially for us Ukrainians because russian language is a weapon. It's a colonial language, it's presented like one and only true slavic language, it erases and replaces other languages. Belarusian is literally on the verge of extinction because of russian. Ukrainian has been banned 134 times throughout history, it is still called a "village language", a dialect of russian. Russian colonialism is literally the reason why there are so many russian speaking people in Ukraine (I was one of them btw). Ukrainian is banned on russian occupied territories and people are getting in trouble or even killed for using it there, Ukrainian POWs in russian captivity are getting brutally beaten for speaking Ukrainian.
Like okay, I can get why there's this confusion, so here's a clue to understand that the language you're looking at definitely is not russian — the letter і. If you see ї (like i but with two dots) it's 100% Ukrainian. If you see j it's Serbian. Russian alphabet also doesn't have such letters as Ђ, Љ, Њ, Ў, Џ (dont confuse with Ц ). Yes, it's not always gonna be easy to detect that the language in front of you is not russian, but when you have trouble with it just ask or run it through any translation app and it'll probably tell you the language.
When people wonder about Ukrainians finding humor in the tragedy of the Moscow terror attack, it's crucial to understand the backdrop. For years, Russians have found amusement in the misfortunes of Ukrainian civilians, affecting every facet of Ukrainian life. Loss of loved ones, homes, and friends has been a harsh reality. So, before taking a moral stance from the comfort of homes thousands of miles away, without experiencing the Ukrainian plight, it's essential to grasp the depth of their struggle.
Two years ago, russian atrocities in Bucha were discovered.
The russians tortured and killed over 440 people in one small suburban town. More Ukrainians were killed in Bucha alone than russians in the whole 140 mln 🇷🇺 were pressed with criminal charges for “protesting war”.
The number was provided by russian OVD-info and the memorial organisations.
“Double tap” method, russians invented in Syria and now are using in Ukraine.
Double tap means hitting residential buildings with two consecutive missiles — the first one to draw rescuers to the scene and the second one to kill them.
«I wish I’ve never made this film. I wish Russia wasn’t occupying our cities. I wish for them to release all the hostages. But I can’t change the history, but you, most influential people could help us. Слава Україні»
russians once again prove that they are terrorists and criminals
«I wanted to give the camera to the owners, but couldn't find them. hope you can help» — journalists received this message from a Ukrainian soldier who found a stolen camera abandoned by russians running away from Ukrainian forces.
in addition to old photos of the Ukrainian family who owned this camera and several photos of the russians themselves, the journalists found a terrible video showing the russians capturing civilians, blindfolding them, tying them all together and chaining them up. adults, children and animals.
important clarification: this video was not shot on the camera mentioned in the message. that camera stolen by the russians just belongs to the residents of the village in the video!
full video with investigation ‼️
the russians kept the hostages in the basements for about a month without food and water, tortured them. this is what Ukraine will look like if our partners stop helping us.
we have already seen similar footage in which the russians led captured Ukrainians and then shot them.
it is scary to imagine what other russian crimes we are not aware of. please do not let russian propaganda push Ukrainians out of the information field. all these horrors can be stopped only by defeating russia. there can be no talk of any "negotiations" and peace agreements with russia. all that russia wants is to destroy Ukrainians as a nation. stand with us in this fight. stand with Ukraine!
