Very Good Morning! Several Large Explosions and Fires are raging at the Port in the Crimean City of Feodosia on the Coast of the Black Sea, following Ukrainian Strikes against what is reported to be Russian and Iran Naval Vessels carrying Munitions; the Ukrainian Air Force is claiming to have Sunk the “Novocherkassk” (BDK-46), a Ropucha-Class Amphibious Landing Ship during the Attack.

P.S. While Trump and other idle talkers cool their mouths by engaging in lies and political demagoguery, Ukraine is effectively destroying - the military resources of the criminal regimes of Russia and Iran....The only way to achieve peace is to completely destroy the Russian army, navy and industrial resources throughout the territory of Russia....

Today is Ukrainian Independence Day!!! And exactly 6 months since the beginning of the war.

If everything was like before, I would have been sitting with my family, celebrating together and thinking about the end of the summer. Planning how to study and where to go during weekends, talking and laughing. But instead I'm writing about the war and how to help our brave warriors online, while staying in Japan and shivering at loud noises, and my parents are hiding at home, because the whole day is filled with air raid danger.

Sometimes I feel like the last 6 months have been a scary dream. I keep on running from missiles in my own dreams, my brain plays phantom sirens and I'm really not used to people living their usual lives, without fear and without war trauma. How no windows are covered in tape to prevent damages from burst waves and how free and safe people are.

And I see more and more injustice from ignorant strangers online. How they blame us for staying alive and wanting not to die in war. How they shift the russia's fault to us and victimblame. How they fall to russian fakes and propaganda.

The fight never stops, my people on the battlefields and me online proving again and again that we deserve to live in our own sovereign safe independent country. We're a nation with thousands of years in history. Since 1000000 years ago, when the first humans settled on our lands, to 482 year a.d. when Kyiv was set, to 882 year a.d. when Kyiv Rus was proclaimed by our Duke Oleg, to 1649 when Getmanshyna was proclaimed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky, to 1917 when Ukrainian National Republic was proclaimed, to 1991 when our Independence was returned to us. The fight never stopped. We're still fighting. We are Ukrainians. And we'll never stop being ourselves and fighting for our rights, ourselves and our community.

Happy Ukrainian Independence Day to my fellow Ukrainians and to the rest of the world who supports and helps us. We'll win and when we win, we're going to work together for the better safer future. It's my hope and it's the truth, it's the light ahead of us, our fate. I'm glad to be together with you, that this tragedy made us unite, and I know that our justice and truth will prevail!

Shchedryck- Щедрик

…

As someone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas, I admit it’s not my favorite time of year for music. It’s the jingling tiny bells and the jolliness and I am just not down. But there’s this one song that I’ve been hearing forever that is just… different.

Today I found out that The Carol of the Bells is a reworking of a Ukrainian song that was popularized as a protest song during Ukrainian independence. Now it All Makes Sense because the song is in a scale associated with Balkan music (and found in Jewish and Roma music as well.) So it sounds like music to me.

It’s called Shchedryck, implying “bountiful” and is usually called in English “The Little Swallow.”

*This post has been updated because I spelled the English version wrong even though it was right in front of me. Also credit to the author Kristin Hunt. Full article: https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/carol-of-the-bells-shchedryk-ukraine-protest-song

Yesterday was the Day of the National Flag and today is the Independence Day of Ukraine.

Victory and peace to those of us who are alive on this day. Eternal glory to the heroes who died for us, our freedom and our home. We will not forget all those who have been killed. We will not forget who killed them, and we will never forgive it.

Be safe (as safe as you can be) and take care of yourself. Слава Україні.

Independence

Yesterday Ukraine celebrated Independence Day

On August 24, 1991, Ukraine declared its independence. It can't be said that this independence came easily to us. For centuries, we fought for independence. And now, we are also fighting for freedom. Our people are strong and determined not to give up. I believe that we will prevail in this struggle.

Thank you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for protecting our lives and Freedom

Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have come under fire for making the “dumbest remarks ever” about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s surprise trip to the US.

The Ukrainian leader is in Washington D.C., to meet President Joe Biden and give an in-person address to Congress.

The monumental meeting, which remained a closely guarded secret until Tuesday night, marks Mr. Zelensky’s first trip out of Ukraine since Russia declared war on the country 300 days ago.

While Mr. Biden tweeted that he was “thrilled” to welcome Mr. Zelensky to the US and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said America is “in awe of the heroism of the Ukrainian people”, some MAGA Republicans are less than impressed with the visit.

Mr. Trump Jr. took to Twitter to complain about Republican support for the Ukrainian defence effort and about Mr. Zelensky, who he branded an “international welfare queen”.

“Mitch McConnell actually said yesterday that most Republicans #1 priority is ... Ukraine,” he wrote.

“I have yet to meet a single Republican that thinks that, but I guess the disconnect between actual republicans and D.C. swamp rats shouldn’t surprise anyone.”

In a follow-up tweet, Mr. Trump Jr – whose father contributed zero to the US economy in the way of federal income tax in 2020 – added: “Zelensky is basically an ungrateful international welfare queen.”

His criticism was echoed by right-wing conspiracy theorist Ms. Greene who posted an eight-part rant about the US’s support of Ukraine.

In her scathing posts, the MAGA Republican congresswoman fumed about sending money to Ukraine and made a bizarre reference to a so-called “omnimonster”.

“Mitch McConnell helps pass a nearly $2 TRILLION Onnimonster so that he can hand a $47 BILLION dollar check to Zelenskyy when he shows up in D.C. today. But in my district, many families & seniors can’t afford food & many businesses are struggling bc of Biden policies,” she wrote.

Ms. Greene went on to claim that she is speaking on behalf of the American people – something many Americans were quick to dispute.

“The disconnected & totally oblivious government leaders & sheltered media all live in a bubble & only talk to each other,” the congresswoman tweeted.

“They’re so naive & ignorant they think my views are extreme but are totally blind and stupid to the fact that what I am saying is exactly how Americans feel.”

Her lengthy post came hours after she branded Mr. Zelensky – who refused offers to rescue him from Ukraine at the start of the war in order to stay and lead his nation’s defence efforts – a “shadow president”.

“Of course the shadow president has to come to Congress and explain why he needs billions of American’s taxpayer dollars for the 51st state, Ukraine. This is absurd. Put America First!!!” she tweeted.

Several social media users slammed the pair for their comments, pointing out their perceived hypocrisies.

One Twitter user mocked Mr. Trump Jr. for making “the dumbest remark ever” branding him a “daddy’s boy”.

“A daddy’s boy who met with a foreign adversary that was attempting to subvert an American election is daring to denigrate a true hero battling Putin & defending his nation from a genocidal war? This may be the dumbest remark ever from Junior. And that’s quite an accomplishment,” they said.

“Pal, look at that ‘queen’ and learn a few lessons about courage, decency, and what it means to be a grown-up,” chimed another person.

Others pointed to the irony of his comments coming hours after a report revealed how little tax his father paid while serving in the White House.

“Your dad doesn’t pay his taxes. Sit this one out, buddy,” the Lincoln Project tweeted to Mr. Trump Jr.

Ms. Greene – who faced renewed mockery this week over her past peddling of an antisemitic conspiracy theory – also faced backlash from Americans demanding she stop claiming to speak on behalf of them.

“NO NO NO NO YOU DON’T GET TO SAY HOW 'US' Americans feel. We really can’t stand you. I’m not trying to be mean but everyone I know starts laughing when your name is even brought up. DON’T SPEAK FOR US . YOU CAN HARDLY SPEAK FOR YOURSELF,” one person tweeted.

Others sought to school Ms. Greene that supporting Ukraine might be in the best interests of the US, with some branding her “selfish”.

“By helping the Ukrainians, we ARE putting America first. Fight the war there or we have to fight Russian in Europe except it will be Taylor Swift on the USO stage, not Glenn Miller,” one person tweeted.

Another person tweeted: “When I was growing up, I was always taught to put others before myself. I was taught not to be selfish. You republicans don’t think about others; you only think about yourself. Why don’t you just say it the way you mean it?”

The noise from the right-wing figures came ahead of Mr. Zelensky’s arrival in Washington D.C. for a visit that he says will strengthen Ukraine’s “resilience and defence capabilities” in the face of Russian attack.

Mr. Biden greeted Mr. Zelensky as he arrived at the White House before the two leaders sat down for a two-hour meeting.

Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Biden were then holding a joint press conference where they were expected to announce the US’s commitment to send an additional $2bn in security assistance to Ukraine, including the provision of the Patriot missile defence system.

On Wednesday evening, the Ukrainian president was due to deliver a joint address to Congress after accepting an invitation from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

As a show of gratitude for the US’s assistance during the war, Mr. Zelensky was expected to present Mr. Biden and Congress with a Ukrainian flag signed by Ukrainian soldiers.

Minął rok odkąd czerwone ścierwa żadne ziemi i krwi napadły na wolne państwo. Barbarzyńcy dopuścili się niezliczonych zbrodni w tym na ludności cywilnej. Moskiewskie bydło uderzyło na cywilizowany kraj i cały wolny swiat stoi w jego obronie.

Dobrze że wiele środowisk które naiwnie lub perfidnie liczyły na "bizness as usual" za krwawe ruble zostały zmuszone do zmiany nastawienia.

Wojna jest straszna ale dzięki niej kacpskie barbarium zostanie wreszcie odzielone na zawsze od cywilizowanego świata.

Ruskie bydło won za Don

Naród ktory popierał Stalina I popiera Putina

Cały czerwony bolszewicki burdel.

A half-body portrait of a woman who raises her fist up and holds a Ukrainian trident with another. There are two long stripes of fabric are attached to the trident: one blue and one yellow. She is screaming and her face looks fierce. She is wearing traditional Ukrainian clothing and a poppy flower crown. Her body is turned slightly to the left side while her head is tilted to the right and up. The wind is blowing her single long dark braid and her belt to the left. There is a sky with orange clouds in the background.

Appeal of the Ukrainian National Committee calling for the fight for a united, independent Ukraine

June 22. 1941

In this great and solemn hour, it is time for us to affirm the sanctity of our feelings through deeds and reason. As a new life, new morality, and new laws are forged in the toil and blood of the finest sons of rejuvenated nations, the day is drawing near when Ukraine will become the guarantor of order and peace in Eastern Europe. Throughout the centuries, it has been our providence to defend the cultures of freedom and faith with our swords and our own chests, against the hordes of nomads and the onslaughts of evil...

..........In our relentless struggle, we have been recording pages of history........

I hate that I can't properly feel happy because of Ukraine's independence day. I keep thinking about the things Russia will do to ruin it, like what they're planning with their Azov prisoners. I feel scared of what they will do in other places too but at the same time this is exactly what they want. They want us to not be able to be happy and celebrate. They want us to be silent because of our anxiety and fear, which is exactly why we should scream!
