The war continues. Today there was another attack on Ukraine. 635 drones and 35 missiles. While the whole world is preparing to celebrate Christmas
I am at a loss for words for the suffering that has befallen Ukraine. Europe must help those fleeing the war but also those staying to fight it. Putin is a criminal who must be stopped. #StandWithUkraine
I wasn't in the Macro Mondays group back on January 24, 2022, so I'm happy to have the chance to submit this stamp macro of a first day cover
Ukrainian flags join the American and D.C. flags along Pennsylvania Avenue. Traditionally, country flags are placed on these lamppost when a foreign head of state comes to D.C. Now, the flag is in support of Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
Vladimir Putin is a psychopathic mass murderer and somehow has to be stopped. With all my heart and soul I stand with Ukraine.
The people of Ukraine are the bravest souls with the greatest humilty. All our hopes, and prayers go to you!
Where even the sea freezes in winter: Ukraine and the shores of the Dnieper River, close to the Black Sea, today is Ukrainian Unity Day. (Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi)

Some men see things as they are, and say why.
I dream of things that never were, and say...fuck Putin.

Out on Saturday for a wander around London with Darren Wilkin.
Pretty much every where you look in London, the Ukrainian colours abound.
Demonstrators at the US Consulate on University Avenue in Toronto demand more help and military assistance for Ukraine from the US and western nations . Photographed on March 6, 2022, the 11th day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Processed in PS.
Well hope y'all like my second attempt at a none ww2 scene. This was originally going to be a ww2 scene but I did not like it and thought id like this better. I got the idea from colonel legos but added some other things to make it more mine. I tried out a new details and that roof was a pain in the ass to figure out, I couldn't get it all on some a few pieces are just sitting on it. I don't have many good spots for a decent backdrop because I live really close to buildings and not many open tree areas without something in the background. Well C&C is greatly appreciated.

Ukrainian Catholic Church, in Jewett, NY. It is opposite Pine Island Mountain across Rte 23A and Schoharie Creek. It is also just west of East Kill which flows into Schoharie Creek. The structure was built without nail or screw connections.
In his characteristic faux- naif style, Kurelek presents an account of life in his ancestral homeland. In a four-part narrative, the central panel illustrates the election of a Cossack leader. The side panels illustrate women working the land, as well as poverty and hardship. Commissioned by the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada at a time of burgeoning nationalism and around the centenary of Confederation, the work is a tribute to Ukrainian immigrants to the Canadian Prairies.
The war in Ukraine, violent as it is on the ground, has also produced elsewhere a most confrontational mindset. Each side is generating its own "narrative" with its related truth claims. Their thought police would accuse anybody of heresy who dared to look at the other narrative. These attempts at silencing more nuanced ways of thinking must be resisted. As for me, living in the UK with its very outspoken support for Ukraine, some reminders may be in order. 1. Putin's regime is the enemy, not the Russian people. 2. It is not Tolstoi or Shostakovich we have issues with. 3. Thinking about a possible postwar order must be allowed if it helps to prevent a global or nuclear confrontation.
Bakhmut was a city in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Before the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, its population exceeded 70,000 residents. Bakhmut was the center of Ukraine’s salt industry—rock salt had been extracted from its mines for centuries.
The city became one of the so-called Ukrainian ‘fortress cities’ that were not to be surrendered without a fight...
The battles for the city were long, extremely brutal, and bloody. Estimates of Russian military losses in the battles to capture the city range from 20,000 (according to Russian data) to 60,000 (according to Western observers). Ukrainian military losses remain classified to this day. I've found only information from the city’s mayor reporting 204 civilian deaths as of May 2023.
In December 2023, Russian forces finally took control of the city and its surroundings. But by then it was no longer a city—it was ruins, with 80% of its buildings completely destroyed. This is just one of many cities in Ukraine that, in reality, no longer exist as a result of a long, brutal, and senseless war.
Cities in Donbas have also suffered similar destruction: Mariupol, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Volnovakha, Marinka, Pavoposna, Sievierodonetsk, and Lysychansk. It can be said that they were effectively wiped off the map.
Currently, the Russian army is trying to take control of the last two major cities in the region: Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, and if the war does not stop, these cities will most likely face a similar tragic fate.
Severe destruction has also been experienced in the cities of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Kherson, Bucha, Irpin, and Borodianka.
As of 2024 (the most recent information I found), more than 300,000 buildings have been destroyed in Ukraine, and over 3 million Ukrainians have lost their homes.
The lyrics of the song I used as background for the video belong to the talented Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov, who went to defend Ukraine and was killed in this war on January 7, 2024. He was 34 years old. The song is performed by the Ukrainian singer known by the stage name Vivienne Mort.
The translation of the text is provided below:
“Don’t walk here
Don’t come here
You’ll be all alone here like this
God, winter has grown angry
Smoke is sliding down
Like a crawling snail
Don’t come here
Onto these paths
Sins are hidden in the forest
The sky is black
The wind is beating against a prison
Winter bleeds with cold
Don’t go here
Don’t enter
Here there are only ruins and God
On the road
Bodies are spread out
They are counted when dusk comes
I'd rather you forget about these places
The blood is bitter and poisonous like mercury
People turn
Into poppies
The wind tears through the heart like a hook
Names were disappearing
Cities were disappearing
Longing hung heavy, like solid bones
Birds were fighting
Fighting in the darkness
Against the raised black walls of a prison”
