During the massive missile attack on Ukraine on Monday, October 10th, Russia launched 84 missiles and 24 drones. This is how our morning began. First the explosions. Then water, electricity and the Internet disappeared, telephone communication was barely available. People tried to call their relatives and friends, to find out if everyone was safe.

For some, this morning began with explosions, for others with the news feed. But it was definitely not a good morning for all of Ukraine. Russia's worst mass attack since 24.02.22. My mother is in Kyiv, my friends are in Odesa, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro... since I am abroad, I can only draw, cry and donate. I feel for all of you! I believe that our Armed Forces will give a worthy rebuff and the russia will soon collapse.

Every time another terrible event happens, I think to myself — again? How can this get any worse? And then I sit down and draw and cry... This is my way of surviving this grief because no one can be aloof. I believe in our Armed Forces, and our victory!”

Putin is no longer able even to pretend that the farcical “referendums” he has staged in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson have any validity, and no one, anywhere, believes that they do. With his illegal annexation, the Russian president is also declaring war. But this is not merely a war on Ukraine. Putin’s war—Russia’s war—is also a war on a particular idea of world order and international law, an idea upheld not just by Europeans and North Americans, but by most of the rest of the world.

This artwork was drawn by @lina_mariyka months ago for another horrific event, but the crimes against humanity continue day after day - in Kharkiv region: the Rashists shot a convoy of civilians with children, at least 20 were killed. "At the end of September, the Rashists completely destroyed a convoy of seven cars. At least 20 people died, including 10 children. A brutal attack on civilians was carried out by a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the occupiers - they shot six old cars at close range with small arms. The enemy once again proved that his goal is the destruction of all Ukrainians, regardless of age and gender. The occupiers are defeated on the battlefield and out of desperation respond to them by killing civilians. But the Rashists will not escape punishment - we will find everyone and make them answer for the atrocities committed” - SBU

Наступний пухнастий герой — кіт Степан @loveyoustepan , волонтер і блоггер🐱 У листопаді минулого року кіт Степан з Харкова став зіркою соцмереж. Його фото з бокалом вина у своєму Instagram виклала всесвітньо відома співачка Брітні Спірс. З того часу на сторінку Степана підписались 1,3 мільйона людей. Після початку війни нових дописів і сторис не з'являлося два тижні. "24 лютого рано-вранці ми були вдома і спокійно спали. О 5-й ранку було чутно вибух, і я крізь сон навіть не зрозуміла, що то було. Приблизно через пів години ми почули інші вибухи, задрижали вікна, я підскочила і зрозуміла, що відбувається щось жахливе! Наступ та обстріл Харкова. Ми зрозуміли, що в наш дім прийшла війна", - розповіла власниця кота Анна. Із котом вона змогла евакуюватися до Польщі, після цього поїхала до Франції. Після переїзду Степан зайнявся волонтерством. Він почав збирати кошти для порятунку тварин найбільшого в Україні Миколаївського зоопарку. На сторінці кота в Instagram з'явився допис із закликом доєднатися до збору коштів. “Ваш внесок безцінний – завдяки вашій підтримці ми зможемо забезпечити гідний догляд та лікування для кожної тварини в Україні”, – йшлось у дописі від імені харківського кота. Станом на 28 березня коту вдалось зібрати 10 тисяч доларів.

"Last evening was an evening of great news - 215 Ukrainian defenders were released from being held captive. I saw a photo of Kateryna (Ptashka), a military paramedic which all of you might know about, if you were following the news about Mariupol. I was so happy to hear that she is finally free, but imagine my feelings when I heard the next news. Most of the defenders are already at their home cities in the hospitals or safe places. It is a great joy to know that they are home, but we must not forget that first, they will need medical help and psychological rehabilitation; and second, there are still unfortunately many citizens of Ukraine held as POW along with civilians held hostages. I believe one day we will free them all." - Irina Kostyshina, September 2022
