📷 💔Many #Kharkiv residents post photos with Derzhprom, a building in the very city center that was hit by a Russian guided bomb. I've collected hundreds of photos of this place, so I decided to share at least some of them. It's a nice place to walk, because there are several public gardens and parks nearby. It's a building that has been standing for a hundred years despite the wars. A 13-storey skyscraper, a monument of constructivist architecture, one of three Kharkiv high-rises constructed between 1925 and 1928, which we can be proud of. I hope we will rebuild Dezhprom, Kharkiv, and Ukraine, and become much stronger

I turn 41 in 30 minutes. I have no wife, no kids, my father is gone, I haven't talked to my mother in nearly 20 years, and my relationship with my sister isn't great. I'm not going to pretend I'm happy about any of it, and I'm not sure why I'm telling you guys this. Maybe it's because I think about these things a lot. I'm not looking for advice, or sympathy. I guess Im just getting it off my chest, and trying to be transparent with you. I'm just another guy on the internet who's life hasn't turned out the way I thought it would. Thank you all for being here, especially those of you who I interact with regularly.

Life goes on. Even amidst war and despair. But these are the things we keep looking forward to, after war and despair end. Because life always wins. And light always overcomes darkness. If you wait with us, give us a💙💛in the comments👇

Друге День Народження. Сьогодні рівно два роки з мого поранення. День, коли попри все, життя перемогло смерть. Дякую Всім, хто поруч. Дякую лікарям, медичному персоналу, реабілітологам, друзям та родині. Дякую моїм побратимам за те, що були поруч, що витягнули мене та врятували. Мені було дуже важко, але саме з вашою підтримкою я це все пройшов та зараз рухаюсь вперед. Дякую всім Вам, що ви були сильними. Набагато сильнішим став і я. Честь маю. Я не підведу!

According to reports, Russia is stockpiling missiles at their strategic airfield, gearing up for yet another bombing—perhaps even a final blow to our energy infrastructure just as the weather gets colder. We've been pleading and asking, screaming and shouting for a year that they will destroy Kharkiv's energy geberating capabilities, but no one listened. Now, we're entering winter with our energy completely devastated, preparing to survive the season on hope and whatever we can borrow. It's not rocket science, if we don't stop russia now, they'll continue their campaign of destruction. We are risking to lose all energy generating capabilities right as we enter the cold season. We are in the screaming and pleading stage again.

Ukrainians endure explosions, destruction, and death as Russian aggression rages. Blackouts and air raid sirens disrupt daily life, forcing a relentless search for normalcy in a world forever altered by war.

How do we still hold on? First and foremost, it is thanks to ordinary Ukrainians who went to defend their land with weapons in their hands. It is them, the soldiers who dig into the ground, into each position not to let the enemy advance further. People are not numbers. People are the most precious of what we have. Ukraine needs working security guarantees. We have paid and keep paying an unbelievably high price with Ukrainian lives.

I often post pictures and videos from this spot because it illustrates life in Kharkiv perfectly. We are having coffees next to ruins. Living next to death.

Ukrainians keep living, working, donating, and fighting. But.. sometimes, I feel completely desperate, torn to pieces when I see my beloved Ukraine being erased from Earth every single day, every single moment. The hardest thing is not to see those crimes stop

Saltivka. Huge residential area in Kharkiv. Used to live here. The park near the spring is always full of people, many with kids. Today, Russia launched a glide bomb there - right on the walkway - killing two elderly people sitting on a bench.

Strikes with Russian glide bombs have become a daily routine in #Kharkiv. While some people are talking about whether Ukrainians need to respond to Russian bombardments, we lose people every day - military on the battlefield, civilians on the streets of #Ukraine's cities. Innocent people died again: this time elderly people who were just passing nearby. And that's not even the worst part. The worst thing is that you don't know when your last day will come. Just a minute ago it was a quiet place by the lake, and now there are two dead elderly people because a 500kg bomb hit them... It makes no difference to a Russian bomb, drone or missile whether you are a 73-year-old old man, a 40-year-old woman or a 5-year-old child. The issue is not age, but who Russia will kill next... 📷 Oleh Syniehubov/Telegram

Putin is the first dictator since Hitler to invade a European country & annex territory, terrorize Ukrainians citizens, and kidnap Ukrainian children, violating some of the fundamental norms of our international system. Not a thug you should have on speed dial.

I’m often asked why Russia bombs Kharkiv daily. Why terrorize those who refuse to leave? After today’s third glide bomb attack, I wonder—is it to make horror feel ‘normal’? To push Kharkiv’s daily shelling out of news? We need to keep sharing and informing, so Russia’s plan fails
