Julia Musakovska

Don't miss this chance to hear three brilliant writers discuss how they write about Ukraine in wartime! Join Yuliya Musakovska, Myroslav Laiuk and Luke Harding next Tuesday at UCL, details and registration link below. @UCLSSEES @Ukr_Institute @lukeharding1968 @Musakovska

@MMGogoi @ShahlaUjayli @duilfest So delightful to meet you, @MMGogoi. Thanks for all your kind assistance — and the best of luck!

Assisted acclaimed novelist @ShahlaUjayli and poet @Musakovska in @duilfest. It will be a cherished memory for me.

Delhi: At the programme “A Culture Under Siege: Ukrainian Writings in a Time of War,” Ukrainian poet Yuliya Musakovska says, “My country has been attacked by Russia in this unjust and brutal war. Civilians are now living in survival mode amid regular airstrikes and the destruction of civilian infrastructure..."

Russia is turning winter into a weapon, bombing Ukrainian cities into darkness and cold. In freezing temperatures and deep snow, civilians are left without power and heat. It’s a deliberate Russia's strategy, aimed at making Ukrainians to capitulate. Ukraine doesn’t need sympathy — it needs protection. We need Sky Shield to stop the missiles and drones before they reach our cities, to keep the lights on, the heat running, and people safe. Europe, no time to hesitate! #SkyShieldNow

Last year, my book, The God of Freedom, was on the list. This year, a book I translated — powerful poetry from the frontline by Artur Dron’, published by @JantarBooks. I appreciate the recognition and happy for Artur and his work.

@stjohnbaptiste Thank you, Simon, for highlighting my translation of Artur Dron’. Immensely powerful poetry.

Two collections translated into English, Yaryna Chornohuz' [dasein: defence of presence] and Artur Dron's We Were Here.

Ukrainian poets turn frontline soldiers to defend their country from Russia’s invasion. 🧵 1/16 ⬇️

How lovely to meet you again, dear @SofiOksanen — by pure chance, during my couple of hours at @Kulturmoedet ! Thank you for your fierce support of Ukraine 🫶

@NYurtsaba Dear Nikola, translations are not mine, but Larissa Babij’s and Helena Kernan’s.

Доброй рано, dear friends. Maksym Kryvtsov has been posthumously named Hero of Ukraine for Bravery and Literary Legacy: mezha.net/eng/bukvy/maks…. You can read some of his poems, trans. by @Musakovska, here: londonukrainianreview.org/posts/poetry-i…

If you want to achieve peace by underlining the “greatness” of Russia (red carpets etc) you will always fail. Because “greatness” is the only reason why Russia is making wars. For Russia, being “great” means being violent. Strength (sila) for Russia means violence (nasiliye). If you want to stop Russia from making wars, you should prove to it that it is no longer great. It happened many times in history. Ukrainians prove it in this war Russia is not great. That’s the first assumption for peace

So 🇷🇺kills grandson Davyd Chichkan (1986-2025) and stole the artworks of Leonid Chichkan, a grandfather, from Kherson Art Museum. “Where are your great artists? Where is your heritage? Why we don’t know Ukrainian art?”, they ask.

@NYurtsaba @ukraine_world Thank you for sharing, much appreciated!

Добра ніч, dear friends. Check out the article "We are here, we will not be forgotten: South Africa and Ukraine in dialogue through literature" from @ukraine_world, feat. @Musakovska! ukraineworld.org/en/articles/st… Please share this important article, too.

Last year, I traveled to South Africa at the invitation of @UA_Institute to perform at @PoetryAfrica. From Durban to dialogue—here’s one of the sprouts that grew from that journey. Thanks to @QuazRoodt — and to @ukraine_world & @internews_ua for support: ukraineworld.org/en/articles/st…

Доброй рано, dear friends. My review of Artur Dron's WE WERE HERE has published in @worldlittoday! worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/july/we-w… Please check out this important issue of the magazine. @JantarBooks

Доброй рано, dear friends. @Musakovska's translations of poems by Artur Dron & Maksym Kryvtsov appear at @Ukr_Institute: londonukrainianreview.org/posts/poetry-i…. Please read & share!

Thank you, dear @OKhromeychuk and @BlackerUilleam, and also to dear @sasha_weirdsley & @INDEX_Ukraine for making this happen (and in my home city of Lviv!). Also thanks to my publisher @arrowsmithpress and translator Olena Jennings for bringing ‘The God of Freedom’ to life.

@NYurtsaba @apofenie Thank you, dear Nikola 💛💙

Добра ніч, dear friends. Tonight, let's uplift @Musakovska's poems, which appeared in @apofenie: apofenie.com/poetry/2022/5/…. Stand with Ukraine! Keep reading Ukrainian poetry & be sure to read Yuliya's book THE GOD OF FREEDOM.

Why would anyone lift any sanctions on Russia before Russia has proven it will abide by any kind of ceasefire?

On this day, we remember one of the darkest chapters in Estonian 🇪🇪 history. In March 1949, the Soviet regime forcibly deported over 20,000 Estonians—mostly women, children, & the elderly - to Siberia. Their crime? Simply existing as Estonians.🧵

With thanks to @karthikgemini from @mathrubhumi for this opportunity to speak about Ukraine’s wartime reality to the audience in India. Also, about participating in @mbifl2025 with my book The God of Freedom published by @arrowsmithpress and more projects with Audiostories.

@NYurtsaba Happy Birthday, dear Nikola! May the Force of Poetry be with you, always 💙

Доброй рано, dear friends. Happy World Poetry Day! How appropriate that it is also my birthday. Today I uplift this interview w/ one of my favorite poets, @Musakovska: english.mathrubhumi.com/features/speci…. I hope you will read her collection THE GOD OF FREEDOM.
