Day of rocket & artillery troops - your might is our victory! Ukrainian artillery units give a powerful rebuff to the enemy. They destroy infantry, tanks, armored vehicles and MLRS systems despite the enemy’s superior numbers of artillery.

We have been experiencing blackouts in Kyiv and other cities since mid-October, following the RU attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, power lines and power plants. Now there are scheduled blackouts in Kyiv every day totalling up to 12 hours per day. Combined with the short light day this time of the year, it makes navigating through the evening city eerie. Although these blackouts seem just a nuisance compared to bombings, they take immense resource to adapt. During the power outages, there is often no mobile Internet or phone coverage in different parts of the city. Water pumps and heating in high-rise buildings also cease working during these 4-hour periods of time. Working is available in case you are equipped with a steady powerbank and have a good laptop with powerful battery. No cooking in the houses without gas. I’ve been thinking how we are still trying our best to do all the daily chores and work - because nobody wants to get laid off by international companies on top of living during wartime. We are trying our best to be resilient, but maybe it is time to say aloud that this is absolutely not okay, this, along with all the other events, should not have happened and the talks about how those attacks were a “retaliation” for the Crimean bridge which by the way is a legitimate military target, unlike power plants, are total BS. This winter is going to be a test for all - for Ukrainians most probably a test for survival and durability, for Ukraine’s allies to prove they are able of keeping their promises.

11.11.22 - a historical moment — a Ukrainian flag flies over Kherson! 🇺🇦 Thank you to the heroes who gave their lives for these joyful news that we all read today! The city was completely occupied on March 2, 2022. It was the only regional center that the occupiers captured since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Kherson and Kherson region cannot be conquered. We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine — let’s resist, and we will take back all our land!

After the emotional surge from the liberation of Kherson, I was already thinking of returning home. But then Russia decided to remind us that it is a terrorist country and again made a massive attack on our infrastructure. Russia kills Ukrainians, and those it does not kill, it leaves behind without electricity and heating. Currently, thousands of people in Ukraine are without electricity! and this is now, when the temperature has dropped below zero! That's why I decided to draw something pleasant and encouraging. Thanks to our armed forces of Ukraine.

In this title I refer to the works of Maria Primachenko “Atomic War, be damned!” (1978) and “May That Nuclear War Be Cursed!” (1989) The main idea of this drawing is the possibility of the impossible. The fact that we keep hearing about a possible (or impossible) "nuclear escalation" in our country gives the brain alarming messages, to which it generates its response. I wanted to show how the world will change, how the environment will change, and that it will no longer resemble the one we know today. modified rye + lily of the valley

Today is the day of remembrance of the victims of the terror-famine — Holodomor. What a terrible thing to imagine: a place that was full of life, is suddenly desolate and dark — there is no livestock, nothing grows, all the grain and food has been taken away… the people left in the houses are silent, only the howling of the wind can be heard. A genocide arranged by russia 100 years ago. As a result of Holodomor in 1932-33, millions of peasants were killed by hunger... about 7 million. And now they are back and seeking the same thing — burnt wheat fields, no drinking water in the occupied territories, a manufactured humanitarian crisis.

Today is Holodomor Memorial Day - the genocide of the Ukrainian nation, committed in 1932-1933 🕯 It was committed by the leadership of the Soviet Union in order to humble the Ukraїnians, to finally eliminate Ukraїnian resistance to the regime and attempts to build an independent Ukraїnian State independent of mozzcow. Millions of Ukrainians were destroyed. Now the Krемlin again wants to destroy the Ukraїnian people and the state by the method of war. But we are strong, because we are free and indomitable! Illustration "5 ears of corn" The infamous law "about five ears of corn" became a harbinger of the Holodomor. It provided for shooting on the spot and confiscation of property for theft of collective farm property.

This week, it was Black Friday in different parts of the world but for Ukraine and particularly Kyiv it turned out to be the Blackout Friday with no electricity for more than 24 hours, no heating, no water and almost no cell service. Imagine sitting in your dark room watching the darkness outside and being unable to reach out to any of the people you care about. I hope there will be new defensive measures to prevent this from happening again. But while there is a light inside, we are moving on to our victory.

A few years ago, I was at the design festival and saw there a "Drone survival guide" - a small leaflet similar to a birdwatcher's guide but listing silhouettes of different military drone models. I would hardly expect that to become Ukrainian reality, but this is what birdwatching is like this year.

Genocide of Ukrainians by russia. The Soviet authorities organized more than one genocide of Ukrainians. First, they created an artificial starvation in 1921-1923, then in 1932-1933 ... There was still a famine after the Second World War. In those days, the Russians took everything, even ears of wheat. Now the world has changed a little, and they destroy our electricity. In the modern world - light, electricity - this is an opportunity to work, receive treatment, earn a living.....

Russia still represents a clear and present danger to all democracies and peace-loving countries in the world. It wages war by bombing hospitals, homes and schools.
