Music is not beyond politics

It's astonishing and surreal to hear about apoliticality in contests where people represent a certain country….

Cruel humor. But I almost choked on my tea. I also see this as more of a chemical attack. Meanwhile, the russians are having fun…

They are proud of their crimes and shout about it at the top of their lungs. But the world is indifferent.

We need so much support right now when Russia is planning to take away even more territories and Ukrainians' lives. Don't quite our voice. Especially on a platform like that. Yes, it's entertaining competition but our reality in war is definitely not fun to live. We keep crying out to the world in every possible way.

BISAN HAS CALLED FOR A GLOBAL STRIKE

January 21-28th

16-year-old Roman Biletsky died as a result of russian shelling of the Pozhnia village in Sumy Oblast on October 26.

The grandfather said that when the shots started, the boy ran to save his goats, which were grazing in the garden.

"He loved animals very much, raised ducks and goats. He kept two goats, given to him by local residents.

When the shelling began, he remembered that his goats were tied to the cuttings in the garden. He ran to save them, managed to put them in the stall, remove the chains. Then he tried to enter the house because there were loud shots.

At the moment when he climbed onto the wing, already opened the door to the corridor, a shell flew by. The projectile landed on our haystack in the garden. The explosion did not take place on the ground, but on top of the roof, on the slate. He was struck in the lungs, vomited everything. And in the leg," recalls the grandfather.

Roman's grandfather has 1 group of disabilities, his grandson came to take care of him, helped with the household.

"It was my only hope and support. I hoped very much for Romochka, for my grandson. And my last hope was taken away," he says.

Your daily reminder that RUSSIA IS A TERRORIST STATE.

The war is not over; Russia is still invading Ukraine. Ukrainian civilians are dying at the hands of russians every day, and our cities, civilian and critical infrastructure are getting destroyed.

If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.

З різдвом!

Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.

We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.

so so fucked up how Ukrainians in online spaces are like "I don't want to see anything or anyone ruzzian on my dash ever again, no matter their views" and some foreigners go "oh, you're so racist for this, you can't bring tumblr blogs into this" or "it's just pictures of moscow why are you blocking them for this jesus" or smth like that, and it's like. fellas is it "overreacting" when people don't want to see or hear anything related to a nation who oppressed them for centuries including at least two genocides with one of them going on right now, is it "overreacting" when people want to see literally any other country except the one that is killing Ukrainians every goddamn day. bro imagine living in a country that's not being invaded and arguing with someone who's currently sitting in a bombshelter hiding from ruzzian rockets second time this week about how they shouldn't bring posts about dostoyevsky into this.
