11/3/2022 – A War Parable
From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv: 252nd day of ruzzian invasion. The other day we watched Netflix movie All Quiet on The Western Front. It shows very graphically how ugly, brutal and inhumane war is. It’s a very heavy to watch for anyone, but I think it’s especially hard for Ukrainians because it’s not just about…

11/3/2022 – War update and commentary
From Jamie Peipon: Not much movement has been reported today. A couple of weeks ago, most of the reports were that Ukraine was probing into areas all across the front and that russian forces were scrambling. Bakhmut was the only city that russia was apparently attacking over and over (with no results). That narrative seems…

11/2/2022 – From Kyiv
From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv: 251st day of ruzzian invasion. Extended blackouts are now a part of daily reality.

11/2/2022 – War update and commentary
From Jamie Peipon: In the picture, you’re seeing what is left of a Ukrainian dormitory. This is not a military university. Kids lived here, not soldiers. And yet, it was attacked by russian missiles. The goal is obviously just to terrorize the population. Imagine how bad things must be for a whole military to make…

11/1/2022 – War update and commentary
From Jamie Peipon: Today’s picture comes from Mykolayiv. It is a sad reality that it is necessary to create these bomb shelters for people who happen to be outside when air raid sirens go off. But it is a testament to Ukrainian spirit that they cannot abide the installation of a naked, concrete structure. Bomb…

10/31/2022 – War update and commentary
From Jamie Peipon: In the picture, you can see a screenshot from a video that came from what we can only assume is a Ukrainian unmanned water vehicle. In simpler terms, this is a boat drone. You can see a russian helicopter flying overhead. It is obviously aware of the boat and trying to stop…
