Ukraine and more

News of the war in Ukraine, and other links of interest 

For those avoiding the bird app, or anybody interested in helping Ukraine for that matter. 

Below are some accounts I follow for news of the war. I started this list with only Nitter.net links when the first great exodus began. I see now that that was a bit short-sighted. People want more. I will be converting as many of these as possible to other sources, whether they be websites or alternative social platforms, and will keep updating it as needed.

I’ve created a list of the BlueSky accounts in this directory. Find it here👇🏽


Ukraine and its people need our help

I encourage you to donate to or buy Ukrainian.  Etsy has a lot of wares from Ukrainian craftsmen. You might not know this, but just four days after the  Feb ‘22 invasion Etsy forgave outstanding fees for Ukrainian sellers to the tune of $4 million or more. 

Accuracy of links may change depending on the source. 

This is a work in progress.

MODERN WAR INSTITUTE

Wall evidence: An open archive of inscriptions of the Russian occupiers in Ukraine 🇺🇦 

This is an archive of inscriptions the Russian military have left during the occupation of the territories of Ukraine since February 2022. Here you will find eloquent artifacts of the "Russian culture" that breeds military aggression, as well as evidence of Russian war crimes. The database is collected by the team of the Mizhvukhamy cultural institution. In the project’s framework, we go on expeditions through the de-occupied territories and monitor open sources. The archive is open for use by researchers, artists, and everyone who works for the victory of Ukraine.
