🌻 Who am I — and why do I write? I am different from what you usually see on this platform. I write from the very heart of the war — as an ethnic Ukrainian living in Lviv. My work is a blend of independent analysis, philosophy, and history. No rumors, no political narratives, no propaganda. You won’t find "just news" here — only original author content and a look at life from inside Ukraine, including our civilian daily reality, not just the front lines. 🛡️ Independence is my path. My family knows the cost of this war firsthand, yet I have never asked for donations for my life or my loved ones. My Patreon is my only source of income and my way to survive in Ukraine. It is where I share my most exclusive articles, personal experiences, and communicate closely with my subscribers. Ukraine is more important to me than myself, so I keep many articles free. But if you wish to support my mission, please consider a paid subscription (starting from $3). Each tier unlocks new exclusive insights and includes access to all previous levels. 🇺🇦 Join my journey here: linktr.ee/Devana_Ukraine 🤍 About visuals: The visuals in this blog may include symbolic, illustrative, or archive materials. This is a deliberate choice in wartime to protect identities and keep the focus on the message rather than faces. 🦁 Glory to God. Glory to the heroes.

Children of wars from different centuries met

Today is the 135th anniversary of the birth of Stalin's greatest horror - the architect of Ukrainian resistance to Russian occupation, Yevhen Konovalets Colonel of the UNR Army, commander of the Sich Riflemen, founder of the Ukrainian Military Organization and the first head of the OUN, he became a symbol of a generation that, after the defeat of the Ukrainian Revolution, did not accept the loss of statehood. His life fell on an era of the collapse of empires, world wars and revolutions, and his death was the result of a special operation by the Soviet secret services, personally initiated by Joseph Stalin.

Russia has been trying to destroy the Ukrainian language, history and people for years, — Usyk 💬 We are all Ukrainians who adequately understand and have brains, fighting all our lives for our independence. They constantly want to impose on us how we should live and what to say. Why can't we live the way we want. 💬

🇵🇱 🏛️ A Family Legacy Against Historical Revisionism Andrzej Szeptycki, the Deputy Minister of Science of Poland and great-grandson of the brother of the legendary Ukrainian Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, reminded Poles that "the UPA fought for the independence of Ukraine." For this, pro-Russian Poles are demanding his resignation. Do you see how hatred and ignorance distort people?

⚔️ Have you ever thought about the logic of wars? That is, how do they start? Is it just because a ruler in their old age, due to a desire to become 'great'—as their mentality is stuck in the 16th century—or to expand territory, decides to start a war? Meaning, sending millions of young lives who haven't even had children or accomplished anything in life to their deaths for the sake of this meaningless venture? And do you understand the logic and purpose of international laws? If they worked, their goal would be to prevent wars and immediately punish the aggressor, stopping the war and bringing such rulers and their teams to immediate accountability. We don't see that. Instead, we see red carpets, the fear of the civilized world, and billions of bots that justify terror and blame the victim, fabricating 'proofs' of Nazism.

What has Russia done to Ukrainian cities... Why are they destroying everything?

💵 Ukrainian Currency in 1917 The graphic creator of the Ukrainian currency was the prominent graphic artist Heorhiy Narbut. The Ukrainian banknotes featured inscriptions in four languages: Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish (Yiddish), and Russian—the languages of the three largest national minorities in Ukraine at the time. By the way, this was the first instance in the 20th century where an inscription in Yiddish appeared on state currency. At that time, "Russia" as a stable state did not exist. A coup d'état had occurred there, and two sides were fighting for power, engaging in terror and pogroms. By early 1918, the Central Rada of Ukraine introduced a new currency—the Hryvnia. Not only Narbut, but also the artist Ivan Krychevsky worked on these designs. They looked even more vibrant and striking.

⛽️ The "Gasoline Cloud" Delusion Because Russia cannot deliver gasoline to the occupied Ukrainian territories, as Ukraine controls all the routes, Russian general and deputy Gurulyov proposed an idea of how to bypass this. A direct quote: "We have technologies, still Soviet ones. We can heat and evaporate several train cars of gasoline, say, near Anapa, and form a gasoline cloud from it, and then direct it to Crimea with special fans, where we will make it rain. The technology was already tested in 1986—just get your basins ready!"

Until 1721, Russia was officially called "Muscovy." They rebranded to "Russia" to hijack Kyiv’s history and pose as the heirs of ancient Rus'.
