Український дух/Ukrainian spirit

  Наслідки рашистської ракетної атаки на Часів Яр в Донецькій області Останні дні листопада відомі багатьом у сучасному суспільстві як період розпродажів. Так сталося і цього року: вулиці європейських міст були наповнені світлом і містянами, які бігли купити щось подешевше. Все нібито звично, як у старі добрі часи, але не для всіх… Українські люди та міста не мають доступу до такої розкоші як мирне життя чи електрики. Це результат масованих ракетних ударів, завданих російськими військами по цивільній інфраструктурі України в жовтні-листопаді 2022 року.   Лише за два тижні, з 15 по 23 листопада, російські терористи випустили 397 ракет і кілька сотень іранських безпілотників-камікадзе по українській інфраструктурі. Прямим наслідком атак стало знеструмлення всієї країни, через що люди кілька днів були змушені жити без світла, води та опалення, а температура в багатьох регіонах України опускалась нижче нуля.   росія погрожує продовжувати масовані ракетні атаки та безумовно бу...

  Aftermath of russian missile attack on Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region Last days of November are known to many in modern society as a period of sales. This happened this year as well: streets of European cities were filled with light and people who were running to buy something cheap. Everything seems usual, like in the good old days, but not for all… Ukrainian people and cities do not have the luxury of having a peaceful life and light. This is the result of massive missile attacks unleashed by invading russian force on civil Ukrainian infrastructure in October-November 2022.   Only in the period of two weeks, between November 15th and November 23rd, russian terroristic force launched 397 missiles and several hundred Iranian kamikaze drones targeting Ukrainian infrastructure. Direct consequence of the attacks was a blackout of the whole country where people for couple of days had to leave without electricity, water and heating with temperature dropping in many Ukrainian regions ...

    Russian insidious invasion of Ukraine brought a lot of grief and destruction to the Ukrainian people. In the long list of crimes committed by the rashist military: torture, rape, murder of women, children and men, deliberate destruction of peaceful cities, there is the forced deportation of the civilian population of Ukraine to russia. According to the reports, approximately 2 million Ukrainians were deported . The most horrible thing is that the future of our nation, Ukrainian children and youth , are kidnapped and taken by the rashists to the remote parts of russia . The russians do not ask children and young people for permission to move to russia, and therefore, we consider it precisely as abduction. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have already been taken to russia. In order to keep them on their territory, the occupiers developed a simplified and accelerated adoption procedure which would allow children to be placed in russian families where their Ukrainian i...

  Daily Russian propaganda portrays Ukrainians as aggressive nationalists. In reality, it is a projection of their own emotions associated with the word. You will never hear a Ukrainian saying that he or she is better than others, smarter than others, stronger than others, or more spiritual than others only because of being Ukrainian. No Ukrainian will ever say that Ukrainianness is given by God, which gives the right to be arrogant and feel superior. Ukrainians have an instinctive, historically established urge to preserve their identity. Their language, culture and peaceful life on their land. Ukrainians just want to stay being Ukrainians. They feel big and beautiful love of own self. Not barbaric hatred of others as Russians do. Russians' national chauvinism is soaked in racism and xenophobia towards Ukrainians. Russians consider themselves "the great chosen Slavs". They will use total destruction of everything alive to make their neighbor country as miserable as thei...

  According to Ukrainian military intelligence as well as mass media the deceitful kremlin, through its proxies in the DPR, plans to organize a “ show trial ” of prisoners of war from the Azov regiment in violation of the agreements and Geneva Convention by the end of summer . We want to remind that the defenders of Mariupol reluctantly laid down their arms under the guarantees from the International Committee of  Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nation (UN) in the middle of May after almost three months of defending the city. International organizations have guaranteed that Ukrainian defenders will be held captive in accordance with international norms. In reality, russians are planning to hold a “show trial” against the warriors of Azovstal in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, this time violating agreements not only with Ukraine, but with international organizations. To hold a show trial, iron cages are being installed on the premises of the surviving philharmonic hall, in w...

  Stand with Ukraine Gothenburg supports the initiatives of Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian nationals. Proposal to ban Schengen visas for Russian nationals is now submitted to the European Union for discussion. We call on all the EU states to take a decision on visa ban for citizens of Russia. Russians traveling to the EU states is related with the security risk for all the Schengen member states. How can we guarantee that a Russian citizen who received a tourist visa is coming as a tourist and not as a spy? Many of us remember the Scripal case, when two Russian intelligence agents entered UK on tourist visas to poison Skripal with military-grade nerve agent. The Kremlin claimed that these two men were tourists. Russian GRU spy Sergey Cherkasov has tried to infiltrate International Criminal Court (ICC), under fake identity and applying for internship at the ICC in the Hague. The threat posed by this intelligence officer was de...
