Lviv Summer 2026 (Western Ukraine) A walk through the royal city, ancient architecture, people...

Music of Ukraine The leader of the band "Tartak" Oleksandr Polozhinsky. It was thanks to him that I grew up as I am, because he was the one I looked up to. He had no bad habits, refused to advertise alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, refused politics, read books, thought and fundamentally defended the Ukrainian language during the years of total Russification. He did not submit, as Ukrainian musicians are known today, and is one of the few who has never sung in Russian. From driving rap and punk rock, which gathered stadiums throughout Ukraine, he moved to more thoughtful lyrics, becoming a Ukrainian military man. English subtitles created by me

🗣️🇺🇦 No one will ever dictate to Ukrainians which heroes to honor, which holidays to celebrate, or which history to study, - Budanov. The head of the OP reported that Zelenskyy has submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a bill "On the Ukrainian National Pantheon". "This document is evidence of our state maturity."

Kupala Festival in Ukraine

Проблемою є очевидні маніпуляції. Розкажу з української сторони питання: Зокрема, уже обидві сторони вибачились і закрили ці питання на всіх рівнях двічі - і коли Кучма був президентом України, і коли Ющенко був президентом. Вибачались не лише політика але й еліта, науковці, духовенство. Українці вибачились перед поляками, а поляки перед українцями. Пізніше Порошенко, будучи президентом навіть на коліна вставав перед Польщею. Ця тема була закрита і до неї ніхто не повертався, аж поки Росія не підняла це питання і не почала форсувати через свої активи у Польщі. Ніхто ж бо не вірив у російські фейки, що Польща готує напад на Львів, тому російські боти - фейкові поляки почали писати "Львів - це Польща". Під кожним відео про Львів у мене такого багато. Пишу про українські вареники - починається спам від "поляків", що це польські пироги, а на аргументи, що страва в Польщу прийшла зі Львова - знову "Львів - це Польща". Навіть при тому, що польські друзі кажуть, що польські пироги це інакше. Вареники ми теж називаєм пирогами, до речі :) Чому ненавидять Бандеру? Тут причиною є лише невігластво. Кожен бо знає, що Бандера був політиком, усю війну просидів в нацистському концтаборі, до речі, в камері з поляком. Проте йому приписують безліч злочинів. Про Ваффен СС Галичина теж кажуть, що вона брала участь у придушені Варшавського повстання. Проте це неправда. В той самий день вони мали бій проти російських окупантів у Бродах, а якщо копнути глибше, то стає ясно, що міф про "Галичину" виник, тому що один із нацистів розмовляв українською мовою. Про УПА теж багато міфів. Зокрема треба розуміти, що це звичайні українці, а не армія. До них звертались прості селяни про допомогу. Це не була структура, яка підпорядковувалась одному командуванню. Так на Волині УПА діяло взагалі всупереч основним наказав Романа Шухевича - керівника УПА. Також цікаво, що УПА і Армія Крайова підписали союз і разом воювали після Волинської трагедії. Що стосується Волинської трагедії, то проблема тут ще й у тому, як це подається. Польські політики звинувачують лише Україну, хоча поляки вбивали українців теж і не лише там - таких трагедій, як Волинь у нас було декілька. Але звинувачення іде саме української сторони. Цифри перебільшенні і про це пишуть навіть польські історики, про це є у роботах Семешків, Мотики. Також польські політики забувають, що Волинь це українські землі і поляки були окупантами. Трактування, що це східні польські землі є образливими для нас. Також, здається, Польща забула про події, які передували цьому, а саме після перемоги спільної України та Польщі над Радяньською Росією Польща порушила договір і напала на Україну в тому ж році, а Польща зрадила Україну і атакувала Львів. Чомусь у Польщі зраду сприймають лише як підписання договору, а про напад на Україну забувають. І це, якщо не згадувати попередніх подій, де до світових війн Польща була таким же ворогом України, як і Росія ще з часів Галицько-Волинського князівства. В ті часи також відбувалось багато репресій, етнічних чисток. Я від поляків часто чую, що все це були польськими землями. Це не так. Тут завжди була Україна, яка була тимчасово окупована. Так, Польща окупувала Захід України на кілька століть але це була окупація і українці хотіли свободи. Коли Польща піднімає теми про Волинь і ще й в такому ключі - це дуже лицемірно виглядає, адже поляки вбивали українців дуже довго. Українці це пам'ятають. А додати до цього перекривання кордонів, шовіністичний спам "поляків" в соцмережах, конфлікти, які потрапляють на відео, то створюється ненависть українців до поляків, поляків до українців. Очевидно, це роблять не просто так. Я пам'ятаю, як у 2022 році Росія платила румунським блогерам, щоб ті говорили погані речі про українців. Тоді це швидко викрили. Історію потрібно лишити історикам. Ми повинні будувати спільне майбутнє, а то кожна країна колись воювала із сусідом. Герої одної країни часто є вбивцями іншої країни. Так у Польщі є героями ті, хто вбивали українців, зокрема і цивільне населення, хто окуповував наші міста. Забороняти шанувати героїв тільки тому, що вони захищали рідну країну від вашої - це вершина цинізму, чи краще сказати, дно. Не будем же ми зараз руйнувати всі пам'ятники Юлію Цезарю, бо Римська імперія колись половину Європи окупувала, не будемо ми забороняти усіх хто боровся проти нацистської чи радянської окупації, бо це ображає Німеччину або Росію. Я це намагалась донести ще у 2022. Мене тоді почали цькувати, зокрема і дехто з тих, кого ви згадували в дослідженнях, яке я зарепостила :) P.S. Фото для роздумів: Група підполковника МГБ Віталія Захарова, які одягались у форму УПА і чинили злочини проти цивільного населення, щоб налаштувати народ проти УПА.

Grandpa's long-awaited return

@MarcoSc41626132 Всі вони знають українську і для багатьох з них є болючим чути російську мову.

🇺🇦 Ukrainians are still facing discrimination. Guess in which country? In Ukraine. Vatniks in Odesa are outraged why Ukrainians in Ukraine speak the Ukrainian language. They chase them out to Lviv, claiming that all Russian-speaking cities are Russia. This is the very problem with the Russian language in Ukraine. It is time to turn national minorities into actual minorities, because the only minority in Ukraine is the Ukrainians themselves, whose rights are the least protected. People, never tolerate the Russian language from Ukrainians! Refuse to understand it on principle, please.

Ukrainian army 😄

Trolling or bullying of Ukrainians? Ruslan Stefanchuk (chairman of the parliament of Zelensky's party) awarded the second president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma with the Chornovil award. Vyacheslav Chornovil was supposed to become the first pro-Ukrainian democratic president of Ukraine but was assassinated by his political opponent Kuchma, who received the award in his name.

🌐 The Organized Web of Russian Disinformation in Poland At a time when Russia is actively trying to pit Poland and Ukraine against each other through historical traumas and questions of aid, a Polish team of OSINT researchers has published a large-scale analysis of a pro-Russian propaganda network on the Polish internet. The results show: these are not just individual "vatniks" or random posts. This is an organized, structured system in which roles are clearly distributed. Researchers analyzed public data from Telegram and X. They didn't just count posts; they mapped the connections between accounts—who reposts whom, who creates original content, and who just amplifies it. As a result, they obtained a network of 2,054 nodes and 3,864 links, divided into 31 communities. This means we are not looking at a chaotic crowd, but at clearly structured groups with established ties. It is particularly valuable that some of the channels are run by specific public figures, not anonymous accounts. The researchers provide examples with real names and professions—in particular, the lawyer Anna Kubala. Furthermore, they managed to find direct evidence at the domain level of the "Pravda" network: tens of thousands of links to Polish Telegram channels that feed Russian content. The conclusions of the Polish team coincide with previously published reports by GLOBSEC, Visegrad Insight, and European documents on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI). 📢 Common Narratives Promoted by the Network: - Driving a "wedge" between Poland and Ukraine by digging up historical themes (Volhynia, Bandera, UPA); - Discrediting Ukraine as a "corrupt" and "illegitimate" state; - Discouraging Poles from helping Ukraine ("this is not our interest," "it's too expensive"); - Undermining trust in Polish institutions and defense capabilities; - Promoting pseudo-geopolitical narratives about a "multipolar world." The study details the mechanism of the "Pravda" network (also known as Portal Kombat). This is a Russian aggregator that "recycles" content from Russian propaganda channels through Polish Telegram channels and passes it off as a "Polish voice." The researchers found direct evidence—more than 44,000 links to specific Polish channels directly on the domain of the "Pravda" network. 🧠 Expert Additions and Strengthening Arguments The identification of this network by Polish OSINT researchers is a critical step in deconstructing the "hybrid" nature of modern warfare. It proves that Russia does not need to invade physically to weaken a state; it merely needs to hack the social discourse and replace reality with a carefully curated set of grievances. The focus on public figures like Anna Kubala is essential because it exposes the "professionalization" of treason—where lawyers, journalists, and activists monetize the subversion of their own country's national interests under the guise of "independent political opinion." The mechanism of "Portal Kombat" is particularly insidious because it leverages the psychological phenomenon of the "echo chamber." By making Russian propaganda appear to originate from within Polish society, they bypass the natural defenses and skepticism that Polish citizens might feel toward overt Russian sources. It is essentially an information laundering operation that turns toxic Russian state rhetoric into "homegrown" political discourse. To counter this, it is not enough to simply delete accounts; we must systematically expose the financial and logistical ties of these networks, treating them not as protected "speech," but as what they are: foreign intelligence assets operating behind the mask of civil society. The ultimate goal of this network is to paralyze decision-making processes in Warsaw. If the Polish government is forced to spend more energy defending against "historical revisionism" and public outrage manufactured by bot farms, it has less energy to coordinate effective military and economic support for Ukraine. We are witnessing the systematic erosion of democratic consensus, where the "truth" is drowned out by the sheer volume of manufactured noise. The only solution is to treat information security as equal in importance to physical border defense; failure to do so will lead to a Poland that is ideologically disarmed, making it far more vulnerable to the very Russian aggression this network currently denies exists.

До Польщі їхали гірші з нас, оскільки кращі лишились, середні поїхали у більш розвинені країни, а до Польщі поїхало дно :) Я взагалі не поважаю тих, хто виїхав, якщо не було причини як от втрата житла. Якщо людина з Маріуполя, її дім захопили, то, очевидно, вона змущена їхати. Але не багаті.

🇵🇱 A Ukrainian girl in Poland says that the hatred Poles have for Ukrainians is no less than that of the Russians. It is fascinating how easily Russia manipulates people and their feelings. Do you realize how easily someone can be declared an enemy and forced to kill? This is exactly why hatred based on race, gender, orientation, ethnicity, and nationality is fueled, and why LGBT and pseudo-feminist movements are created. If Russia forced its brothers, or rather sisters, because both Ukraine and Poland are female, then what else can they do with their own assets everywhere?

@Peter63095634 Ці прапори висять у кожній країні, яка підтримує Україну. А країнах Балтії та Скандинавії українських прапорів більше, ніж прапорів їх країн. Проте це обурює лише поляків. Чому? Згадай з чого почалось і слід приведе до Росії.

🇹🇹 Carpatho-Ukraine: The One-Day State What did you know about Carpatho-Ukraine? A state that emerged from Hungarian occupation for only one day, because Ukrainians never gave up. Since the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen—Ukraine's allies with Poland—rose up, Hungary, after taking them prisoner, handed them over to the Poles. Do you know what the Poles did? If you live in the past, you can rot like Russia, constantly choosing certain pages from history. I choose a different path - the path of the future, and the future is today. The most important thing is not what was or will be, but what is now!

@nexta_tv In Ukraine, too, if an erotic photo is found, it's 7 years in prison and the destruction of the instrument of the crime - the phone. This is no joke :) There is such a law in Belarus, Iran, Afghanistan...

@OscarA384413 @mattywop89 @Lukas42554225 Полякам не заблокували вступ через Підлуського, Армію Крайова та інших...

Poland, starting from the 19th century, lost all wars without Ukraine and won all wars in alliance with Ukraine. And even before that, we took Moscow together.

📺 Ukrainian Propaganda Let's expose Russian propaganda. In comments where Russian propaganda is debunked, Russian bots often ask to expose "Kyiv propaganda." So let's do it. It might surprise you, but I will do it without irony—indeed, there is propaganda and elements of untruth in the Ukrainian version. However, I will speak about this based on my own observations. 📉 1. Downplaying Russian Cruelty I truly do not understand why the Ukrainian state does this, but the Ukrainian government very often downplays the number of strikes, damage, and murders of Ukrainian civilians by the Russians. It also downplays what the Russians do with dead bodies and prisoners. Maybe this is done with the goal of preserving the psyche of Ukrainians whose relatives are in captivity—I don't know. But back in 2014, Russians loved to tie Ukrainian prisoners to cars and drag them, cut off heads, and send them to their families, and judging by Russian public channels, nothing has changed. Also, children who set fire to military vehicles on the orders of Russians often do it not for money, but because the Russians use torture on their parents in captivity and force them to do it through blackmail. I think if the world saw the truth, it would be horrified. Therefore, I do not understand why the crimes of the Russians are downplayed. 🗣️ 2. Too Many Words Ukrainian politicians love to talk a lot about future successes, which puts the entire operation at risk. For me, this is not just bad; it is a crime. One should talk about successes that have already occurred, not about what is planned. Also, sometimes the situation is presented as better than it actually is. For this, they even created the "United Marathon," which no one watches anymore, and it serves as a vehicle for the government to launder money. Because of such things, many Ukrainians go to Russian news outlets, which poses a threat to national security, so, again, I see this as great harm to Ukraine. 🤐 3. Concealing Problems In Ukraine, they often like to keep quiet about problems that the world needs to know about. For example, the issue of the Russian language. Because official Ukraine did not explain to the world what the Russian language in Ukraine is, how it appeared here, and how Russians killed for the Ukrainian language, the world thinks that we are a bilingual country, that the Russian language is ethnically native here, and that all Ukrainians understand Russian. Moreover, some foreigners believe that Russian-speakers are ethnic Russians and that Russian-speaking regions are ethnic Russian regions, which, again, threatens national security. The consequence of such ignorance is the absence of the Ukrainian language in products supplied to Ukraine. There are similar issues regarding history, specifically our struggle against Russia, that we are Rus', not Russia, that we originated earlier, about Bandera and the UPA, about which enemies of Ukraine lie a lot now. And in general, we need to talk about everything. We need to fund structures that will introduce the world to us and fight Russian propaganda globally. This would be more effective than any "national marathons." 🎭 4. Ordinary Political Manipulation Politicians in every country lie, justify their own bad actions, exaggerate their good ones, and Ukraine is no exception here. As everywhere, we have corruption, lies about its non-existence, and strange laws—like the one where punishment for erotic photos is twice as harsh as for rape or pedophilia. We have the TCC, surrounded by a lot of propaganda, the justification of their crimes with idiotic lies, and the worst part is that journalists are forced to call them "military," discrediting the entire Ukrainian army. It seems I have named everything that exists in Ukrainian propaganda. I tried to be honest, so I mentioned both the bad and what exists everywhere. It is understood that military secrets cannot be classified as propaganda—they are consciously concealed, and this is normal during war, so I did not mention military losses or strikes on military targets. Also, I consciously did not raise the topics of treason or mistakes, as these will be talked about after the war, and there will definitely be trials for generals and representatives of today's government. I would say that the greatest Ukrainian propagandist was Arestovych, and he remains one, although he has become a pro-Russian propagandist. I see no lies in the interest of Ukraine; rather the opposite—if there is a lie, it acts against the interests of Ukraine. Just like everyone knew—anyone who knows how weapons work knows—that there were Russian missiles and drones in Poland and Romania, but NATO's official statement was that it was Ukrainian air defense. So, there is propaganda from NATO too. There is also propaganda from the US, like the one about "Russians stuck in the mud," even though everyone saw them driving on brand-new highways that were just repaired with money allocated for the war, by the way. There is Russian propaganda about NATO, biolabs, Nazis, and other nonsense. There is nothing similar in Ukraine. We don't need to demonize the enemy because he is a demon already. We don't need to lie about their actions because everyone has seen what crimes the Russians commit; sometimes they are horrified themselves and lie about "actors in Bucha," "Ukraine shelling itself," etc. But anyone can check and verify the truth. Ukraine is open to everyone, and you can live in conditions of war in cities in the rear. In Russia, however, they block social networks, the internet, and create organs like Roskomnadzor to block the truth. So you don't even need to ask who is lying and who is afraid of the truth.
