Ukrainian kobza and wheel lyre tradition has been included in UNESCO's Register of Good Safeguarding Practices! It is the first time a Ukrainian nomination has been included in this register, representing a great step forward in preserving national identity & promoting Ukrainian culture. —MFA Ukraine
The Kobzar-Lirnyk tradition is an integral part of Ukraine's musical and verbal heritage. In the past, it was performed by travelling blind singers and musicians – kobzars, lirnyks, and bandura players – and today, it is being revived by contemporary singers and instrumentalists. —Ukrainska Pravda

Kyiv this morning (January the 2nd) was mass shelled by russia with drones and ballistic missiles. I spent all the morning in a storage room that serves as a shelter in my house. Some of the missiles were flying over my head to Kyiv. My friends are saying it was really loud and in some cases debris fell not so far from their homes. There are injured people.
Kharkiv also were under a brutal attack, there are injured and dead.
Happy New Year from a fucking russia.
Don't ever forget that russia is a terrorist state
My mother's first home was a refugee camp. Her mother was sold on a Nazi slave market.
I have dead relatives on Ukrainian battlefields. We can't get them back because russia has colonised the regions.
One relative was taken hostage by the bastard russians and tortured for 2.5 years.
The word "slave" actually means "Slavic person". The word "genocide" was invented in Lviv.
An Amnesty International guy chased my mother through a shopping mall, yelling at her that she was a "stupid white woman who wouldn't know what a refugee is".
Ukrainians aren't allowed to talk about the racism we get every single fucking day because we're "too white".
