When we speak about our army currently fighting the russians, people always imagine some kind of professional military… but it’s students, journalists, dancers, poets, startup founders, farmers…
I feel like this always somehow escapes people, everyone imagines some kind of professional war machine & doesn’t feel much empathy or compassion, when it’s so many regular people who lived happy lives, pursuing their passions and building careers, who had to jump in and learn how to fight and become medics when the genocidal invaders came.
So, if you see this post, scroll down and check the civilian professions of these amazing people (I’m proud to know some of them IRL) and imagine yourself in their place.
Sharing this as a reminder: when I say that @crystalhearts is helping our defenders, this is who I’m sending supplies to, people from all walks of life who are risking their lives defending Ukraine from invasion, they are the reason many Ukrainian cities are not under russian occupation. 7 replies

Here is something that’s not talked about enough: more than 19.5k children have been abducted by russians from occupied cities, moved to russia, and placed for adoption (while their parents are still alive and searching for them).
There are many task forces and nonprofits both in Ukraine and foreign countries working to find and return these children (using open-source information, including satellite imagery, social media posts, russian publications, and adoption ads). So far, only 1240 children have been returned to their parents ❤️🩹
This shows why surrendering to occupation never equals peace; the war crimes continue under occupation, and the kidnapping of children is one of them. I’ve seen some cruel takes on this, with people saying, ‘Well, at least those children are alive and not bombed to pieces.’ All I can say is, try saying that to their parents.
