Ukraine's Street Art

Have a look, these mural and street art are truly heart-warming and inspiring, wherever in the world you may be: https://www.rferl.org/a/post-maidan-murals-changing-the-face-of-kiev/27929224.html I've seen a few of these, but not all ... (This one may be unrecognised, in Kharkiv)

Stop Fake

26.07.2017 An important report to read, about 'Stop Fake' and information provision in Ukraine (and Russian media sources): Mariia Zhdanova & Dariya Orlova, “Computational Propaganda in Ukraine: Caught between external threats and internal challenges.” Samuel Woolley and Philip N. Howard, Eds. Working Paper 2017.9. Oxford, UK: Project on Computational Propaganda. comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk<http://comprop.oii.ox.ac.uk/>. 25 pp. Also on this day: Much attention has been given to the arrest warrants out for Yanukovich and his cronies following the former Presidents flee from Ukraine to Russia in February 2014. Not so much attention, however, has been given to the many benefactors of Yanukovich’s regime and rulership that remain in Ukraine and continue to benefit from their various assets, real estate and lucrative contracts. Why hasn’t the Prosecuter General turned his gaze to them? https://hromadske.ua/posts/zavhosp-yanukovicha-andrii-kravec

Ukraine is Crimea, Crimea is Ukraine

25.07.2017 I met a man today in Maidan Nez. He identified himself immediately as a Crimean Tatar. There was a festive atmosphere on Khrystakyt as it was the weekend, a Sunday, and the road was closed to traffic. This man was holding a very tall flag post, waiving the flag of Crimea juxtaposed on the Ukrainian flag. ‘Ukraine is Crimea, Crimea is Ukraine’ he said. He explained, his 5 yr old daughter was murdered. His family of 6, now dead or scattered, destroyed. He has lived in Kyiv for 3 years now, and will not stop waving this flag for as long as Crimea is occupied territory. Today was also the date of an ECtHR ruling on property lost and damaged in Luhansk occupied territory: Ukraine was not held accountable for injuries caused while territory in the Eastern provinces is not under national (Ukraine’s) control.
