⚡️Update: 7 killed in Russian attack on Lviv. The death toll of a Russian attack on Lviv on Sept. 4 has risen to seven, including three children, according to Governor Maksym Kozytskyi. kyivindependent.com/russias-attack…

This night, Russia launched another brutal attack on the residential areas of two major cities, Lviv and Kryvyi Rih. There are civilians who have been injured or killed, including children. Russia used missiles and drones to attack people in their homes while they were sleeping

Woke up from a series of powerful explosions. The neighbor screamed for her littlest one to follow them into the hallway, even though there's no safe place in our pre-WWI home of wood & bricks. I too dragged myself to the bathroom & curled up like a dog on a yoga mat.

I shot this video in June: just another day in a European city, except for the haunting soundtrack. Lviv may be far from the frontlines, but nowhere is safe in Ukraine. Today makes that clear. A reminder for those of us in safer places: we must ensure Ukraine can defend itself.

Too many in the West treat Ukraine as a passing fad and continue to view the country through the distorting prism of Russian imperialism, writes Olesya Khromeychuk atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

The West's underwhelming intellectual response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine confirms that cultural imperialism is alive and well, writes Olesya Khromeychuk atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

Too many still view #Ukraine through the prism of Russian imperialism, by Olesya Khromeychuk atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea… #Russia #Putinswar

'Cultural imperialism lives on... It thrives in gate-keeping, with editors & academics mistrusting voices that don’t sound like those higher up the ladder while platforming those who habitually accepted as authoritative.' Olesya Khromeychuk for Atlantic Council atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

Wonderfully articulated piece on the Russian colonisation of western minds/media by our friend Olesya Kromeychuk : director of Ukrainian institute, Lviv neighbour, & one of the most important Ukrainian cultural voices and advocates in diaspora.

Essential read by Olesya Khromeychuk: "The ongoing international emphasis on all things Russian goes hand in hand with a reluctance to transform growing interest in Ukraine into meaningful structural changes in how the country is perceived, reported on, and understood."

‘Although there has been some improvement in knowledge about Ukraine since 2022, the move is essentially from having no understanding to having a superficial grasp.’ Ja, ongeveer elk gesprek dat ik (10 jaar) voer over Oekraïne ontspoort al gauw in platitudes.

I cannot recommend this article by Olesya Khromeychuk enough. It's resonating hard with me today for several reasons. I find it particularly poignant as I work with my university administration to "make my case" for why I should be allowed to teach courses 1/4 atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

“Each time I read a piece on Ukraine by someone not well-versed in the country’s history and politics, my heart sinks.” Thank you ⁦Olesya Khromeychuk⁩ for articulating so well what many of us have been thinking and feeling since 24 February 2022. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

The scandal around Venice Film Festival's decision to showcase a documentary "humanizing" the Russian soldiers invading Ukraine is a good example of the problematic international attitudes toward Ukraine and Russia addressed in Olesya Khromeychuk's new article atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
