My new text for the Guardian: “It’s hard to believe, but it won’t be Vladimir Putin himself invading your country. It will be hundreds of thousands of ordinary Russians who have been told for decades that your values are evil”. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"Каміння і цвяхи" – у списку найкращих книжок 2024 року за версією PEN Ukraine. Вдячна видавництву Старий Лев, яке відзначає 23-річчя, за вже третю спільну книжку, а також геніальному Олексі Манну, який створив її найточніший візуальний вимір. Весь список: pen.org.ua/best-books-of-…

I told The World about Ukrainian poetry: sounds quite symbolic. Also spoke with Daniel Ofman about Executed Renaissance, killed poets of my generation, poetry’s function changed from wedding vows to obituaries, importance of military voices. Read & listen: theworld.org/stories/2025/0…

I was interviewed by Daniel Ofman about Ukrainian poetry in wartime, how it became a space to grieve, stay united, document and process the unthinkable - and to be heard internationally. Thanks to the courage of Ukrainian military whose voices must be amplified in poetry, too.

So exciting to see Uilleam Blacker 🇺🇦’s review of the amazing collection by Artur Dron’ that I translated into English.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦 “Russia Invades Ukraine in Largest European Attack Since WWII” Fox News (February 24,

On the International Writer’s Day, I’m thinking of my dear colleagues, fellow Ukrainians, who will never finish or publish their books, or even write another line—because of war criminals, the bearers of the so-called “great” culture, still shamefully celebrated by the Oscars.

"The Vow" was my most well-known poem before the full-scale war began. Amanda Holmes reads it beautifully for her Read Me A Poem podcast with The American Scholar in translation by Olena Jennings, from my collection “The God of Freedom”, Arrowsmith Press, 2024: theamericanscholar.org/the-vow-by-yul…

This is the last poem in my collection “The God of Freedom”, published in Ukrainian back in 2021 by Старий Лев and in English translation in 2024 by Arrowsmith Press. Who would have thought it would be so relevant in 2025?..

#InternationalWomensDay Here is the cover of Mathrubhumi Weekly, a leading literary and political magazine in India. Inside, 12 pages of my interview about the Ukrainian wartime reality, the role of culture in dark times, plus poems. Out on March 11. Many thanks rakesh

Spoke with 🇮🇳 rakesh about the enduring resistance of Ukrainian people and culture, transformations during Russia’s genocidal war, changes in international support, and presenting at Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters — my book from Arrowsmith Press & more. English here: english.mathrubhumi.com/features/speci…

Outrageous, but this is Russia’s true nature: greed, blood-thirst, bold-faced impunity.

Utterly predictably, Putin rejects the unconditional ceasefire offered by Ukraine, sends Trump off on the errands of making the Russian invasion easier and denying Ukrainian sovereignty, while Trump claims he has accomplished something.

With thanks to rakesh from Mathrubhumi for this opportunity to speak about Ukraine’s wartime reality to the audience in India. Also, about participating in Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters with my book The God of Freedom published by Arrowsmith Press and more projects with Audiostories.

On this day, we remember one of the darkest chapters in Estonian 🇪🇪 history. In March 1949, the Soviet regime forcibly deported over 20,000 Estonians—mostly women, children, & the elderly - to Siberia. Their crime? Simply existing as Estonians.🧵

Why would anyone lift any sanctions on Russia before Russia has proven it will abide by any kind of ceasefire?

Thank you, dear Olesya Khromeychuk and Uilleam Blacker 🇺🇦, and also to dear Dr Sasha Dovzhyk & INDEX: Institute for Documentation and Exchange for making this happen (and in my home city of Lviv!). Also thanks to my publisher Arrowsmith Press and translator Olena Jennings for bringing ‘The God of Freedom’ to life.
