    Default Ukranians mems and caricatures about current war.

    G'Day to all!

    I think all of them know about Ukranian war against russian invaders. A lot of you saw horror pictures with fired Ukrainian people, fully destroyed Ukranian cities.

    But I'm not Reuters or CNN photographer and will not post such horror photos, I'm simple Ukrainian man who would like to share another pictures which describe relation of Ukrainian people to this war - mems, jokes and so on.
    All textes will be translated into English.

    Let's begin - I hope this man is well known around the world. The text is "Good evening! I'm coming to Ukraine.".
    To be continued...

    This is not joke or mem. Just photo of unknown great-grandmother from Kyiv taken at the beginning of the war.
    She keeps in her hands a sheet of paper with the following phrases:

    My name is Irina (Irene).
    I am 98 years old.
    I survived famine in Ukraine 1932-1933, Hitler and nazi during II World War.
    I will survive liliput putin with his locust.
    Glory to Ukraine!

    Snikolaev28, Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting. In Australia we are have continuing television coverage of happenings in Ukraine and I am confident in saying that our population overwhelmingly sympathises with your country and what you are going through. We only wish that we could do something to help push back this illegal and murderous invasion. It is so heartening to see your post and know that you, and hopefully your fellow citizens, are keeping a sense of humour which can surely help you get through this crisis. The very best of wishes to you and everyone in Ukraine.

    Thank you for posting. Our hearts go out to you and your comrades during this terrible time. I think your memes are fabulous and mimic an old cartoon series from the 1970s called "Love is..."

    Love Is... (loveiscartoon.com)

    However, I think you knew this and I have only included the link for younger members. The New Zealand connection is not so far from Australia and there are many "Kiwis" on this Forum. You can consider it a very appropriate thread.

    These Woodwork Forums endeavour to be non-political and usually such threads are disallowed. However, I have noticed that on occasions events are viewed as to be of such importance that the owner and moderators of this Forum have allowed their continuance: I sincerely hope that this is one of those times. Consequently, I fully expect that any ensuing discussion will be civilised and respectful from our part.

    My own view is that a military action such as the Russians have perpetrated would have been criminal even if there was a case for it, because the loss of life on this scale cannot be justified. As it is, to invoke centuries old boundaries, long since all but forgotten, is diabolical and unforgiveable.

    I will look forward to any further light-hearted comment that you care to make on this tragic subject.

    Regards
    Paul

    As a Kiwi on this forum I wish to second everything Paul says.

    I spend at least an hour and a half everyday watching news clips about the war - and I hope and pray you guys get what you need to beat back the invader. You are doing the dirty work for most of Europe, and if you loose the world will be a less safe place - even for those of us at the far end of the world (Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific).

    Thank-you for posting.

    And just to let you know the support from our side of the world is just as strong.
    The applause and car horn toots this fellow gets whenever he fly's above the fields around Dubbo is testament.

    Sniko, we hope you and your friends & family are OK and as safe as possible.
    Last night I watched episode 1 of 'Servant of the People' with English sub-titles. It had me rolling with laughter, to realise that politicians are the same all over the world.

    If anyone in Australia wants to watch it, it's on SBS On Demand. Not sure if it's on free-to-air as well.

    I found it on Youtube. Unfortunately the subtitles ran out half way through episode 4 (they were back for episode 5). Now I'm having trouble distinguishing the character from the real Zelenskii .

    But of course the reality in Ukraine is no comedy. I wish Ukrainians well in their fight against the invader.

    Yes, reality in Ukraine is no comedy, and very often is a tragedy, but we have to smile and live.
    I think the most part of Australia citizens like drink a little cold beer and meat roasted on barbecue. But if your barbecue was destroyed?
    Take a rear part from russian 220 mm rocket 'Uragan', fired to your city, some bottle of beer and you will be more than happy!
