After I Volunteered In Ukraine, I Made These 22 Comics Depicting What’s Going On There
I want to share with you small stories that I had complied into comics during the time I volunteered in Ukraine and some other stories from Ukrainians themselves who live and are in the warzone spots like Bucha.

Not only children suffer from this war but animals too. In Ukraine, lots of families have pets and after the full-scale war began, some of them took their friends with them, but some of them were left behind...

There are animal shelters there that can use a donation. Just google Kiev animal shelter. They are taking in the strays and trying to find their human parents.

Sorry, you evidently don't love non-human animals as much as you think you do.

Recently, with the help of friends, we bought over 150 diapers and special canned food for injured dogs from the Borodyanka shelter. This shelter was bombed by Russians and the region was occupied for almost a month, so the owners weren’t able to properly feed these animals. The shelter had 400+ dogs but only 150 survived… We also came down to help another shelter too, we bought 1500 kilos of dog food and helped with the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Many people and businesses reorganized and learned how to help military forces in Ukraine. Still, despite all of that, they believe that they should try to do more. But what about our governments?

This is my cynical take on things. Citizens can help and there will be no repercussions. Governments however, don't want to risk pissing off Putin. Yeah I'm calling NATO spineless. I guess it's not wise to bite the hand that feeds you when it comes to oil and gas.

My motivation for creating is the smiles of people who read the work on my page. We can discuss lots of contradictory topics and share various opinions. Thanks to this, I’ve changed as a person, and dare I say some of my followers have too. I hope that those who read Bloome Comics will know more about the RU-UA war as I’m currently using my page to spread awareness. After the war is over, I will come back with funny girly comics to make people happier.

Divide and conquer. Those 'kommandos' from Chechnya were the side that killed the 'others' and joined Russia. Beware of division. It's never for any good idea.

Russian propaganda has no limits due to their claims that Ukrainians are horrible Nazis and have dangerous bio labs with ill pigeons. People who try to protect their homes and land are called fascists… This is false information… and hilarious propaganda from their side.

Not all russians. Many do not believe the propaganda. Many are devastated because they have relatives in Ukraine. Demonizing russians should be avoided, Putler and his covert national socialist gang are the real demons.
Load More Replies...My comics started out because I always wanted to create some relatable things for girls and show funny lifestyle stories. My major influencer for that is my mom, she’s always telling me some funny stories and they then tend to become part of my comics. When it comes to my personal style, well, it is something that is hard to explain, it just forms when you draw a lot.
My comic ideas depend on the plot and what I want to explain using it. Usually, it takes anywhere from 2 hours or more to finish one piece of work. If comics need to be more colorful or it is a collab with another artist, it can take 4-5 hours overall.

During history, UA argued with every neighboring country and treated their minority citizens as second, now everyone helps them, I just hope they will remember this when all over
With that being said, when it comes to creating comics for me personally, the most enjoyable part is coloring. It calms me down and I can open my mind to more creative things and think about life in general.
Just like a lot of other artists, I do feel burnt out at times. Once it was at the end of summer 2021. I didn’t know why and what for I was creating art, but my followers pulled me out of these thoughts. (Thank you guys!)The second time it happened was right after the Russian invasion, I was so depressed by the news because of my family roots and it was also the fact that some of my relatives also live in Ukraine. I was afraid for their life and was angry reading the news for a long time, it put me off art for about several weeks before I realized that I can also help with my art and tell people about this ongoing war. I started a new series just for that.

"This is a 'special military operation,' we are saving the Russian speaking population!" This is what Russia tells the media but at the end of the day, no one can be protected, especially not those countries who have a lot of Russian-speaking immigrants… Who knows, even all of that aside, maybe they will find another occasion to ruin your life.

Many Russians are good people and some are downright heroic, risking their freedom to protest this war. But sadly a part of this nation is completely brainwashed and actually supports putin.

This just shows the priority of things in Ukraine and Russia… Russians thought that Ukrainians are poor because of propaganda but since 2012, a lot has changed… Regions like Irpin, Bucha, and Gostomel were some of the richest with newly built houses and nice neighborhoods. So some Russian troops were jealous of that and even went as far as to steal women's underwear from the washing machines.

Actually Russian soldiers rape Ukrainian girls and women, torment and kill civilians, plunder their homes and/or devastate them, a few days ago I watched a report video in the TV news of a family from Mariupol who returned to their house, the Russian soldiers had peed and pooped on all the carpets and had plundered their PC, TV, stereo system and other electric devices plus jewelry that the family´d left while fleeing to a safer town. BOOH!!!
Recently I’ve been receiving a lot of positive feedback, lots of Ukrainians express gratitude and thank me for showing support for them. I believe that if more people know the truth, more people will be inclined to help.
I’d like to let you know that Instagram is the only platform where I share my art as well as Bored Panda, where I post from time to time. You can also find reposts of my work on 9gag and Reddit, I suppose.

Win over #FCKPutins´ #FCKRussianArmy and rebuild #Ukraine, BTW, that country was so beautiful, and people are so kind, are animal lovers, they always welcomed guests/tourists from other countries, they were and are Western-oriented, I hope that goddamned war will end real soon before even more thousands of people will be killed or become homeless in #Ukraine.

Officials are saying that around 216 children have now passed away in the RU - UA War since 24.02.2022, but there is no information about the children that have been killed in Mariupol. Also, more than 120,000 children have been deported from Ukraine to Russia and a huge % of those children were not orphans as they have families.

No, the Russian civilians aren't all mean, there's no reason to wish death to them. They've either been manipulated to believe the Putin lies or are too afraid to stand up against him. Sure, it won't end until the whole governmental state has been taken out and replaced by better people, but the normal people deserve better than being killed off. I have some friends in Russia, who are leaving for other countries now. Except for one - she's in a wheelchair and can't go anywhere like that. Yet, we can't help her either.

When Ukraine wins, you should visit this beautiful country, especially Lake Lemuria (Rose Lake), Carpathians, and Synevir Lake. Try their national bread called "palyanytsya" and borscht. See their customs on Kupala Night. You will definitely fall in love!

All protests in Russia are supported by fear and while in Ukraine, unarmed people fight for their freedom with the Russian armed forces, they already have lost their fear of death. Russians keep their mouths shut because they are afraid to go to prison.

Wait a minute! I saw a video once of a crowd of ukranian protesters walking toward 3 russian soldiers, scaring them off without violence. The russian troops kept backing off and firing in the air, but they did nothing to scare them. I think that's what the second drawing is inspired by.

To be fair, i would be much more concerned to go to prision in russia than being shot. The fear for torture is real, i think. Much respect to All people (russian, ukrainian or who Else) who stand against the russian troops, police or simliar. You have to be brave and i don't know, if i could Do this. I hope so, but i don't know for sure

What’s going on in the city of Mariupol is horrifying to every Ukrainian… more than 100,000 people are still in the ruined city and they have no access to simple things like water, food, and medicine. Moreover, the Russian Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory decided to illegally export grain from the occupied Kherson region, forcibly taking it from farmers. The corresponding decision was published by the press service of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - subsequently, the publication disappeared from the site, but was preserved in the Wayback Machine archive.

Yesterday I heard of a family from #Mariupol who´ve been hiding in their cellar for weeks, they said they had to pee and poop into buckets and couldn´t take a shower or wash their hair for weeks, now they returned to their often (by Russian soldiers) destroyed/devastated homes, but at least they have their toilets and their bathrooms back with water from the faucets...

To win in this war, Ukraine needs the help of all people. It is not only a matter of their independence it is a matter of surviving and preserving democracy and humanity. If UA loses, it will be a signal to other dictators to do all they want: kill civilians, invade other countries and do whatever they want without any consequences!

There was the story when one granny struck down a Russian drone using a tomato can. I don't think that this was some sort of coincidence but rather a fact. And while even a UA granny behaves like a warrior, the Russian police continue to arrest people with white sheets of paper, bicycles, and even innocent children.

#15... Its much easier to bravely protest, then soldiers don't fight back, don't you think ? In the begining of war, then these protests take place, Russian forces had orders not shoot civilians. You can find videos about this all over internet - they stay still, no matter what Ukrainian people do. Most "violent" actions was shooting in the air and some smoke grenades. Its not excuse for invasion itself (and yes, this is not "special operation", its invasion and crime), but to compare it with fear in Russia...Yes, we fear, cause you can be grabbed even for children drawing with antiwar theme.
