Today is a special day. This is the 31st anniversary of the Independence Day of Ukraine. Happy birthday, Ukraine!
And today is exactly 6 months since the start of a full-scale war.
A "parade" of Russian vehicles took place in Kyiv. In the center of the city on Khreshchatyk Street, a large number of lined and burnt Russian armored vehicles are exhibited.
Today, there are especially many air raid sirens in all cities of Ukraine. Sirens sounded seven times in Vinnytsia. A Russian unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down near Vinnytsia.

Some statistics for six months of the war:

• 13,477 killed and wounded among the civilians of Ukraine. This is only for officially registered cases, the full statistics are much worse. Including 374 children were killed, 723 were injured.
• Approximately 3,500 missiles were fired by Russia at Ukrainian cities and facilities. For comparison, there are only about 100 missiles in Syria.
• 9,970 air raid sirens sounded in Ukrainian cities.
• Nearly 9 million refugees left Ukraine.
• 6.6 million internally displaced persons.

Happy Independence Day to you and your brave country! It's sad that you have to celebrate it with this horror still going on. I saw the parade online, not exactly what Putin had in mind when he started this. I'm glad you've proved him wrong.

There are a lot of military training going on here on the coast of Sweden where I live. We are close to Norway (and Nato) and I guess they are beginning to coordinate with each other. Yesterday, the air was full of airplanes and even helicopters. I didn't pay much attention to them up until six months ago, but now I think of you when I hear them, and I'm so grateful that I don't have to hear air raid sirens before I hear the planes. Hope you can celebrate this day in some way, --Cart (talk) 21:23, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you!

Yesterday there were so many sirens that a significant part of the citizens of Vinnytsia could not visit grocery stores. During the air raid, markets are closed and do not receive visitors. The night at the beginning of August 25 also passed with two air raid sirens

George, thinking of you and your brave country. I wish there was more that I could do personally. Be sure that you and your countrymen and women are in many hearts across the world!! Buckshot06 (talk) 17:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Please undelete File:Tonsteinstollen 1 FB.jpg

Greetings from England! I'd like to request the undeletion of File:Tonsteinstollen 1 FB.jpg, which you deleted in 2021 (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Tonsteinstollen 1 FB.jpg). You deleted it for having no realistic educational use, but I have new evidence suggesting that it is of educational use: the file has been used on OpenStreetMap at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3177552633 since 2014. I think use on OpenStreetMap is educational in the broad sense described in COM:EDUSE and so the file should be undeleted. --bjh21 (talk) 10:24, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Bjh21, you can create a recovery request here.

September news

The retreat of the Russian army was so swift, a large number of trophies were captured. We now call this the new term "cascading fall of the enemy front." Over 3,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory liberated.
Trophies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in September 2022: 442 units of equipment, including serviceable ones, which can immediately be sent into battle 237 units. Ukrainians call these trophies "Lend-Lease from Russia".
Previously, the news channels reported on a number of trophies, indicating the types:

• Tanks 49
• Armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles 134
• Special vehicles 17
• Trucks and cars 50
• Artillery systems 28
• Multiple launch rocket systems 11
• Air Defense systems 5
• Unmanned aerial vehicles 6

A large number of Russian soldiers were captured.
In addition, many collaborators and their documentation were detained.

School teachers from Russia who arrived in the occupied territories were detained. Apparently, they are involved in the genocide against Ukrainians. In this case, genocide should be understood as the forcible transfer of children from one ethnic group to another group. Russian teachers wanted to teach Ukrainian children like Russians: according to the Russian school curriculum and with hatred for Ukraine.

Air raid sirens are still sounding in Vinnytsia. There was a power outage problem.
Traces of the war are visible on the people on the streets. Among passers-by, women with mourning black headscarves and young men with disabilities are increasingly visible.
City Telegram channels report every day about the heroes from Vinnytsia who died at the front.
My wife's nephew has not reported anything about himself for 5 days. He was on the front line, and we all hope that he simply does not have the opportunity to call.

The death toll in Izyum may be many times higher than the Buchanskaya tragedy, said Oleg Kotenko, Commissioner for Missing Persons under Special Circumstances.
Direct speech by Kotenko: “Now we are working on the exhumation of the bodies of servicemen. Then the bodies will be handed over to experts for subsequent identification of the dead.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of our work here, how many locations will still be found in the de-occupied territories is not yet known, but the harsh reality indicates that the death toll in Izyum may be several times higher than the Buchanskaya tragedy."
In the de-occupied territory of the Kharkiv region, the bodies of almost 50 dead civilians were found, a mass grave with approximately 445 graves was found near Izyum.
This figure does not include mass graves, where the bodies have not yet been exhumed. These bodies have been buried since March.

Russian translation on Wikidata

Hello George, a second ago I removed the ru:Открытые учебные курсы addition in Category:OpenCourseWare, as it is on OpenCourseWare (Q1258268). Since my knowledge of the Russian language is far from being perfect just wanted to find out if that is correct. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 06:08, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Lotje,

yes, your Wikidata edits are correct --George Chernilevsky ^talk 06:17, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Question

Only me again, I replaced this (peaceful) image on here, because I am pretty sure this bridge does not excist anymore. Wonder if there is an image available of how it is looking now. Would add it to the article. Thanks. Lotje (talk) 06:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello George, would you know what this is? Maybe the file should be deleted? I do not know. Thanks Lotje (talk) 11:25, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2022 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 in Ukraine

Привіт!

Цього року українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки» пройде з 1 по 31 жовтня — через російське вторгнення в Україну також довелося змінити умови: тільки світлини зроблені до 23 лютого 2022 року включно будуть прийматися в основній частині конкурсу.

В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже водинадцяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.

Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.

Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.

Цього року знову пройде спецномінація «Відео» — для участі робіт у цій спецномінації не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — роботи зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.

Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.

Приєднуйтеся!

Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.

Важливо! Цього року ми проводимо конкурс вже за чинним адміністративно-територіальним устроєм.
