Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Back when Taras had both of his arms, he liked to play his Lira, an instrument popular in Ukraine since the 17th century.
But after his left arm was blown off in Bakhmut last year, he had to find another way.

Hi folks, it’s Alessandra here.
When I told Taras I was writing an article about folk music in #Ukraine he asked if I had ever heard of the Kobarskyi Tsekh.
I had not.
Tim Mak
The Kobarskyi Tsekh is a community of Ukrainian folk musicians that Taras belongs to.
Although he is not currently able to perform, he still makes sure to attend all of the events.
Tim Mak
‘It’s lucky that you are writing this now, because there is a very important concert that is about to take place,’ Taras says to me, while shifting to adjust the empty sleeve on his left side.
The Kobzarskyi Tsekh held the concert to commemorate the birthday of a famous Ukrainian musician.
Tim Mak
The interior of the building is what one might expect from a Soviet era museum: faux marble floors, windows draped in heavy velvet curtains and the smell of damp.
But when you find the entrance to the concert hall, you find something you would likely only find in Ukraine.

Taras made this instrument himself:
“Look at how fine it is. Is it not fine?”
He smiles proudly and leans the body of his cappucino-coloured Lira forward to admire the glossy back and run his index finger along the instrument’s edge.

NEWS OF THE DAY:
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA TARGETS UKRAINE:
#Russia spreads propaganda on social media to polarize Ukraine.
The campaign aims to destabilize Ukrainian society by undermining trust in its leadership, dividing elites, demoralizing troops and demotivating population.

UKRAINE REPELLED THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE IN THE SOUTHEAST:
#Ukraine repelled Russia's offensive last Saturday on the Zaporizhzhia front.
The Ukrainian troops have destroyed 18 out of 30 pieces of Russian equipment.
70 Russian soldiers were killed and approximately 80 were wounded.
Tim Mak
RUSSIA CAN REPEAT TACTICS USED IN AVDIIVKA:
#Russia can successfully scale up its Avdiivka capture tactics if the West keeps delaying military assistance to #Ukraine.
The Russian success relied on the mass use of glide bombs, which provided air support to advancing infantry troops.
Tim Mak
He fashioned a strap which allows him to carry the Lira.
But for the time being, he cannot play the instrument, as it requires two hands if you want to play more than one note.
Taras hopes that in a few months will he get his prosthesis and get back to playing the instrument he loves.

@mk @timkmak @collectifission
You mean he got arrested for breaking the law (countries being invaded generally frown upon foreigners who come and announce troop movements)
Then he got arrested AGAIN for publicly announcing he intended to skip bail.
Then he died for being a fucking moron.
