A new UN report confirms Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine amount to crimes against humanity. Years of evidence, thousands of victims — and still, no justice. When will the world finally act?
On May 18, 1944, one of the most traumatic — yet least acknowledged — genocides of the 20th century began. Over 200,000 Crimean Tatars were forcibly deported from their homeland by Stalin’s Soviet regime in an event now known as the Sürgünlik. Entire families were torn from their homes with just 15 minutes to pack,…
President Zelenskyy beautifully addressed the nation on The World War ll Remembrance & Victory Day, walking along Khreshchatyk street, in the center of Kyiv, among his people, to the large memorial site on Maidan, where people have placed little flag in memory of the life’s lost in russias full scale invasion of Ukraine. Below you…
Ukraine’s most legendary fighting force just made history again — and this time, the world is invited. The 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov, known for its unmatched combat record and unbreakable defiance, has officially launched its first-ever International Battalion. For the first time, foreign volunteers from the U.S., U.K., EU, and beyond are being recruited,…
It is simply Impossible to read the news about the Ukrainian journalist Victoriia Roshchyna without feeling tremendous pain & anger. I have previously written about Victoriia here on this website, Victoriia Roshchyna: The Ukrainian Journalist Murdered by Russia for Telling the Truth Now her body have been returned to Ukraine from russian captivity and the…
The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people has issued a powerful statement—and it deserves the world’s attention. They categorically reject any attempt to recognize Russian control over Crimea. Because Crimea is Ukraine. Let’s be clear:Any recognition of russian occupation in Crimea is not just wrong, it’s a violation of international law, of Ukraine’s sovereignty and…
The Children of War: They deserve to be protected I’m not going to lie, I cry little rivers every now and then. Drowning in emotions isn’t strange when living and working in a country at war; you see an overwhelming amount of the absolute worst and absolute best of humanity several times a day. The…
Sanctions were supposed to cripple Russia’s economy, cut off its ability to finance the war against Ukraine, and pressure the Kremlin into compliance. Instead, Russia has found countless ways to sidestep restrictions, ensuring a steady flow of revenue while undermining Western efforts. From shadow fleets transporting sanctioned oil to front companies purchasing Western technology for…
The post highlights the bravery and sacrifice of Ukrainian soldier Andrii, a former sports journalist, who left his career to join the army amid the ongoing war. Stationed near Kurakhovo, his battalion faces intense fighting and lacks sufficient resources, relying on limited fundraising efforts. They urgently need specialized equipment for their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, with a current fundraising goal of $8,000, of which $5,000 has been raised. The author calls for donations via PayPal and Monobank and encourages sharing the message to raise awareness and support for smaller battalions that vital to Ukraine’s defense against aggression.
Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) face horrific treatment in Russian captivity, including torture, starvation, and abuse. Photographers Kostiantyn and Vlada Liberov document these grim realities through powerful images of soldiers who survived years of torture. Despite their physical scars, they exhibit immense resilience, with a determination to prevent future atrocities. Russia’s systematic violence constitutes one of the largest genocides since World War II, and the global community must confront these war crimes rather than look away. Supporting organizations like United24 and Come Back Alive can help alleviate the suffering of Ukrainians and provide critical assistance.
Ninety-five Ukrainian heroes have returned home after years of captivity by Russian authorities, with 28 facing illegal sentences in sham trials. Included are National Guardsmen and Azov fighters, who endured unimaginable conditions, highlighting the plight of many still imprisoned. This exchange, marking the 58th since Russia’s invasion, has brought some relief, as seen in emotional reunions between families. However, the trauma of their experiences necessitates ongoing health treatments and support. The struggle for justice and solidarity must continue as many remain captive and suffering.
The war in Ukraine has led to a staggering humanitarian crisis, with millions in need of aid. Russia’s aggression has caused relentless attacks on infrastructure, leaving many without essential services. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on children, and the death toll among civilians is likely higher than reported. The impact of the war will be felt for generations.
In May, Ukraine experienced a surge in Russian attacks, resulting in 31% more civilian deaths compared to April. Over half of the 864 casualties occurred in Kharkiv, including devastating missile strikes on a printing house and a home improvement store. The attacks on infrastructure and civilians highlight the urgent need to support Ukraine against Russian aggression.
Ukraine is engaged in a dedicated mission to locate and bring home nearly 37,000 missing citizens, including many children, unlawfully detained by Russia since 2014. Efforts include advocating for ICRC access, forming working groups, and pushing for accountability. Ukraine’s unwavering commitment aims to ensure the safe return of all missing civilians.
