A nightmare… the drawn-out suffering of Ukrainians. Today it’s one city, tomorrow another. Today it’s a woman and her child under the rubble of their own home; tomorrow, an elderly couple.
…there are always differences between people, but would you ever have the heart to drop a guided aerial bomb on civilians? I don’t think so. That is the difference between russians and the rest of the world. This is the city of Zaporizhzhia, and this is a residential neighborhood of private houses.
We Ukrainians have traveled a long road, a specific stretch of these hard times, and one can only guess where the end is and what it will be for each of us.
The longer I live, the more I see and hear, the better I understand how fragile human destiny truly is. Today you are fed, content, and sleeping on your own sofa, while ahead of you wait difficult times that you don't even suspect, yet they are already waiting for you…
While rallies are being held in some cities across my country today over the decision regarding the resignation of the Minister of Defense, a move that most Ukrainians are unhappy with-in cities like Zaporizhzhia, many people have other things on their minds.
Peaceful protests against the resignation of Mykhailo Fedorov as Minister of Defense of Ukraine are taking place today in many cities across Ukraine, specifically in Kyiv, Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kryvyi Rih, Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv. Video: Yan Dobronosov, "Telegraf"
In Kharkiv, just 30 kilometres from the front line, russian aerial strikes are a daily reality, claiming civilian lives and damaging homes and essential infrastructure. Watch how UNHCR is helping residents of the city restore neighbourhoods, and supports communities.
Cowards and their cowardly acts… that is the only thing one can say to the faces of these russians. This was just a simple street, a quiet, peaceful courtyard in a residential neighborhood of Kyiv.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the residents of my country's capital to close their eyes at night...
When one person kills another, it’s murder, and no matter the reason, measures are taken immediately. But when one nation kills another, it is simply called "war," and by calling it that, you can kill thousands of people, even every single day-after all, who is going to stop you…
But what happens when these reserves are completely depleted, when you are on the edge, or feel utterly empty…
"Staying strong in Ukraine" requires immense effort. I believe that every person possesses hidden, invisible reserves of inner energy and strength, including the strength of the spirit. These are the reserves we hold for life's emergencies.
This is Maria, she is 96 years old. Due to the intense activity of russian drones, it was impossible to reach her house by car. So, the police had to save her using a tried-and-true method, a garden wheelbarrow turned into an improvised stretcher.
