This is the unfinished homework of 14-year-old Daniel Umansky. On the morning of September 25, Daniel was sitting in his room in Kyiv, doing his homework.

Cutting arms to Ukraine brings torture, sexual violence, disappearances, filtration camps, more deaths. We couldn’t be more supportive of Nobel Peace laureate, true human rights defender, @avalaina.bsky.social in her answer to @franceskalbs.bsky.social. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

How do they plan to repay this "gift" from Putin's oligarch?
I was on an advocacy trip abroad, where I could sleep at night without explosions above my head and didn’t have to carry a tourniquet in my bag in case of massive bleeding. But we still carry everything with us regardless.
Oleksandra @avalaina.bsky.social Matviichuk, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Ukrainian human rights activist: All this hell which we now face in Ukraine is a result of total impunity which Russia enjoyed for decades.
Air raid alerts have been sounding continuously, day and night, in Kyiv over recent days. They sound dozens of times a day.
We have the best people in the world working in air defense. But we don't have the missiles to protect ourselves. Trump changed his mind about giving us a license so that Ukraine could make these missiles itself. And my favorite city Kyiv is covered in craters like these.
On the night of July 28-29, 2022, a powerful explosion occurred on the territory of the former penal colony in occupied Olenivka. Ukrainian prisoners of war were being held there in a separate barracks.
This is funny. Putin celebrates Russian Navy Day with a poster depicting the sea and a submarine. The tradition of Potemkin villages continues,
‘Kateryna Savenko’s Diary’ has been published. She lived in Mariupol with her beloved husband and daughter. On the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion, she began to record the events she was experiencing. There are just 34 entries in total, after which the diary tragically ends.
I arrived in Kyiv late at night and a rocket attack began almost immediately. It was incredibly loud; the house was shaking and the doors were banging. After such a long journey, I had hardly any strength left. I’m so tired of these sleepless nights.
Yesterday I was in Düsseldorf at the wonderful Asphalt Festival 2026. The event took place at an art museum right on the riverbank.
How interesting. Even pro-Kremlin pollsters are being forced to acknowledge a sharp drop in Putin’s approval ratings.
Today, July 17th, on the Day of International Criminal Justice, it has been exactly 12 years since the Malaysian Boeing MH17 was shot down by the Russians military personnel in Donbas. 298 people, including 80 children, lost their lives that day.
At a meeting of Nobel laureates at the Vatican, we discussed the threats posed by the rapid development of AI.
Yesterday I spoke in Brussels before the Ministers of Foreign Affairs. For the first time in all these years, the EU Council discussed the issue of illegally imprisoned civilians at the highest level. As a result, a joint EU-Ukraine statement was adopted.
In this photo, I am with Francesco Chiamuleri, the founder of Una Montagna di Libri, an international literary festival that has been held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, for 34 years. It is a stunningly beautiful place. This year, I had the honour of opening the festival with a speech on just peace.
Putin is waging war against mothers and their children. The Russian army cannot win on the battlefield. The Russians are not strong, they are cruel. That is why they launch daily attacks on the civilian population, trying to break Ukrainians' resistance.
From the pages of The Economist, Putin addresses the leaders of democratic countries with a simple message: It is wrong to put pressure on Russia, so you must change your approach and, as before, silently acquiesce to all the crimes of the Kremlin.
Yesterday, at a meeting of the Global Foresight Council in Paris, we discussed security. War has changed dramatically over the past five years. At the start of the full-scale invasion, I refused to evacuate and remained in Kyiv, which the Russians were trying to encircle.
We do not choose the time we are born, nor the country we are born in. But we always have a choice - to be honest people, or not. I am again at the Moldova airport. France is ahead.
The war has taught me a simple truth. Thousands of things that people consider important in their lives are, in fact, of no value whatsoever. And there are literally just a few things worth living and fighting for.
I drove into Kyiv whilst Russian missiles were being fired. The birds were singing, explosions were rumbling – it all seemed surreal. Sadly, there were many casualties.
My plane was delayed. And I didn't make it to the connecting flight. So I'll be on the road all night. I dream of the days when airports in Ukraine will work.

Ukrajinská nobelistka o ruskej vojne pre Pravdu: Poviem vám príbeh, ako malému chlapcovi pred očami uhoreli rodičia
Vladimir Putin vníma Ukrajinu ako most do Európy. Je veľmi naivné myslieť si, že stratil stovky tisíc vojakov, aby obsadil Avdijivku alebo Bachmut.

"Every barrel sold finances another Russian missile” @avalaina.bsky.social has spent years documenting war crimes in Ukraine. Her message is a reminder that fossil fuels don't just fuel the climate crisis, they also finance conflict and suffering. #FossilFreeFuture #PeaceForUkraine
Õiglus ei peaks sõltuma sellest, kuidas ja millal sõda lõpeb. Kui tahame tulevikus ära hoida sõdu, peame karistama riike ja nende juhte, kes praegu sõdu alustavad, kirjutab Oleksandra Matviitšuk. @avalaina.bsky.social #LennartMeriConference
Euroopa muutuvas maailmas – Diplomaatia
See oli täiemahulise invasiooni neljas talv. Ja see oli väga raske. Vene rakettide ja droonidega hävitati tahtlikult energiataristut, millest sõltub tsiviilisikute ellujäämine. Jaanuaris ja veebruaris...

What is important to understand about Russia’s night-time attack on a world-renowned Christian landmark in Kyiv. They deliberately struck the Lavra—built during the era of Kyivan Rus’, when Moscow itself did not yet exist—with a Russian drone.
