Russia's war is destroying more than Ukrainian cities — it is also devastating life beneath the surface of the Black Sea. Frontliner explains how the invasion is turning one of Europe's most unique marine ecosystems into a silent casualty of war.
The war has transformed the lives of Ukraine's hundreds of thousands of service members and their families. Frontliner examines what support is available to service members and veterans in 2026.
The sound of a tiny drone has become as alarming to Ukrainians as an air raid siren. Frontliner examines how FPV drones are changing civilian behavior and what people should know about staying safe.
The war has blurred the line between the front line and the rear. Frontliner examines how civilian safety is changing around military and strategic facilities during wartime.
Social media algorithms have become far more influential than conventional media at capturing attention. Short-form video has emerged as the primary way many young people experience current events. Frontliner examines how this is shaping teenagers’ understanding of war.
Ukrainian children are about to spend their fourth summer under wartime conditions, where even school vacations are shaped by air raid alerts, missile threats and security restrictions. Frontliner looks at how families are organizing children’s vacations without creating false expectations about safety.
Since the start of the year, Russia has launched at least 291 ballistic missiles against Ukraine. The old logic of “getting to shelter after the siren” is gradually becoming ineffective.
As of 2026, Ukraine has nearly 1.8 million veterans, and the number continues to rise. But frontline experience does not guarantee an easy return to civilian employment. In some cases, it creates additional obstacles.
Ukrainian cities increasingly resemble spaces of endless repair. Frontliner looks at how repair became a defining mode of survival for the country in 2026.
Air raid sirens no longer bring cities to a halt the way they did during the first years of Russia’s full-scale war. But in 2026, that adaptation is becoming a separate threat of its own, Frontliner reports.
