    The murder of Viktoriia Roshchyna shows: The Kremlin is losing control over its torturers

    On August 8, 2025, people in Kyiv bid farewell to Viktoriia Roshchyna, a 27-year-old journalist tortured to death while in Russian captivity. Her killing shocked the international community and became another stark reminder of Russia’s brutality and lawlessness.

    Surviving a double Tap: Rescuer Pavlo Petrov and the new norm of repeat strikes in Kyiv

    During a recent mass missile-and-drone attack on Kyiv in the early hours of 6 June, a Russian kamikaze drone ignited a large fire in buildings on Vadym Hetman Street near Shuliavska metro station, a busy transit hub on the capital’s Red Line just west of the city center. As firefighters, rescuers and the DSNS press team worked the scene, a deliberate “double tap” drone strike — now a grim new norm in Kyiv — hit the same spot. With U.S. deliveries of air-defence munitions growing uncertain, such follow-on strikes threaten to become even more frequent and deadlier.

    In a central Ukrainian city, families fight to reclaim dignity for their fallen soldiers

    Local authorities promised to bury every fallen defender at public expense, yet the mourners who trailed a cortege of three soldiers through town witnessed indignities money had not fixed. Widows and mothers were left convinced that the state’s help fell short.

    Racing against missiles and time, Ukrainian doctors deliver lifesaving heart transplants

    An ambulance pulls away from Ukraine’s Heart Institute, a state-run facility in Kyiv, at 1 a.m. It speeds along at 150 kilometers per hour (93 miles per hour), occasionally turning on its sirens, as almost all the roads are empty. The destination: Korosten, a small town in the Zhytomyr region of northern Ukraine, approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of Kyiv and near the border with Belarus. There, a deceased donor’s heart can save a seriously ill patient.

    Gen Camp: healing the invisible wounds of Ukrainian children

    What happens to children after they lose a family member in a war. What if they lose multiple family members and home in a single strike? If they’ve watched a parent get murdered as they tried to escape? How does a child learn to live with what they’ve seen and experienced?   Generation Ukrainian started […]

    «I gave the children just a normal day.» – Meet Pimbo, the Italian clown returning smiles to Ukraine’s frontline kids

The children go wild, jumping up and down, squealing in delight as they try to pop the bubbles before they float away. For over nine months, this Italian performer has brought joy and laughter to […]

    Avdiivka, Ukraine – After being treated for near-fatal wounds from a shell explosion at the hospital in Myrnohrad, Viktor made up his mind and walked 50 kilometers back to his besieged hometown, Avdiivka. He casually points to scars on his legs, torso and even face. His body is marred by shrapnel wounds. However, that’s nothing […]

    Kamianka: a bird’s eye view of a destroyed village near Izium

    Kamianka is a village near Izium in the Kharkiv region that was literally wiped off the map by the russians. There is not a single house left standing. The formerly rich farming village has been caught in the crossfire since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, as it lies in a valley between two heights. […]

    Steel warriors guarding the border: training fighters to liberate the occupied territories

    It is noisy in the clearing. “Man down! Medic!” “How you doing, buddy? Can you hear me?” “Cover!” “Contact on the left!” The grenades that explode are drill grenades. The moans of the ‘man down’ are somewhat theatrical and mixed with witty remarks like, “Be quiet—you’re unconscious! Or maybe not, you’d better be conscious!” But […]

    Lost lives and millions spent: the cemetery of russian missiles in Kharkiv

    Each Russian missile that strikes Ukraine costs a million dollars — and claims a life. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Kharkiv has suffered relentless attacks from cruise missiles, ballistic weapons, multiple rocket launchers, and artillery shells. The impact goes far beyond physical damage — it leaves behind broken lives, deep trauma, and communities […]
