'Europe—which includes the E.U. and the U.K.—cannot just react when their house is on fire. It is becoming increasingly clear it cannot trust the Trump Administration to bring the war in Ukraine to an outcome which is favorable' My latest for TIME time.com/7336513/trum...

Ukrainian Institute in London, which is doing so much for promoting Ukrainian culture, is hosting a fundraising evening on June 25, featuring @oliahercules.bsky.social, Felicity Spector and many others, including me! Please come join us, tickets here www.tickettailor.com/events/ukrai...

If you are in London, please go and see this powerful performance running at Arcola Theatre until 28 June. The Reckoning is an impressive reminder of Russia's crimes committed in Ukraine and of the work of journalists who collect witnesses' testimonies www.arcolatheatre.com/whats-on/the...

People who call it 'escalation' when Ukrainian drones hit legitimate military targets in Russia, never mention that Russian drones are deliberately hunting and killing Ukrainian civilians. Russian bombers apparently deserve protection more than the Ukrainian people www.hrw.org/report/2025/...

Putin said he will have to bomb Ukraine even more - and Trump didn't contradict him. That's all you need to know

Here's your reminder that the planes Putin complained to Trump about were used by Russia to bomb Ukrainian civilians and kill at least 20,000 people in Mariupol alone. Ukraine had every right to destroy them and protect its civilians cepa.org/article/ukra...

The new Pope Leo XIV chose Ukrainian president Zelenskyy for his first call to a foreign leader: very welcome news and hopefully a precursor to a more grounded in reality position of the Catholic church re Russia's war on Ukraine

I spoke to @abcnewsbot.bsky.social Radio National about my former colleague, Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, who was illegally arrested on the occupied territories, tortured and murdered in a Russian prison. Russia's war crimes cannot go unpunished www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Growing outrage at brutal murder of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna. Tune in to listen to her colleague @olgatokariuk.bsky.social abc.net.au/listen/progr... via @abcaustralia.bsky.social

Yesterday we published our investigation into torture & death of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna. Now, what I & several Guardian colleagues have been working on for past few months: inside one of Russia's worst torture prisons for Ukrainians www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

It is chilling. Viktoria Roshchyna was the bravest of journalists, willing to risk torture & death to "remain faithful to our mission, to convey the truth to the world” about Russia's occupation. For those who wonder why Ukrainians fight, and even for those who know why, this is necessary reading. 👇

Read what was done to this young journalist in Russian captivity. And then think about what it means for Trump to look at Zelensky and say to Americans: "You see the hatred he's got for Putin. It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hatred. He's got tremendous hatred.”

The story about the life and death of journalist Viktoria #Roshchyna, killed by #Putin‘s men / #Russia, must be told again, and again, and again.

⚡️ Viktoriia Project: a story of captivity and torture endured by journalist Roshchyna and thousands of Ukrainians imprisoned by Russia

“the exact cause of death may never be known because when her body was returned during the exchange on 14 February, certain parts were missing, namely the brain, eyes and larynx.” ‘Numerous signs of torture’: a Ukrainian journalist’s detention and death in Russian prison I’m out of words.

NEW: Russia is once again preparing to escalate the forced removal and deportation of Ukrainian children during the upcoming summer months. (1/3) Russian Occupation Update, April 28, 2025: isw.pub/OccupationUp...

Also: it wasn't Putin who killed Viktoria Roshchyna. Someone in the Russian prison system did it, having a licence to kill from the top. The perpetrators of this terrible crime must be identified, found and brought to justice. We, people who knew and loved Viktoria, will make sure this happens

'There are fewer than 10 air defence systems in Ukraine – this is simply not enough. Recently,Ukraine’s president made a request to the US to buy – not to be given – 10 additional Patriot systems.Trump treated it as a joke, as an example of Ukrainian warmongering' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Pavlohrad. Russia struck an apartment building, killing at least 3 people and injuring 14 others, including 3 children. It turns out "Vladimir, STOP" isn't working. What now?

Ok, again. In 2014, when russia launched its invasion, Ukraine held official non-aligned status enshrined in law. Ukraine was a neutral country. This war did not begin because of Ukraine’s NATO aspirations. It started and continues because russia seeks to restore its empire.

🕯️ Kyiv neurologist Yaroslav Kozlov lost both of his children, 21-year-old Nikita and 19-year-old Sofiia, during Russia’s missile attack on the capital on April 24.

Kyiv mourns 12 killed in violent Russian attack. Largest flag lowered in their memory

If you are Ukrainian, it's very difficult not to lose faith in humanity, justice and anything good in this world now. The betrayal is in the air, we are being accused of the war that has been unleashed upon us. Former partners side with our enemies. Past promises of support are forgotten.

The body of Ukrainian journalist, my former colleague Viktoria Roshchyna, has been returned to Ukraine, six months after her death. Viktoria was detained by Russia on the occupied territories of Ukraine, where she reported from. She was imprisoned in Russia, tortured and killed. She was just 27.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

⚡️Ukraine brings back body of journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna tortured in Russian captivity, official says. Ukrainian officials confirmed Roshchyna's death on Oct. 10, 2024, but said that the circumstances were still under investigation.

🤬 Footage of the aftermath of the Russian attack on Kyiv: 8 people were killed in the attack, about 10 are still being searched for under the rubble of a destroyed house. ❗️A total of 11 missiles hit Kharkiv, injuring 6 people, one of whom is a child, — OVA

Russia bombarded Kyiv early today, just hours after Donald Trump criticized Volodymyr Zelenskyy for dismissing a proposed peace deal that would recognize Moscow’s control over Crimea.

Russia killed eight civilians in Kyiv tonight. A missile hit a residential block. Ukrainians say that this night's attack - on multiple cities - was one of the fiercest since the start of the war. That's how Russia reacts to appeasement: by doubling down, encouraged and rewarded for its aggression

⚡️Kyiv targeted in mass Russian missile and drone attack. Fires have been reported throughout the city. A round of explosions occurred in Kyiv around 1:00 a.m. local time on April 24, according to a Kyiv Independent journalist on the ground.

Russia senses blood

Unable and unwilling to pressure on Russia to end its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the US is now shifting the blame on Ukraine for refusing to accept 'a deal', which would undermine Ukraine's existence as an independent and sovereign state and threaten Europe's security. This is not a solution

🚨 Russia killed 2.5 times more Ukrainians during the 22-day US-brokered ceasefire than in the 22 days before it—72 civilians dead in 8 attacks. The April 13 strike on Sumy alone killed 35.

Real hero

⚡️'First to suffer' — Russia singles out Poland, Baltics in threat to NATO. These countries have shown "high aggressiveness" towards Russia and are "constantly rattling their weapons," Russia's Foreign Intelligence Director Sergey Naryshkin said on April 15.

Russian ballistic missiles ripped through the busy center of Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy on Sunday, officials said, killing at least 34 people and striking terror into residents who were out enjoying Palm Sunday and attending morning church services. cnn.it/4jcRXfN

Her name was Olena. A Russian missile killed her today in 🇺🇦 Sumy. One of 34 dead (so far). #StandWithUkraine

russia, russia, and only russia is to blame for starting this war.

Note that the question Trump is answering was about Patriot missiles: those for the air defence systems. They are not used for striking Russia, they help to protect Ukrainian civilians from Russian missile strikes. Like the one in Sumy just yesterday that killed 35 civilians, including two children

Russia killed at least 21 people in Sumy, northern Ukraine, today, on Palm Sunday. Two ballistic missiles hit the center of the city. More than 80 people are injured. This attack made absolutely no sense other than to terrorise civilians and to showcase Russia's impunity.

The war is much closer to Europe than it may seem. How to stop it? #MakeRussiaPay: confiscate $300 billion in frozen russian assets and use the money to strengthen Ukraine’s army and Europe’s defence. Europe has the resources - what’s missing is courage.

Ukraine's foreign ministry summoned a Chinese envoy to Kyiv today, after president Zelensky announced that the Ukrainian armed forces have captured two Chinese citizens, who fought for the Russian army, as POWs

This is Tymofii. Russia killed him with a cluster-loaded Iskander missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. He was only 3 years old. #Ukraine

Millions of Ukrainians who fled Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 are now facing pressure to return. @olgatokariuk.bsky.social speaks to some caught in a difficult dilemma in her story ⤵️ www.chathamhouse.org/publications...

"The terse and threatening email stunned Ukrainians across the country when it landed in their inboxes Friday, advocates for immigrants said, leaving parents shaken and children in tears." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Trump doesn't care about the lives of American soldiers, just as Putin doesn't care about the Russian ones. That's one of the reasons they get along so well

A Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian president's hometown of Kryvyi Rih on Friday killed at least 16 people, including six children, according to Ukrainian authorities. The strike also injured over 50 people.
