Russian occupiers have resumed the export of stolen grain from the Zaporizhzhia region to the ports of Rostov-on-Don. They are seizing grain from agricultural producers for next to nothing, using Soviet practices from the Holodomor era. unn.ua/en/news/occu...

Ukrainian farmers face unimaginable challenges inflicted by Russia's war against Ukraine.

“Hunger is the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced...We [must choose] between death by starvation or death by killing in an attempt to get food from aid trucks.” –AFP journalist Bashar Taleb in Gaza, who is now too weak to continue working. time.com/7305308/gaza...

Alex de Waal: Israel & the int'l community have a window of opportunity to deliver lifesaving aid to millions of people. We can't wait til it’s time to count the graves of the children who perished, declare it famine or genocide & say “Never again.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/o...

The babies who were conceived during the famine and whose mothers were undernourished while their brains were being built—those brains were smaller. When those people were adults, their brains were wired in a different way.

These images are so disturbing and hard to see. 💔 But the world must look. Access to aid is a human right. Denying it is a war crime. 🌾⚖️

Max Weber Fellow Karolina Koziura traces the threads of memory, denial resistance surrounding recognition of the Holodomor famine genocide. She reflects on why expanding how we conceive political violence is a moral imperative in the pursuit of justice. www.eui.eu/news-hub?id=...
