#Azov

Russia’s newest naval vessel may look like a corvette, but it has no weapons and only one real purpose: to serve as a floating training pad for naval helicopters.

A rally organized by five women in Kyiv grew into Ukraine’s most recognizable civic activism campaign, gaining global traction and offering hope to the families of the missing.

Two years after the fall of Azovstal, the fate of hundreds of Ukrainian prisoners of war, including members of the Azov brigade, remains uncertain. Held by Russia in undisclosed locations, they are denied contact with families, exchanges, and access to international observers. Why?
