#Russian occupation

Although billed as economic talks, the U.S. -Russia negotiations in Istanbul signal a shift—business over principles. With Moscow’s rare earth deals on the table, the focus shifts from ending the war to legitimizing Russia’s land grab.

For Ukrainians, peace is not just an end to fighting—it is the full restoration of their land, the return of their people, and accountability for those who waged war against them.

In the shadow of relentless shelling and under the iron grip of Russian occupation, ordinary Ukrainians like Maria, Server, and Valentyn endure unimaginable hardships.
