War in Ukraine

For months, residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky have been living without regular food deliveries or access to essential medicine. Some have reportedly been forced to eat grass, pigeons, and even dogs to survive. Now, a temporary ceasefire secured through the US offers hope of humanitarian aid and evacuation. 

From peace talks in Abu Dhabi to Europe’s role in security guarantees and Ukraine’s air defenses, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy laid out what it would take to end Russia’s war.

The skies above eastern Ukraine no longer belong to pilots or artillery, but to the constant hum of suicide drones. In the corridor guarding Donetsk’s last fortress cities—Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, and Kostiantynivka—Ukrainian defenders from the Rubizh Brigade and 1st Azov Corps rely on robotic resupply vehicles and underground shelters to survive what troops call the Kill Zone.
