War in Ukraine

Inside a Ukrainian prisoner-of-war camp, the war captivity stories of Russia’s foreign fighters unfold with a mix of defiance, regret, and denial. These men came from Somalia, Egypt, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and beyond—drawn by promises of passports, salaries, and futures Russia could never deliver.

Russian missiles and drones killed 18 people overnight in Ukraine, including children and teenagers. This came just two weeks after the meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska, where the Russian leader spoke about his readiness for peace talks.

Russia’s large-scale overnight attack on Kyiv severely damaged Ukraine’s rail infrastructure—a critical logistical artery. Moscow deliberately targeted key civilian railway hubs.

After a wave of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and a seasonal price surge, Russia’s fuel sector is sliding deeper into crisis. Ukraine’s disruption of logistics is proving effective, as civilians grow unwilling to endure the Kremlin’s “everything for the front” policy.

With thousands of American long-range ERAM missiles on the way, Ukraine may soon strike depots, supply hubs, and the vital arteries of Russia’s war machine.

In Denmark—hundreds of kilometers away from Ukraine—little Luka celebrates his 5th birthday. “Make a wish!” his mother says, holding a candle-lit cake. “I wish we were in Ukraine!” Luka answers. Like millions of other Ukrainian children, the boy was forced to flee his home due to Russia’s full-scale war, and now—dreams of returning.
