War in Ukraine

Russia and Iran already possess ballistic missile arsenals capable of striking cities across Europe and the Middle East. But interceptor systems remain scarce, expensive, and overstretched. Ukraine is now pushing for a coalition of European powers to build a continental missile defense shield.

“Occupation isn’t just a soldier at a checkpoint; it is every part of your day being quietly taken over, under the constant threat that it can end in 'the basement' or at the front line.” This is what life becomes for Ukrainians living under Russian occupation.
