In her monumental work, Darya Tsymbalyuk insists the world must reckon with the full cost of the destruction in Ukraine — not just in hectares lost or tons of grain burned, but in the severed roots that once tied generations to the land they called home.

New book exposes Russia’s ecocide as a war against Ukraine’s land – and memory

When Russia destroyed Ukraine’s Kakhovka Hydroelectric Dam in June 2023, unleashing catastrophic floods across the country’s south, it seemed like such a blatant act of environmental and humanitarian ...

In Croatia, the Picasso pizzeria has started delivering its pizzas using flying drones.
We also use (pre-build) flying drones. Only we don't deliver pizza. We deliver something that contains a lot of hot peppers, to use culinary terms.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister picks up on my statement from above, likening Russia's strike to attempted genocide.

Again, the world will shrug and not do much. Some more statements, some sanctions, some generators. A band-aid on a gaping wound.
Stop all trade with terrorists NOW!

Not much but still a mention on the 🇨🇭national radio and TV network which, incidentally, does not provide daily news on Ukraine.

That currently ballistic missiles and drones are, as every other week, hitting one of Europe's oldest national capitals is not really news anymore.

Maybe it will be reported in worldwide mass media tomorrow. Maybe it won't.

Greetings from Kyiv.

⚡️Ukraine is still under massive Russian missile and drone attack.

Nationwide air raid alerts followed the launch of a Russian MiG-31K, with explosions rocking Kyiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia.

⚡️Update: 'Missiles, one after another' — 9 injured, outages in Kyiv amid mass Russian attack on energy infrastructure.

Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight Oct. 10, injuring nine people, causing a residential building fire, and a blackout in the city's left bank.

'Missiles, one after another' — 9 injured, outages in Kyiv amid mass Russian attack on energy infrastructure

"From the explosions that just occurred — a ballistic missile attack is ongoing. Missiles one after another, air defense is active," Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko said.

💔 Once home to 60,000, Pokrovsk now stands in ruins. For over a year Russia has sought to encircle and capture the city.

About a thousand people stay behind there with no power, gas, water or internet, their lives at daily risk.

#Belarus Andrzej Poczobut, journalist and political prisoner, was thrown again in a punishment cell for six months until February 2026. His health is very weak, yet the regime punishes him even more. His conditions and treatment expose ongoing human rights abuses.

Bc neutrality is nothing but a lie, that only serves one's own interests, enabling swiss companies to make huge profits with whoever is teady to pay the price.

Why Swiss Tech Still Ends Up in Russian Weapons Despite Neutrality and Sanctions?

Microchips made in Switzerland turning up in Russian drones show that neutrality today is as much about supply chains as diplomacy.

⚡️Russian drone hits maternity hospital in Sumy.

Everyone managed to take shelter in time, and no casualties were reported. The fire has since been extinguished by first responders.
