The teacher came to the supermarket, where the generator works, to conduct an online lesson on the street. Russia continues to ruin civil infrastructure. There is no electricity/internet in Kyiv. Russians want to take everything from us. We’ll not give them the children's future.

Three years ago, on these same days, I and part of my team were in Kyiv. We refused to evacuate to continue our work on the ground. When Bucha was released, we immediately sent mobile groups to work there. And we were shocked. All this hell that we faced in those days is the result of total impunity that Russia has enjoyed for decades — they have never been punished. Russians believe that they can do whatever they want. We must establish a special tribunal to hold Putin and other war criminals accountable.

My heart is with the people in Iran and their fight for freedom. Iranians have come into the streets peacefully, but met with brutal violence. For forty-seven years, the Islamic Republic has prosecuted people with censorship, bullets, detention, and torture. But this night is special. Iranians are in a communications blackout. Internet and phone networks were on the verge of collapse. It is not a technical failure. It is a tactic. I have no technical tools, but let me send brave people in Iran my love from Ukraine. Ukrainians know what it means to fight against an enormous opposing power while the world is just watching. So, let me make this clear publicly. You are not alone this night! We are thinking about you! We are praying for you! Be confident: ordinary people have much more power than they even realize. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things. It is you who create history. To democratic governments, international institutions, and, first and foremost, to freedom-loving people in different countries. We must speak up! I call on you, tonight, to demand an end to live fire against civilians, insist on the protection of hospitals and medical staff, and press for the immediate restoration of communications. Let’s help this darkness vanish! #freeIran2026

Russia’s use of sexual violence in Ukraine isn’t just a “consequence of war” – it’s a weapon aimed at breaking spirits and destroying lives. These brutal acts are war crimes that cannot be ignored. Survivors deserve justice, and Putin's forces must be held accountable. #StandWithUkraine

The longer Europe hesitates, the greater the risk that Russia will succeed in lifting sanctions. The next sanctions extension is in July and Hungary may veto it. Don't let that happen. The EU should finaly transfer $300 billion to Ukraine and #makerussiapay!

Faith in Ukraine is under attack. Russia's forces have desecrated religious sites, persecuted and tortured churchgoers and burned bibles. This isn’t just about control; it’s about erasing a people’s identity and resilience. We must defend religious freedoms as a human right. #StandWithUkraine

In this video from the rubble of a house in Kryvyi Rih, the body of Olena Kulyk (in the photo), mother of three, is being recovered. Later, the bodies of her children were also found. Kyrylo was 10 years old, Demyd was 2 years and 8 months, and the youngest, Ulyana, was only 2 months old. The only survivor from the family was the father, Roman. Can you imagine what Russia has turned his life into?

The Iranian regime hired three men to murder Iranian-American women’s rights activist and journalist Masih Alinejad at her home in New York. Fortunately, they failed. The court hearings are going on. This trial presents an opportunity to shine a light on the efforts of dictators to intimidate, harass, and even attempt to assassinate dissidents, activists, and others in the United States. My solidarity and support for Masih 💪 Renew Democracy Initiative Masih Alinejad 🏳️
