I am truly honoured to know talented Polina and her great mother @budagovska in person and honestly I wish we will be never forced to work together on this story because as Polina puts it: "War is the most terrible thing in the world." #Ukraine peopleinneed.pageflow.io/war…

No opportunities? They built their own! Young people in #Iraq are learning, leading, and turning ideas into impact. Peacebuilding isn’t the future. It’s already here.⚡

In southern Ukraine, we delivered fuel briquettes to 230 vulnerable families living near the frontlines, with US @StateDept support. This will help them overcome deep winter cold.

🇦🇫 #Afghanistan je především země se 40 miliony lidí, 40 miliony jednotlivých osudů a příběhů. Dlouhé roky konfliktů, opakující se přírodní katastrofy, dopady klimatické změny, ekonomické problémy a vylučování žen a dívek z veřejného života zásadně ovlivňují každodenní život milionů lidí. Už 25 let v Afghánistánu pomáháme lidem zvládat každodenní výzvy a společně s nimi hledáme dlouhodobá řešení. Podporujeme zemědělství, přístup ke vzdělávání, odolnost vůči přírodním katastrofám i možnosti obživy a podnikání žen. O životě v Afghánistánu, jeho obyvatelích i konkrétní pomoci mluvil náš kolega @petstf v podcastu Slepá mapa na @novinkycz. 🎧 Poslechněte si celý rozhovor: novinky.cz/clanek/cestovani-…

This is just an ordinary day in the life of Ukrainians. In reality, there’s nothing ordinary about it, but constant russian attacks have sadly made it routine. Nights of ballistic missiles and Shaheds, mornings without power, working from shelters, and news of strikes on apartment buildings, shopping centers, and universities, even in broad daylight and hundreds of kilometers from the front. Every single day. Ukrainians keep living, working, and supporting each other, but no one should ever have to get used to this. Support Sky Defense. Help bring ordinary, peaceful days back to Ukrainians. u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?utm_s…

Spending nights on cold metro floors while their children sleep, mothers in Kyiv are confronting the same question they faced at the start of the full-scale invasion: stay or flee. With daily air raid alerts stretching for hours and children spending full days in kindergarten bomb shelters, parents are making the agonizing decision to move to western cities like Lviv and Lutsk, where safety, too, remains fragile. kyivindependent.com/stay-or-…

Mourners gathered in Radushne in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Region on October 19 at a funeral ceremony for five children from the same family who were killed in an air strike on July 30. Their burial was delayed as investigators used DNA analysis to identify the victims. Five other members of the Voronov family had already been laid to rest shortly after the attack, which destroyed their home.

Another russian attack on civilians. An attack that served no military purpose, targeting children. Help protect Ukrainians from russian terror: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?utm_s…
