President @ZelenskyyUa's ultimatum to Lukashenka worked. Belarus and Russia have switched off the relay stations on Belarusian territory that were helping guide Russian drones, at least for now. Ukraine has shown how to deal with dictators from a position of strength.

We need recovery now (not after the war is over). Not simply rebuilding, but modernization. Recovery needs to be human centered. And recovery needs partnership between all levels of society. @avalaina opens #CivilSocietyForum in Gdansk ahead of #URC2026.

🔴 Nobel Prize winner @avalaina Oleksandra Matciichuk on the humanitarian crisis in Oleshky / surrounding Russian-occupied areas. Thousands without food, under 24/7 drone attacks, used as human shields. Russia ignores international law. Economic sanctions needed.

“If we want to stop future wars, we must punish the states and their political and military leadership for starting them,” writes Oleksandra Matviichuk (@avalaina). In modern history we have only one precedent: the Nuremberg and Tokyo war crimes trials following World War II. Subsequent tribunals focused on war crimes but not the act of planning and initiating war. While Nuremberg and Tokyo were an essential step toward establishing accountability and justice in the last century, they have created the impression that justice is a privilege of the winners of a settled conflict. But justice is not a bonus— it is an essential human right. In May, 36 countries and the European Union committed to joining a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. The efforts were supported by the Center for Civil Liberties (@ccl_ua), the Ukrainian human rights organization led by Matviichuk. “We must break the circle of impunity and establish a special tribunal on aggression to hold them accountable, not just for people in Ukraine, but in order to prevent a next Russian attack to the next nation.”

“Genocide.” A firsthand account of the catastrophic conditions in Oleshky: no power, water, food, gas or internet. A woman who managed to escape talks about corpses left unburied in the streets, the deaths of family and neighbors, drone surveillance, forced Russian passports.

Another piece of Ukraine’s cultural heritage targeted by Russia overnight is Kyiv’s Mystetski Arsenal, one of the country’s main contemporary art exhibition spaces that also houses its main literary festival. The building dates back to 1803. The war is not about a piece of land in Donbas. It is about exterminating Ukrainians as a separate people with their own culture, their own past and therefore their own future.

The Dovzhenko film studio in Kyiv is one of the oldest centers of world cinema. Established in 1927, it’s where Dziga Vertov, Sergey Paradzhanov and obviously Oleksandr Dovzhenko shot some of their masterpieces. It survived WWII because its collection was evacuated to Central

The reported attack on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is not only an attack on Ukraine, but on cultural heritage and religious freedom. Even striking one of Christianity's holiest sites does not appear to be a red line for Russia and makes the Kremlin's claims defending faith ring hollow. Freedom House stands in solidarity with @Epifaniy and the people of Ukraine in defending religious freedom against Russia's ongoing aggression. The international community must hold Russia accountable and support Ukraine's freedom and sovereignty.

Russia is among the world’s worst persecutors of Christians. This heinous attack on one of Ukraine’s most sacred Christian sites is an awful expression of Russia’s anti-Christian violence. I am grateful to sponsor the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act to identify and sanction
