Sirens fill the streets. Police cars flash passersby with blue lights. The capital city pauses. But no one’s phone buzzes with alerts. No one seeks shelter. No one scans the sky for missiles. The scene is Warsaw, not Kyiv. Every year on Aug. 1, at 5:00 p.m., sirens wail, and civilians stop to remember the start of the Warsaw Uprising. This year, the 80th anniversary of this armed resistance against foreign rule coincided with Taylor Swift’s concerts in Warsaw. It was a moment of cultural collision: Polish scouts in uniform stood beside visiting fans dressed in sequins. Even the Swifties were i...

Ukraine has the second-highest number of HIV cases in Europe, a fact easily forgotten amid Russia’s ongoing war. As of 2022, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health’s Public Health Center reported that over 157,000 Ukrainians are virus carriers. The dangers associated with HIV/AIDS have only escalated amid the war, as access to medical services becomes complicated and contact with blood increases. Awareness of the epidemic also deteriorates as both media and public attention shift toward more immediate threats. Ukraine has, however, become a regional leader in combating this epidemic, including throu...

Ukraine's parliament passed on Aug. 20 a much-debated bill banning activities of religious organizations with ties to Russia, a country whose armies are currently occupying large swathes of Ukraine's land. The legislation – falsely spun by pro-Kremlin actors as a "ban on Christianity" – is primarily a tool to force communities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) to finally sever all ties with the Russian Orthodox Church. "The church in Ukraine will be free from Moscow's influence," commented Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff, just a f...

Moscou (AFP) - Vladimir Poutine a accusé jeudi l'Ukraine d'avoir tenté de frapper la centrale nucléaire de Koursk, dans la région russe éponyme, en proie à une offensive des forces de Kiev depuis deux semaines et où doit prochainement se rendre le chef de l'AIEA. L'Ukraine a lancé le 6 août des milliers de ses soldats à l'assaut de cette région russe frontalière, s'emparant de dizaines de localités et de plusieurs centaines de kilomètres carrés.
