Hundreds of drones, fire in the night and mourning across Kyiv — Russia is once again attacking not only people but memory itself, damaging the Alley of the Righteous Among the Nations in Babyn Yar. The United Jewish Community of Ukraine reported on the evening of July 31, 2025: "One of the affected sites was the Alley of the Righteous in Babyn Yar, a memorial complex included in the UNESCO list as a cultural asset under enhanced protection. This is already the third strike on Babyn Yar’s territory since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

It is especially important to expose how aggressor states, such as Russia, and terrorist groups, such as Hamas, turn other people's pain into propaganda, sow hatred, and distort reality, hiding behind the names of dead children . When the same tragic stories are repeated year after year — no matter where the war is happening — people eventually stop seeing real children behind them. Then the memory of the dead turns into an instrument for new wars, and mothers’ pain becomes a reason for political games. We write this article not just as a reminder: Russia, Ukraine, Gaza, Israel — these are not abstract geographical points, but the destinies of millions, including children who became hostages and victims of adult games, manipulation, and lies. Why now: manipulation of memory and consciousness Russia, Hamas and the death of children: how aggressors use children's tragedy to justify crimes The reason for this article was a new wave of Russian propaganda around the so-called “Day o...

The first thing many remember about the war is silence. That very deep silence that comes after the explosions of rockets, when it seems that the familiar world has disappeared overnight. For more than two years now, Ukraine has been living in such a reality, where under one flag stand Ukrainians, Jews, Russians, Tatars, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, and many others. Here, no one asks anymore about the nationality of your neighbor or volunteer—the war quickly erases formal boundaries between people. During these months, almost everyone who remained on their native land or was forced to leave has learned to distinguish the whistle of a "Shahed" from the sound of a regular motorcycle. Almost every family has someone who went to the army, joined the territorial defense, became a volunteer, collects generators, food, or money for drones. Russian missiles fall on residential buildings in Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kyiv—and in the lists of the dead and wounded there is no d...

"You have a lot of information, sometimes unique, about Iran" , says Ukraine's Special Representative for the Middle East, Maksym Subkh, in an interview with Israel Hayom on July 28, 2025, "and we also have important information that may be useful to Israel in countering the Iranian threat." These words were spoken after the visit of Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar to Ukraine — the first visit of this level since 2023, which, according to the hosts, "was initiated by the Israeli minister himself." In the last days of July 2025, Ukrainian-Israeli relations reached a new level: Kyiv officially offered Jerusalem an exchange of classified information on Iranian issues.

Military expert and former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe Ben Hodges sees three to four possible scenarios for ending the war in Ukraine. His forecasts include both grim outcomes for Kyiv and strategies based on successful Israeli practices. The interview with his analysis was published on July 25, 2025, on “Ukrinform” . Pessimistic scenario: the collapse of Ukraine According to Hodges, the worst-case scenario is the complete collapse of Ukraine . He considers such an outcome unlikely but does not rule it out if Kyiv loses political will and allies — the U.S., Europe, and Canada — stop their support. "The first and worst scenario is the complete collapse of Ukraine for any reason, including the lack of political will. This seems very unlikely, but let’s assume people are tired, and Russia somehow managed to break their will, and Europe, the U.S., and Canada simply gave up the fight," he noted. If this scenario becomes reality, Russia will not only absorb Ukrainian arm...
