The war in Ukraine. The biggest armed conflict the world has seen since the Second World War. The most devastating invasion in the heart of Europe since the days of the Nazis and Hitler, one that has created millions of refugees, destroyed homes and raised the threat of all-out nuclear war to unimaginable levels. I think it has never been greater, especially since the end of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States.
As a society, we often look at various countries we admire and strive to achieve the same level of development. And this is justified. In my opinion, in order to develop and become better, we need to have great examples to look up to (especially when it comes to countries that started with almost nothing but managed to create a cool and successful nation of happy people in a relatively short period of time).
Hello everyone. My name is Ivan, and I am the co-founder of the NGO Student Journalism Platform and the editor of the online publication Truthful Reporting. I would like to inform readers that in the coming weeks I will be launching my podcast, where I will cover a wide range of topics, from scientific discoveries to global issues such as climate change, from the war in Ukraine to the future of democracy. So it should be interesting and enriching, so I invite you to support this project by listening to the upcoming episodes.
You have probably all heard of Stephen Hawking. He’s certainly a world-famous name, an eminent physicist and cosmologist whose discoveries have radically changed our understanding of things like the nature of black holes and the origin of the universe, and even more impressively, he has spent most of his career doing this amazing research while confined to a wheelchair. Today, I’d love to share an incredible biography about him that I’ve recently become obsessed with.
Contemporary youth in Ukraine are concerned about the country’s future, yet they hold the key to addressing our current and future challenges. One of the difficulties many of them face is employment. Ukraine should adopt the best practices from the EU to attract the youth, as many young professionals seek opportunities abroad, leaving our country in search of solutions.
The war’s components are decisions, experiences, and stories. Only by listening to every heart, you can truly understand it.
A part of wounded soldiers and doctors were taken from the Azovstal to the occupied territories of the Donetsk region a month ago. Ukraine is still going to exchange them for Russian prisoners.
What is happening today with the wounded defenders of Mariupol?
It’s a month since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. During all this time we have been bravely defending our own state.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. The war, without exaggeration, changed the lives of each of us. We have created the “Diary of War”, dedicated to the struggle of our state against the occupier. We invite students, journalists and historians to share their thoughts with us.
Oksana Grytsenko is a famous Ukrainian journalist, playwright, and screenwriter. As a war correspondent, she’s covered a lot the occupied regions of Donbass and Crimea. We asked her to give our students some advice on how to report in conflict zones.
What is the meaning of human life? After all, our dreams, hopes, and achievements will have no meaning after death, when the dead body will simply lie underground as food for worms. Is this really true? What is the value of what I write, and does it have any value at all?
