🏆The inclusive competition "Northern Outpost" for wounded veterans was held in Chernihiv. About 300 participants from 18 regions of Ukraine participated.

Participants had the opportunity to show themselves in nine sports, including bench press, team bench press, rowing on a simulator, air bike, kettlebell sn**ch and press, seated volleyball, table tennis, speed archery, and petanque.

🗣️"'Northern Outpost' is an annual reminder of Ukrainians' indomitable spirit. It's a great opportunity to meet, talk, and test yourself — and to prove to yourself that a full life after injury is possible. Events like this help with both physical and mental recovery. Many thanks to Ukraine's Ministry of Veterans Affairs for supporting these competitions, because sport is one of the key forms of rehabilitation for our veterans," said Ivan Vashchenko, deputy head of the Chernihiv Regional State Administration.

Can mining be "green"? Solutions and possible alternatives

📝There are more and more global discussions about the risks and opportunities connected with lithium, a critical material for the green transition. Ukraine, home to one of Europe’s largest lithium reserves at the Polokhivske deposit, faces both enormous potential and serious challenges.

Its only licensed operator, UkrLithiumMining, has been criticized for murky permits, environmental concerns, and unclear processing technologies. Scientists warn that without transparency and innovation, extraction could harm public health and ecosystems♻️

This research carried out by Рубрика \ Rubryka - Solutions from Ukraine (Ukraine), and Zeitenspiegel Reportagen (Germany) analyzes which social and institutional initiatives in Ukraine and abroad can help create safe, sustainable frameworks for lithium use and what their limitations are.

For example, while Ukraine has barely discussed alternatives like recycling, Germany is already putting battery reuse and recycling into practice, recovering valuable raw materials and reducing waste. In the US and Japan, lithium and other minerals are successfully extracted from produced waters, turning toxic byproducts into industrial resources.

To succeed, Ukraine must adopt transparent governance, invest in innovation, and align with EU standards. Only then can it unlock its lithium potential without sacrificing public health and the environment.

This collaborative project is developed thanks to the support of Journalismfund Europe and the mentoring and support of Transitions Online👨🏻‍💻

🪖Ukraine has developed a domestic analogue to the widely used DJI Mavic reconnaissance drone, with the first batch of 1,000 units already delivered to frontline troops.

Comparing it with the Chinese DJI Mavic, the Ukrainian drone has:
🔹an increased flight radius;
🔹the ability to carry a larger payload.

The copter can be used for reconnaissance and strike missions, particularly with free-falling munitions. The significance of Ukrainian drones entering this niche is hard to overstate: they provide close-range reconnaissance on the front line and support assault units. Thanks to their compact size and ease of use, they're employed by specialized UAV operators and regular infantry.
