🇪🇺 European countries have drafted an alternative peace plan for ending Russia’s war against Ukraine — one that is far closer to Kyiv’s position than the proposal from the Trump administration, The Telegraph reports

The EU plan does not require Ukraine to limit its army, abandon NATO membership, or adopt neutral status. It calls for an immediate ceasefire, strong US–EU security guarantees, no territorial concessions, the return of key infrastructure, and reconstruction funded partly by frozen Russian assets.

The proposal comes as negotiations continue in Geneva, where US, EU, and Ukrainian representatives are holding intensive talks on possible frameworks for ending the war

European countries have prepared an alternative peace plan to end Russia's war against Ukraine — one that differs significantly from the proposal put forward by Donald Trump's administration and takes Ukraine's interests into much greater account. This was reported by The Telegraph, as cited by Ru...

Lviv has received Ukraine’s first VR simulator designed to help patients manage phantom limb pain 🙏

People who undergo amputations often face not only physical trauma but also persistent phantom sensations that are exhausting and can slow down rehabilitation.

VRNOW is a modern virtual system that helps reduce phantom pain and restore musculoskeletal function through specially designed VR environments. The technology is based on Virtual Limb Mode, which creates a virtual model of the missing limb. This sends a signal to the brain that the limb is "present," reducing the intensity of pain and helping patients regain a sense of control over their bodies.

🕯️ President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska honored the memory of the Holodomor victims

"We all know how and why millions of our people were starved to death and how millions more were never born. And once again, we are defending ourselves against Russia – a Russia that has not changed and once again brings death. We must stand united in our defense, just as we are united in preserving our national memory," wrote the President of Ukraine 💔

Mass fish die-off and lost fisheries and spawning grounds: How Russia's war has affected Zaporizhzhia waters

🌊In the fall, residents of the left bank of Zaporizhzhia, a southeastern Ukrainian city on the Dnipro River, discovered dozens of dead fish floating in a local pond. A few months earlier, a similar scene was observed along the banks of two other bodies of water in the region. The air was thick with a sharp, unpleasant smell, and the surface was covered with the lifeless bodies of pike perch, common carp, bighead carp, and silver crucian carp. Fish kills in the wider Zaporizhzhia region are not a new phenomenon.

Over the past five years, the area has documented nearly half a million dead fish. Yet, 76% of that total occurred in 2023 alone. SODA looked into how the full-scale war has affected the region's fish populations and fisheries📝

Today, Ukraine honors the memory of the victims of the Holodomor 🕯️

Ukraine remembers the millions of people whose lives were taken by the Holodomor of 1932–1933, as well as the mass artificial famines of 1921–1923 and 1946–1947. These were deliberately orchestrated crimes by the Soviet regime, aimed at suppressing the Ukrainian people, their culture, and their right to freedom.

The Holodomor left a wound that still aches today, yet the memory of it gives us strength to preserve the truth, defend our dignity, and prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.

On this day, we unite in shared mourning. A lit candle is a symbol that every life matters, and that a nation that remembers its history cannot be broken.

🪖The 156th Air Defense Missile Regiment of the Ukrainian Air Force has received British Terrahawk Paladin anti-aircraft systems.

The system is mounted on a MAN HX chassis, from which it can be quickly unloaded if necessary. The installation also features additional protective screens for the radar.
