Many Ukrainians with civilian professions joined the military after Russia launched its full-scale invasion – many choosing to serve as combat medics.
On the frontlines, they save lives every day by treating the wounded, evacuating soldiers under extreme conditions, and training others in lifesaving skills.
Read the stories of Ukrainians who left careers as journalists, IT specialists, or students to take up the mission of saving lives on the frontlines.
Defending its freedom and independence, Ukraine has become a beacon of military innovation, constantly pushing the envelope of what is possible in modern defense.
From shooting down Russia’s hypersonic Kinzhal missile to the creation of the world’s first dedicated military branch for unmanned systems, Ukraine is redefining the future of defense technology.
These revolutionary moments mark a new chapter in military history, one where technology, strategy, and bravery intersect.
💔 Russian missile and drone attacks continue to target entire Ukrainian families, stealing the lives of parents, children, and loved ones in deliberate acts of violence. These crimes must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. We honor the memory of the families whose futures were stolen by Russia.
107 years ago, Ukraine was internationally recognized as an independent state – even by Russia.
And what do you think happened next? You guessed it – Russia attacked.
Read on for the details ⬇️
On February 9, 1918, Ukraine signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Türkiye, and Bulgaria.
💬 It stated: "The Ukrainian people have declared themselves independent…They wish to take the first step toward a lasting and honorable peace for all parties."
In exchange for food and raw materials, the Central Powers provided military aid to Ukraine to fight off Bolshevik aggression.
For many years, Russia has been using energy as a weapon.
For Moscow, it is a political lever, a tool for humiliating and threatening sovereign states, a source of corruption, dependence and blackmail in interactions with foreign politicians.
On this background, the pan-European trend is the rejection of Russian energy supplies, increasing energy independence, diversification of supply sources and, as a result, increasing energy security for every European family and household.
A recent example of the rejection of Russian gas is Austria, which for many years had no alternatives to energy supplies from the Russian Federation, but eventually found the opportunity to abandon them thanks to the wise and far-sighted policy of the government.
