The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
A
new treatment and recovery facility is now open in western Ukraine.
But... its patients aren't whom you would think of right away. Getting
healthy again is the priority for these wild animals, most of whom are
listed in the Red Book of Endangered Species.
Halych National Nature Park located in western Ukraine is set to become the new home of two eagles and buzzards.
The
birds all have a reason to come here. All of them fell victim to street
photographers seeking quick cash from unsuspecting tourists. In an
unprecedented court case launched by the Halych National Nature Park
staff, the judge ruled against the photographers ordering the birds to
be immediately confiscated and sent to the rehabilitation facility.
Three
firemen killed in the landslide at a Lviv region junkyard were laid to
rest this weekend. The body of the fourth victim, an ecologist is yet to
be found. The rescue operation had to be terminated due to the severely
dangerous conditions at the Hrybovychi waste site.
The tragic
incident certainly brought attention back to the systemic issues within
Ukraine's recycling industry. According to ecologists, garbage sorting
and recycling is nothing more than a myth to Ukrainians. Nearly all
discarded stuff end up at landfills just like the one in Hrybovychi
regardless whether it is glass, wood, or paper.
Ukraine does
have one garbage recycling plant. Located in Kyiv, the facility that was
built in 1986 continues to operate today, continuously converting waste
to alternative energy sources.
A
Frenchman detained last month with a large cache of arms was planning
mass attacks during the Euro 2016 football tournament, which starts on
Friday, Ukrainian officials say. The man, identified by French media as
Gregoire Moutaux, 25, was arrested on the Ukrainian border with Poland.
The
2014 revolution brought Kiev nightlife to a complete standstill. As
protests turned into riots, and government security forces opened fire
on protestors, the country fell into crisis. But out of the ashes of
revolution has risen a new generation. Slava Lepsheev, who’d lost his
job because of the financial crisis triggered by the war, had had
enough, and started Cxema, a raw, hard and hypnotic techno rave that he
took to whatever semi-legal venue he could set a soundsystem up in. So
together with Slava, and the city’s brightest young lights, we followed
young Kiev as they prepared for a night at Cxema, from building the
venue to watching the sunrise break.

The
combined Russian-separatist forces attacked Ukrainian army positions in
eastern Ukraine 49 times in the past 24 hours. This is according to the
ATO HQ.
More than 30 cases of the use of weapons by the enemy
against the Ukrainian defenders were recorded from Thursday evening to
midnight.
Ukraine's
president Petro Poroshenko said on Friday the leaders of France,
Germany, Russia and Ukraine -- the "Normandy Quartet" -- have agreed on
deploying an OSCE police mission to Ukraine's eastern region of Donbass.
He was speaking in Kyiv a day after Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there had been no such agreement.
"Today,
we have made a big diplomatic breakthrough. A common agreement on the
OSCE police mission deployment was made not only at the highest level of
the ‘Normandy Quar…
Ukraine
and Russia are in a deadlock over the repayment of Kiev's three billion
dollar debt to Moscow. Ukraine is refusing to repay a loan it received
from Russia back in 2013. Keiv claims the money was taken under an
illegal agreement.
The
handover of Nadiya Savchenko in return for two Russian prisoners who
were flown back to Moscow was cast as a humanitarian gesture by Vladimir
Putin.
Moscow has strongly rejected any suggestion that the exchange was connected to the Minsk agreements.
One of the key terms struck in the Belarusian capital was the release of all hostages and other illegally detained people.
"It’s a myth, which is being spread for unclear reasons, that the Savchenko case and the exchange of the Ukrainian citi…

Ukraine
was in many ways unprepared for the war against the Russian-backed
separatists of the DNR in the country’s east. Its army, after years of
mismanagement and corruption, was left with just 6,000 combat-ready
troops, and its hospitals had never had to deal with the kinds of
horrific injuries sustained by both soldiers and civilians.
The
embattled country was even less prepared to deal with the psychological
aftermath of the conflict; Ukraine had not been at war since the '80s,
when PTSD was only just beginning to be recognized as a disorder.
With
state care for people suffering with psychological trauma severely
lacking, it has been left to a number of different NGOs to fill in the
gaps in treatment. Hero's Companion, a Canadian organization, trains
service dogs to help Ukrainian veterans with their war trauma.
Detained Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko 'has arrived in Kyiv' in a prisoner swap with Russia, reports say.
She
had been captured and put on trial in Russia where she was found guilty
of complicity in the deaths of Russian journalists who were killed by
artillery while covering the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Savchenko
is said to have been exchanged for two Russian servicemen convicted of
involvement in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Jamala's
parents say they're upset with Crimea residents' negative reaction to
their daughter's Eurovision song about the Crimean Tatars deportation.
Sara Hemrajani reports.
During
the course of the war in eastern Ukraine, hundreds of Ukrainian
soldiers have been either captured as POWs or gone missing during the
fighting.
During the battle of Ilovaisk in August 2014, Ukrainian
soldiers became encircled by Russian regular soldiers and separatist
fighters. After intense negotiations the Ukrainians eventually managed
to secure safe passage to leave the town. However, that never happened.
As the Ukrainians fled the town in their vehicles they were ambushed and
slaughtered. It's thought up to a thousand soldiers were killed and
hundreds more were captured.
Many of these POWs were released
over the course of the following week, however some were summarily
executed and others still remain missing.
Families of the missing
soldiers have had to endure a torturous and bureaucratic process to
find their sons, passed from one ministry to another, with some families
having to travel to rebel territory themselves to search for them. VICE
News spoke with a British journalist, Lily Hyde, who has been
documenting the efforts of families struggling to find their sons and
with one mother who continues to wait for her son to return home, 18
months after he went missing.

This
is a documentary production by Radio Quebec back in 1983 that discusses
the forced Famine Genocide in Ukraine by Stalin and his henchmen - ie:
his generals at that time. The video is descriptive and includes a
number of interviews of the survivers of this Holocaust.
The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомо́р, "Extermination by hunger" or "Hunger-extermination"; derived from морити голодом, "to kill by starvation") was a ...
