Ukraine - Rehab For Wild Ones: Helping an eagle fly again: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 7 Jun 2016
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.

#Ukraine - Trash Business: Escalating number of landfills endangers both environment, economy: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 6 Jun 2016
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.

#Ukraine - Exploring Ukraine's Underground Rave Revolution: i-D

i-D
Published on 31 May 2016
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.

#Russia - says Savchenko exchange deal was not linked to Minsk accords: euronews (in English)

Published on 27 May 2016
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 - Treating Ukrainian Veterans' PTSD With Service Dogs: Лікування ПТСР українських ветеранів з Послугами Собаки: VICE News

Published on 24 May 2016
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.

#Ukriaine - The Struggle to Find Ukraine's Missing Soldiers

Published on 19 May 2016
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.
