Ukraine Defense Ministry

Russia does not stop striking Ukraine’s industrial facilities, tries to keep the temporarily captured territories, concentrates its efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces, implements equipment in the engineering aspect of the defense line, and continues to conduct offensive actions in certain directions.

During the current day, Russian forces launched 1 air strike, 2 missile strikes and more than 10 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of Ukrainian troops along the contact line.

In the Bakhmut and Avdiivka areas, Russia is concentrating its main efforts on conducting offensive operations. In the Novopavlovsk direction, the enemy is actively defending the captured lines. Conducts shelling from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery at objects in the areas of 21 settlements. Among them are Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Bilogorivka, Vodyane, Vugledar, Soledar, Mayorsk, Maryinka and Pervomaiske of the Donetsk region.

Russia is on the defensive in the Zaporozhye direction. Areas of 9 settlements were damaged by enemy artillery fire.

In the Kryvyi Rih and Kherson directions, Russia is creating an echeloned defense system, improving fortification equipment and logistical support of advanced units, and not stopping artillery fire at the positions of our troops and settlements on the right bank of the Dnipro River.

We must remain principled in countering Russian aggression, joint action is true peacekeeping – speech by the President of Ukraine at the annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

This year the world saw how important the contribution of Ukrainians to global food security is – address by the President of Ukraine.

President of Ukraine on the Day of Dignity and Freedom: We will overcome everything. Endure. Survive. Prevail. And on the Day of Dignity and Freedom, we will gather on Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Where dignity and freedom have always been protected. On the granite, on the barricades during the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity. Where we celebrated the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence. And where we will celebrate the Victory Day of Ukraine. In a peaceful Kyiv, in a peaceful Ukraine.

Forced displacement represents one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time. Individuals and families, torn from the fabric of their communities, find themselves navigating a world of uncertainty, often without basic necessities or a clear path to safety. There are currently some 110 million forced displaced, and this number is growing by 10 million each year!

At the heart of this crisis are the political triggers. Armed conflicts, ethnic or religious persecutions, and systemic human rights abuses force millions to flee their homes in terror. Many are displaced within their own national boundaries, while others seek asylum abroad. If these factors change as a result of political shifts at home or the pressures from abroad, they can return to their homes. Forced displacement is thus different from environmentally driven displacement, as victims of climate change may never be able to return to their homes.

The ramifications of any sort of displacement are profound, not just for those directly affected, but also for host communities and countries. Overburdened infrastructures, socio-economic strains, and cultural tensions can arise, necessitating comprehensive strategies to foster harmony and integration. Yet the root causes of forced displacement can be remedied with a concerted focus by local players and international diplomacy.

Organizations like Refugees International play a crucial role in this arena, advocating for the rights and needs of the displaced, conducting on-the-ground assessments, and influencing policymakers to take informed actions. Their relentless work underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgency ofinternational cooperation. But they, too, are overwhelmed by the rapid expansion of the crisis.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL), with its core principles centered on the protection of civilians during conflicts, plays a pivotal role in this discourse. Yet, despite clear legal frameworks, compliance remains
inconsistent. This initiative emphasizes the importance of upholding and reinforcing these international standards.

It’s not just about recognizing the problem; it’s about active engagement. We urge governments, organizations, and individuals to prioritize the rights and needs of the forced displaced. Through collective efforts, informed policies, and sustained advocacy, we can shift the narrative from passive acknowledgment to proactive intervention.
