Help the Humanitarian Research Lab Keep Finding Ukraine’s Abducted Children The Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at Yale helps to locate and bring back Ukraine’s children who have been abducted by Russia. But without additional funding,

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare.

Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home.

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

The 2nd roundtable is chaired by Amelie Tolvin @amtolok.bsky.social. Now discussing a lasting peace for Ukraine, and the conditions for such. Couldn't agree more with the crucial underlining of Ukraine's agency in this.
