The UN reports that 1,396 civilians were killed in #Ukraine in the first half of 2026, a 37% increase from last year.

We must never lose sight of the people behind these figures.

Civilians must be protected and international humanitarian law must be respected.

[United Nations @UN]

Attacks across Ukraine continue to result in children being killed or injured.

The EU is mobilizing up to $1 trillion for defense investment through 2030.

Go dark, change identity and swap cargo. That is the playbook of Russia's shadow fleet.
