Ukraine's Defence Forces liberated nearly 100 square kilometres of territory in May alone. Since the beginning of 2026, more than 600 square kilometres of Ukrainian land have been returned to Ukrainian control.

Dr. Hamza Abu Sabha, an orthpedic specialist at Nasser Hospital, was detained February 16, 2024 from Nasser Hospital while performing his medical duties. He remains in custody without charges or trial and has not had legal representation at any of his hearings.

During a conversation with him, Dr. Abu Sabha mentioned that he is still in daily pain due to a hernia he suffers from that requires surgery. He also mentioned that as of tosay he also suffers from hearing problem due to the violence he endured at the hands of prison guards.

Dr. Abu Sabha is among dozens of healthcare workers from #Gaza who are being unlawfully detained by Israel and subjected to inhumane conditions and ongoing medical neglect.

It is our responsibility to demand their immediate release.

Seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal killed by Israeli forces in Khalil, in the occupied West Bank, last night. Adding to the 22,000 Palestinian children already killed by Israel. Words of condemnation are meaningless while children continue to be killed.

The UK government must fulfil its legal obligations and take decisive action now, with robust comprehensive sanctions and all necessary measures to ensure accountability and uphold international law.

It's been 37 years since the June 1989 Tiananmen Massacre, when countless peaceful pro-democracy protesters were killed in Beijing.

To this day, the Chinese government has failed to accept responsibility for its crimes. Learn more:

It is clear to me that until Russia ends this invasion and the Lukashenka regime stops supporting Russia and halts its repression, athletes from neither country should participate in international championships, especially under their official flags.

We couldn't be less surprised that Reform UK's #Makerfield candidate is not only a sexist, homophobic, anti-migrant bigot, but a supporter of Russian imperialism.

That, not the nonsense explanation of being an ex reservist, is why he didn't want to talk about Ukraine 🧵

@lindseyhilsum is an excellent journalist but that pronunciation of Tyre on @Channel4News was a bit odd.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government https://t.co/PNfl5GnB0X

On 16-20 May 2022, the Ukrainian defenders followed an order aimed at preserving the lives of the garrison and left the Azovstal plant, where they had been fighting under full siege for 82 days.

They held defence as long as possible, becoming a true symbol of resistance to Russian aggression. The exit was supposed to guarantee them safety – however, the terrorist state disregarded all agreements.

Instead of respecting international humanitarian law, Russia dishonestly imprisoned the defenders, subjected many of them to torture and abuse, and killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is fighting for the return of its people. As of today, 9,260 military and civilian Ukrainians have been freed from Russian captivity, including the defenders of Mariupol. Yet many others remain imprisoned by Russia.

Never will we stop until every Ukrainian captive is home 🇺🇦

[UNITED24 @U24_gov_ua]

For 86 days, Azovstal defenders held the line in the last fortress of Ukrainian defense in Mariupol.
Between May 16-20, they began their retreat.

Over 2,500 of them were taken in russian captivity. Many still endure it.

Never forget Azovstal defenders.

The video published by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who is responsible for Israel’s detention facilities, in which he humiliates the hundreds of activists aboard the humanitarian flotilla seeking to break the siege on Gaza, is yet another testament to the moral collapse of the Israeli authorities’ treatment of Palestinian detainees and of those who seek to support the struggle against occupation, siege, ethnic cleansing, and the genocide of Palestinians.

The flotilla activists were unlawfully detained in international waters, while some of them are injured and in urgent need of medical treatment. Therefore they must be released immediately.

Yesterday, Ukrainians worldwide honoured the memory of the victims of the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatar people – one of Stalin's worst crimes.

Trends are worrying:

📊More than 5,900 Palestinians from 118 communities have been displaced since 2023 due to settler violence and related access restrictions.

📊Over 2,000 of them have been displaced since January 2026.

📊45 of the communities have been displaced in full.

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

In Havering, Reform won 71% of the seats on 36% vote share.

In Ealing, Labour won 66% of the seats on 30% of votes.

In Westminster, the Tories won 59% of the seats on 35% of the vote.

In Sutton, 44% of the vote gave the Lib Dems 93% of the seats.

In Birmingham's Tyseley and Hay Mills, a Green councillor won on 20.5% of the vote.

Under First Past the Post, whoever wins, the voters lose.

Another example of progressives splitting the vote in the Croydon Mayoral election.

This time, the Tories have been let in.

We need to mobilise the progressive majority NOW to stop the Right winning in 2029.
