Today, human rights defenders Marfa Rabkova and Nasta Loika spend their birthdays behind bars in Belarus. For Marfa, it is already the 6th birthday as a political prisoner.
Both were jailed for defending the rights of others. They must be freed and reunited with their families.
Imagine soldiers breaking into your home, killing you and your spouse, and taking your child hostage.
This is not a movie scene — it’s the everyday reality of Ukrainian families.
As Russia seizes new Ukrainian territories, its soldiers execute entire civilian populations — killing parents in front of their child, then taking the girl hostage and using her as a human shield.
And this is happening while world leaders stand at the UN General Assembly podium discussing the plight of children in armed conflicts.
A reconnaissance drone in Donbas captured Russian troops storming a civilian home, murdering the parents in front of their daughter, and dragging the girl away. You can even hear the voice of a Russian commander ordering: “Kill everyone except the children.”
Her fate is still unknown. And tragically, there are thousands of such stories. Russia claims it is “saving” children of Donbas. In reality, it makes them orphans by killing their parents — then distributes them into Russian families, where they are trafficked and sometimes turned into child soldiers.
At Save Ukraine, we will keep searching for this girl and rescuing others like her. Our team has already saved nearly 900 children from occupation, including more than 160 orphans — those most at risk of being lost to Russia’s system.
To rescue more children, we desperately need your help — to keep searching and saving while there’s still time. Because every child deserves life, safety, and a childhood.
🇱🇹Lithuanian prosecutors announced they have uncovered a network planning four terrorist attacks across Europe, using parcel services to ship incendiary explosives disguised as everyday items.
Investigators said a Lithuanian citizen, A.Š. (born 1973), sent four packages from Vilnius on July 19, 2024, via DHL and DPD. The parcels contained homemade incendiary devices concealed in massage cushions and cosmetic tubes, packed with thermite, a highly flammable substance.
Two parcels were bound for the UK, two for Poland.
One device exploded at Leipzig Airport (Germany) on July 20.
Another detonated in a DPD truck in Poland on July 21.
A third exploded in a DHL warehouse in Birmingham on July 22.
The fourth failed to ignite due to a malfunction.
Authorities stressed the devices were capable of causing severe fires with potentially catastrophic consequences.
A joint investigation team coordinated by Eurojust is working with agencies from Lithuania, Poland, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, the US, and Canada.
The plot was allegedly organized by Russian nationals linked to military intelligence, with ties to a foiled May 9, 2024 arson attempt at an IKEA store in Vilnius.
So far, 15 suspects from Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Ukraine have been charged. They were reportedly recruited on Telegram, promised cryptocurrency payments, and operated under strict compartmentalisation.
Police searches in Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, and Estonia uncovered more explosives hidden in canned food containers, plus detonators – equivalent to over six kilograms of TNT – possibly for further attacks.
The investigation remains ongoing.

This is what Russians do when they invade your country. They did in mine and nearly two dozen more.
“Territorial concessions?”
Witikoff thinks this is peace???
Powiem szczerze, choć na jest to popularna opinia w wielu środowiskach z którymi mam do czynienia - mierzi mnie hejt nakręcany na Ukraińców czy Białorusinów po koncercie na Narodowym. Ci których znam osobiście są porządnymi, zazwyczaj ciężko pracującymi ludźmi. Gdyby nie oni cały sektory usług, rolnictwa czy sadownictwa nie miałyby kim robić. A najbardziej martwi mnie los znajomego, rezulotnego, bardzo grzecznego ośmiolatka Matwieja z którym nie wszystkie dzieci chcą się bawić bo jest Ukrem. Owszem jestem zniesmaczony brakiem wdzięczności Zełeńskiego i jego progermańskim zwrotem ale wielu Ukraińców, szczególnie tych frontowców jest nim zniesmaczonych też. I od razu powiem - chętnie wziąłbym tych frontowców do szkolenia polskich żołnierzy bo nikt na świecie nie ma takiego doświadczenia w wojowaniu z nimi
As of now, as a result of Russia’s terror attack on Kyiv, 16 people have been killed, including 2 children and one policeman. Over 150 have been injured, including 16 children and 6 policemen.
Unimaginable scale of terror and brutality.
Rescue and recovery operations are still ongoing. All teams are working and trying to find more people under rubble. I am grateful to all of our brave first responders.
These brutal strikes were deliberate—these were Russia’s responses to everyone around the world who called for an end to the war. Terror in response to peace efforts.
We need powerful and synchronized pressure on the aggressor and a clear position of all responsible and peace-loving states. We can stop Russia and its terror together.
@krwczkkacper Neutralizacja tego etapu to trochę jakby zrezygnować z karnych w finale piłkarskich mistrzostw świata, zwłaszcza z góry. Następnym razem może być 30 sekund różnicy w GC...
To understand the use of starvation as a weapon in #Gaza, it’s important to know about #Biafra.
Biafra existed as a country from 1967-1970 after declaring independence from #Nigeria.
Nigeria used famine as a weapon, with results that shocked the world.
