Її катували струмом, забивали цвяхи в коліна, влаштовували імітацію розстрілу, а у камері вона намагалася покінчити з собою, але вижила.

Олена Пех провела шість років у російському полоні: два - у в'язниці, чотири - в таборі.

У 2014 році Олена з донькою виїхали до Одеси. Але через два роки в її матері стався інсульт, і жінка почала регулярно їздити на окуповану територію, щоб доглядати за нею.

Під час одного з візитів її викрали й звинуватили у співпраці з українською владою.

Перші місяці її катували, знаючи межу болю: струм, протигаз без повітря, фізичне насильство. Від болю вилазили очі, тіло розривало зсередини та відкривалася кровотеча.

На колінах досі шрами від цвяхів, які вбивали б��окнотом. Були й сексуальні приниження, здирання одягу, постійні образи: "українська підстилка", "жидівська тварюка".

Двічі її виводили до стінки й стріляли з кулемета над головою.

Одного вечора охоронець приніс хліб і яблуко, - вона не з'їла, натомість попросила відро води, а за батареєю знайшла шматок металу.

Спочатку хотіла повіситися, але ноги діставали до підлоги. Тоді вирішила порізати вени. Тупим металом шкребла шкіру, доки дісталася вен, і кров потекла у воду.

Уранці її камера "розкрилася". Волосся прилипло до підлоги від крові. Її перетягли �� іншу камеру, перев'язали та облили водою. Коли вона отямилася, - то вже нічого не боялася.

Най��олючішим виявився удар від рідних. Через два роки адвокатка дала Олені ознайомитися зі справою.

Серед доказів були свідчення матері й сестри, які звинувачували її в тому, що вона за Україну, а вони - за росію.

Їй дали 13 років, "пришили" державну зраду. Своє останнє слово вона сказала коротко: "13 років - за що?".

Триматися їй допомагала любов до доньки та рідкісні дзвінки, в яких донька зі сльозами казала "Мамо, про вас забули".

За кілька днів до обміну її змусили написати прохання про помилування на ім'я Путіна, а через три дні оголосили: вона помилувана.

Далі були дев'ять годин до Москви, ніч в одиночці, потім автобус, мінне поле і наказ бігти.

І лише коли росіяни зникли, вона почула українською: "Ви вже вдома".

Сьогодні Олена живе в Німеччині. Полон змінив її назавжди: вона уникає людей, розмовляє з деревами та робить руками шкатулки, щоб заспокоїтися.

Її мрія - щоб Господь вимкнув у людей здатність створювати зброю. А особисте щастя для неї - у щасті її доньки.

- Giorgia Meloni- PM of Italy :

"No serious signal has come from Moscow so far. Those signals are now necessary. We continue to support every genuine effort toward a just and lasting peace, but peace cannot mean Ukraine's surrender or the acceptance that aggression is rewarded.

Any negotiation must be based on international law and on Ukraine's sovereignty."

She is great, as always 😉

These people are full of emotions, empathy and pain💔

Volodymyr Zelensky came into office without losing his humanity. Power increased his responsibility, but it never changed who he is. True character is a gift❤️‍🩹

Please don't stop supporting him, don't stop supporting brave defenders. Don't stop supporting Ukraine🇺🇦.
They still need our help. 🫂❤️🇺🇦

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Russia has spent $1 billion in the last few days attacking Kyiv. Not building roads, hospitals or fixing the failing economy - on murdering civilians. This is the priority of a nation totally obsessed with terrorism and nothing else.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

They both survived Hamas captivity as hostages in Gaza.

Tonight, they married each other.

We will always celebrate life and love.

My heart is with the people of Ukraine. For the past few years, we've dedicated this moment during The Rhythm of My Heart to the strength, courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Every night, the crowd joins together in support. In light of the recent horrific attacks on Kyiv, I hope this small tribute reminds you that people all over the world continue to stand with you.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

One day after the U.S. signed a deal with the Islamic Republic، the regime in Iran, handed Parastoo Ahmadi 74 lashes for singing on YouTube.

They call America the Great Satan. And then they flew to the table and signed a deal with the «Devil«. But a woman’s voice scared them more than any superpower ever could.

A regime that whips women for showing their hair and singing, there’s not a normal government.
This is called apartheid against women.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Evian. In recent times, India and Ukraine have been engaging extensively. This has been reflected in different areas of our cooperation. Our talks today were about reviewing different aspects of our cooperation. We both agree that trade ties need to be restored to what they were in the pre-war time. Also reiterated that India will always be on the side of peace, placing the values of humanity over everything else.

I cannot believe what I’m witnessing in Kyiv tonight. Priests at the Kyiv Lavra one of the holiest Christian sites in Europe are rushing to save crucifixes, icons and sacred artefacts while Russia attacks the city.

This is what Moscow’s “Christian values” look like.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.

This is what russia is destroying.

The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”

It’s literally barbarism.

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

It is absolute madness in Iran.

The ceasefire has made the surviving regime rabid and intoxicated.

These parades reportedly happen all the time, including nighttime where they will scream islamic chants and intimidate normal Iranians trying to sleep. If anyone complains, or even speaks to other people, the regime will arbitrarily arrest them on invented charges.

Do not abandon Iran, President Trump. Do not forget your initial promise was to help the people, not impose a nuclear deal.

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

🚨 BEFORE THE EXECUTION… THIS IS WHAT SHE FACES 🚨

An Iranian…. Niloufar Esfahani… 18 years old… from Qazvin.

Arrested alongside her mother during the 2026 protests… her only “crime” was demanding dignity and freedom.

Within days, a revolutionary court sentenced her to death by hanging.

And now the reports circulating are even darker…
Very dark..

Malevolency.

Allegations that she could be subjected to sexual violence before execution… tied to long-documented abuses reported by former prisoners and human rights observers inside Iran’s prison system. This is done as these people believe that execution of a virgin result in her going to paradise… so to prevent that they sexu@lly abuse her.

Let that sink in.

An 18-year-old girl… facing death… and possibly unimaginable violation beforehand.

This is why people around the world continue to sound the alarm about what happens behind those prison walls.

If even a fraction of these reports are true… it is a complete collapse of basic human decency.

Niloufar is not a headline.
She is a human being.

And the world is watching… or at least it should be.

Say her name. Demand transparency. Demand accountability.

[European Democrats @democrats_eu]

The chant “Europe, Europe, Europe” rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar @magyarpeterMP is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

🔥 Dancing minister goes viral!

A victory dance by Zsolt Hegedűs has racked up over a million views overnight.

He’s one of the key figures in Péter Magyar’s team and a leading candidate for Hungary’s health minister.

A top orthopedic surgeon, he spent years working in leading UK clinics before returning to Hungary in 2015 to reform the healthcare system. He is now developing Tisza’s healthcare reform plan.

A future minister who can both operate and light up the dance floor. Seen the video yet — what do you think?

[Siaxares 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 @siaxares]

Speaking as someone inside Iran who stayed connected through Starlink during the total blackout, I can sincerely affirm the real mood across the country right now:

We are relieved the ceasefire negotiations collapsed.

The spirit inside Iran and the genuine desires of the people stand totally against any truce or bargaining with this brutal regime — particularly figures like Ghalibaf, a murdering psychopath who has countless Iranian blood on his hands.

Every form of engagement or compromise with the Islamic Republic is strongly opposed by ordinary Iranians. We are determined to complete the uprising we launched in January. Any support the international community — above all the United States — can offer is deeply appreciated.

For nearly five decades we have suffered relentless torture, sexual violence, executions, degradation, and sorrow at the hands of this tyranny. The outside world has no real grasp of the extent of our pain. The Iranian public feels zero concern for Hezbollah, yet the regime is ready to endanger the entire nation for them. They have always prioritized their terrorist proxies over the well-being of their own citizens.

We exhausted every peaceful option: huge street demonstrations, open resistance, attempts at gradual reform, dialogue — you name it. None succeeded. The regime’s consistent reply has been gunfire, nooses, and fresh waves of fear.

With the talks now broken down, I’m writing this from inside Iran with mixed emotions of anxiety, hope and grief. Whatever unfolds from here, most Iranians will feel a sense of release. No price is too steep to get rid of this evil regime and the price of letting this nightmare drag on is far greater, and for many of us, even dying feels better than one more day under these monsters.

This reflects the authentic voice of the majority of Iranians — a people who frequently lack internet access, global reach, or any platform to speak.

When we lose internet access, the Iranian diaspora becomes our voice abroad. While the ceasefire talks dragged on, they took to the streets in protest, clearly showing the world that we reject any negotiation with this regime and want Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to represent the Iranian people — because no one inside this regime ever can.

As I have said before, the world will soon see why we declare:
Anything for freedom. Anything to destroy this evil.
