Unicef ukraine humanitarian situation report february 2018DonbassFullAccess
Overview:
Recurrent ceasefire violations continued to threaten the well-being of the more than 200,000 boys and girls living within 15km of each side of the contact line, many of whom continue to suffer the risk of exposure to gunfire and shelling, ongoing disruption of health, electricity and water services and related psycho-social stress.
While UNICEF and the Government of Ukraine provide psychosocial support, the impact of ongoing hostilities on children, their caregivers and educators, remains a serious concern. Ceasefire violations also frequently damage critical water, sanitation, electrical and heating infrastructure, threatening access to safe drinking water challenging for 3.7 million people in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts as well as educational and health institutions.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
