In 1930s, Soviet Russia brought Holodomor to Ukraine - to starve Ukrainians and stop the resistance. Now, a hundred years later , Russia is doing the same to Oleshky , starving people there, not letting food in and not letting people out . Please ask your politicians to urge access to Oleshky .

Twenty-seven Ukrainian journalists remain imprisoned in Russia today, some reportedly subjected to torture. When Russia released 120 Ukrainian civilians in a May 2026 exchange, not a single journalist was included.

Studying how humans and wildlife interact with minefields is key to identifying policies that minimise the impact of clearance on nature. Here, MMU's Franciany Braga-Pereira explains what she found using drones to survey animals in Angolan minefields: ceobs.org/do-minefield...

Minefields can reduce human pressure on nature but with states obliged to clear them it's vital that we understand the full picture.
