Last year alone, the Kremlin rejected multiple peace proposals, including a Christmas truce. In May this year, it openly threatened to murder foreign diplomats in Kyiv, while Russian drones and missiles continue raining down on Ukrainian cities night after night and killing civilians in their homes.

19034

Ukrainian children unlawfully taken from occupied Ukraine. Forcibly transferred to Russia. Separated from their country and identity. ‘Rescue’ is the Kremlin’s word. War crime is the legal category.

611862

At Valdai, Putin warned Europe about the dangers of ‘escalation’. On the same day, Russian drones struck a school in Kyiv and hit a major bridge while civilian traffic was moving across it. The source of the escalation is not particularly difficult to locate.

27123

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, an estimated 20,500 Ukrainian children have been deported or forcibly transferred to Russia, prompting the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova.

0204

Russia continues to falsely accuse Ukraine and Western countries of crimes against children, without presenting any evidence, in an attempt to divert attention from its own documented war crimes.

25918

Yabloko was the only political party to openly oppose Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The measures target those responsible for turning Russia’s judicial system against democratic opposition.

0174

Russia’s repression of political opposition does not end at the ballot box. The EU’s latest human rights sanctions also cover judges and prosecutors involved in proceedings against prominent Yabloko figures, including Lev Shlosberg.

14011

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

The purpose and effect of Russia’s sustained attacks is felt by civilians every day – on their streets, in their homes and on their way through the city.

0235

Two Russian drones struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge while civilian traffic was moving across it. A major piece of civilian transport infrastructure became the target of another Russian attack.

The discarded Novichok later killed British citizen Dawn Sturgess.

Russia likes to state that it has fulfilled its international obligations by declaring and destroying all of its chemical weapons. But in 2018, Russian Military Intelligence brought a novel, undeclared nerve agent to Britain and used it in an attempt to assassinate Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

59840

Whatever military ‘justification’ Moscow offers, these are deliberate barbaric attacks on civilians.

0244

More than 20 people were injured when a Russian guided bomb hit an apartment building in Kharkiv. Children were among them. At the same time, Russia continues launching hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine on a daily basis.

14412

Russia threatens NATO countries. NATO countries strengthen their defences. Russia points to those defences and says: ‘See? NATO is threatening us’. A remarkably efficient way to turn the consequences of your own behaviour into evidence for your narrative.

812840

This morning, Russia used a drone to strike a school in Kyiv while children were inside. This is what the Kremlin considers a ‘legitimate military target’.

36536

Yabloko was the only political party to openly oppose Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The listings address the repression of democratic opposition and actions seriously undermining democracy and the rule of law in Russia.

0164

The EU has listed 10 individuals over the barring of Yabloko from Russia’s September 2026 State Duma elections. The measures cover three Supreme Court judges, an official from the Prosecutor General’s Office, and judges and prosecutors involved in proceedings against prominent Yabloko leaders.

1348

Moscow calls China a partner ‘without limits’. Yet Beijing still negotiates hard over the price of Russian gas, with Moscow increasingly dependent on access to the Chinese market. Some limits are easier to spot at the negotiating table.

45817

The programmes were coordinated with Russia and promoted pro-Kremlin narratives. From occupied Ukraine to a state-run camp in North Korea. The geography alone shows how far this system extends.

1297

Russia’s system for the unlawful deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children has now reached North Korea. The EU has sanctioned the state-run Songdowon International Children’s Camp for participating in programmes involving Ukrainian children transferred from occupied territories.

Kremlin-affiliated outlets continue framing EU member states as warmongers unwilling to end the war. In reality, Russia rejected seven peace proposals last year alone, while Europe’s increased defence spending is a response to the growing Russian threat.

49139

Hospitals, universities, residential buildings. All unsafe. This is the reality Ukrainians live with every day.

0224

Russia hit a scientific institution and a medical centre in Kyiv on the same day. People were killed at the National Academy of Sciences. Medical workers were injured at Dobrobut. Both buildings were left burning.

0215

0456

The EU has now sanctioned another 10 individuals and 17 entities connected to that system.

1296

Russia’s illegal deportation of Ukrainian children relies on an entire chain of institutions. Officials organise. Camps accommodate. Schools and programmes re-educate. State-linked bodies help normalise the process.

510154

There is no euphemism that changes this reality: civilians are being subjected to repeated Russian attacks in the places where they live and work.

0232

A Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. The building caught fire while people were still trapped inside, waiting for emergency crews to reach them.

34616

His decisions contributed to the repression of democratic opposition and undermined the rule of law in Russia. Repression is a system. But systems still have names.

Meet Vyacheslav Kirillov, a Russian Supreme Court judge – and one of the latest names on the EU sanctions list. Kirillov delivered the ruling that barred Yabloko’s federal list from Russia’s parliamentary elections.

Bucha was documented by survivors, journalists, investigators and satellite imagery. Years later, the Kremlin is still trying to make the evidence disappear through repetition. Denial does not erase the record.

39551

The Kremlin’s election narratives often come down to one idea: if democracy is fake everywhere, Moscow has nothing to explain regarding its own elections. In reality, democracy is not a mythical concept. And Moscow has a lot of explaining to do.

37317

Russia continues to deny the UN and other humanitarian groups safe access to occupied Oleshky. Thousands of civilians, including children, are facing shortages of food and medicine, with limited medical care, running water and electricity under Russian occupation.

39748

Sanctions are allegedly ‘ineffective’, according to Putin. Russia has merely lost major European markets, built a shadow fleet to evade restrictions and become more dependent on a much larger Chinese economy. Quite a lot of adaptation for something that supposedly has no effect.

48220

On 10 February 2022, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia had ‘no plans to invade Ukraine’. Five days later, he dismissed reports of an imminent invasion as ‘Western hysteria’ and claimed Russian troops were already returning to their bases. Nine days later, Russia invaded Ukraine.

712660

277 Russian attack drones in a single day. In Kyiv alone, two kindergartens, two schools, residential buildings, warehouses, markets, and communications infrastructure were damaged. Moscow continues its terror against civilian life in Ukraine.
