Kharkiv, the story from the heart of the war: "Flattened by bombs without food and medicine"
Kharkiv is under renewed Russian attack, with significant bombings forcing evacuations in the region, particularly from Vovchansk.

Russia Experiencing a New ‘Afghan Syndrome’ With Soldiers Returning From Ukraine
Russian soldiers returning from the war in Ukraine are exhibiting a new form of 'Afghan syndrome,' with reports of high crime rates and difficulties reintegrating into civilian life. The phenomenon is reminiscent of the post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by veterans of the Afghan war, but with the added complexity of many current veterans having pre-existing criminal backgrounds. The Russian government's response has been to attempt to reintegrate these soldiers and to offer significant compensation to the families of fallen servicemen, but this has not prevented the spread of violence. The situation raises concerns about the stability and future of Russian society, as well as the moral implications of the Kremlin's approach to the returning veterans.

Polar clean ups: Fighting pollution in the Russian Arctic
The Russian Arctic is facing significant pollution challenges with up to four million tons of waste and 12 million iron barrels littering its coastal zones. Major clean-up operations by the Russian army and government-supported initiatives have been underway, including the removal of over 16,000 tons of scrap metal. WWF Russia's Arctic Biodiversity Conservation project coordinator Varvara Semenova has observed extensive trash, including old barrels and derelict buildings, which pose a threat to local flora and fauna. Microplastics are increasingly found in marine life, affecting the Arctic food chain. Human-wildlife conflicts are also rising, with polar bears entering human settlements. Clean-up efforts have been bolstered by federal significance upgrades for more Arctic regions, and volunteer programs like Green Arctic have contributed significantly, with volunteers from various countries participating in environmental expeditions to restore ecological balance.
