Rest in Peace

18-year-old swimmer Nikita Zasiadko from Kharkiv gave his life for the freedom and independence of our country.

The boy devoted most of his life to sports. At the age of 15, he was awarded the title of Master of Sports of Ukraine in swimming, and at 17 — a candidate for Master of Sports in freestyle wrestling.

In 2022, Nikita graduated from the Kharkiv Professional College of Sports and entered the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture to study two specialities at once: "Rehabilitation therapist" and "recreation".

Despite the danger, he stayed in his hometown, continued to study and volunteer.

As soon as he turned 18, he took a gap year and voluntarily joined the legendary Azov Brigade. He became a senior machine gunner with the call sign "Proud".

By the Decree of the President of Ukraine, Nikita Zasyadko was awarded the Order "For Courage", III degree (posthumously).

May he rest in peace...

After 9 months they admit they have her

The russian Ministry of "Defense" (human rights abuse) admitted that Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchina, who disappeared in August, is detained in the Russian Federation

The official response that her father received from the department states that Roshchina “has been detained and is on the territory of the Russian Federation,” reports the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine.

Roshchina stopped communicating in August 2023 while preparing a report on the occupied territories of Ukraine. Before this, the Russian military had already detained her in Berdyansk, where they held her for 10 days. After she was released, she said that she had no complaints against the Russian special services.

Roshchina has been writing about the war in Ukraine since the early days of the Russian invasion in February 2022, publishing her materials in Ukrainska Pravda, Hromadske and Radio Liberty. In 2022, the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) awarded her the Courage in Journalism Award.

Macron, with a map in his hands, states that Ukraine should have the right to strike at military bases on the territory of the Russian Federation, from which missiles are launched

"They have the right to neutralize military sites from which missiles are launched and other military facilities from which Ukraine is attacked. But we must not allow Ukraine to hit other targets in Russia, civilian targets, of course, or other military targets," said the French president during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

It is an attack. They should respond with artillery

North Korea has adopted a new strategy to contend with its southern neighbor: sending floating bags of trash containing “filth” across the border, carried by massive balloons, CNN reported.

The South Korean military began noticing “large amounts of balloons” arriving from the North starting Tuesday night, detecting more than 150 as of Wednesday morning, according to the country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

Local governments sent messages to residents in the northern provinces to warn of the “unidentified objects,” and advised against outdoor activities. The packages risk damaging residential areas, airports, and highways.

As of now, only four countries that have officially joined the Czech initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine have made monetary contributions, according to Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová.

Radio Prague International reports that Lithuania recently joined the Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine, committing 35 million euros.

Černochová made this statement after the meeting of EU defense ministers in Brussels, where she and her Lithuanian colleague Laurynas Kasčiūnas signed the relevant memorandum.

In total, 18 countries have joined the initiative, but only four—Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Portugal—have allocated funds for the purchase of ammunition.

The first batch is expected to be delivered to Ukraine at the beginning of June. Černochová emphasized that Lithuania's contribution of 35 million euros is significant.

"This is further proof that the interest in supporting Ukraine in our region remains very strong," she added.

Ukraine condemned North Korea's attempt to launch a space reconnaissance satellite.

"Ukraine is deeply concerned about another attempt by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to launch a launch vehicle with a reconnaissance satellite on board. We strongly condemn Pyongyang's repeated violations of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Such actions, as well as the provision of military assistance by the North Korean regime to Russia in the war against Ukraine, significantly deteriorate the security situation in the region and the world. Ukraine calls for increased pressure from the international community on Pyongyang to comply with international law and ensure stability and security on the Korean Peninsula," stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
