For the first time since the full-scale invasion, Kyiv today hosted an Equality March with over 500 participants from the LGBTQ+ community. Despite ongoing challenges, including heightened security measures, the event marked an important moment of solidarity and resilience. Alongside our fight for national survival, we continue to stand up for equality and the rights that define us as a modern European state.
Released from Russian captivity, a policewoman from Mariupol endured sexual violence for two years, according to ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.
The 24-year-old policewoman was freed during the latest exchange after spending over two years in Russian captivity. Under international humanitarian law, she is not considered a prisoner of war as a police officer, but Russians treated her as such.
"She told my representatives that throughout these two years, she was subjected to sexual torture by Russian soldiers. The entire period."

A queer performer, actor, and artist, Arthur Snitkus was killed while performing a combat mission🕯️
Arthur, who already had experience serving in the army, joined the defense of Ukraine after the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022.
In May 2022, he became part of the SESTRO album compilation by the Odesa label 'system | system' — the release was issued in support of the Kharkiv organization 'Sfera', which helps women and LGBTQ+ individuals from eastern Ukraine.
The AN-26-100 plane might have crashed after the landing gear touched the airport fence.
According to first reports, it was a human error. Due to heavy fog and poor visibility, the pilots of the UTair aircraft, which had 36 passengers on board, lowered the landing gear earlier than necessary, so that the plane hit the fence and crashed down. This version has not yet been officially confirmed.
Pilot Igor Ch. and co-pilot Alexey R. received injuries of different severity. One of the passengers was also injured.
The airport is currently not accepting flights.
Seems strange to me, either their airport fences are exceptionally high or their final descent exceptionally low... but okay, I never experienced a landing approach in ruZZia. Thank dog.

There are Russian journalists at the Peace Summit in Switzerland, Radio Liberty reports
In particular, RIA Novosti, TASS, Kommersant, Meduza and Dozhd are present.
🇨🇭Admitting the Russian media to the Summit was the position of Switzerland, the host neutral party.
I think It's the right thing to have them
Meaningful meeting with US Vice President Kamala Harris at the Peace Summit in Switzerland. Thank you for participating in the summit.
We discussed the receipt of weapons from the defense packages announced by the United States, the implementation of our agreements reached with President Biden in Italy on additional Patriot air defense systems, and the situation at the front.
Thank you for your very important assistance – the allocation of more than 1 1.5 billion for the needs of our state.

Rostyslav was a candidate for master of sports in sabre fencing, a participant in national competitions, a winner and multiple prize-winner of the Lviv region championships.
With the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, Rostyslav defended Ukraine in the ranks of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade "Edelweiss" of the operational command "West" of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and later — in the 78th separate airborne assault regiment "Hertz" of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He died on 6 June...
Blessed memory and eternal glory to the Hero!

Svitlana Vlasenko lived on the fifth floor of a building on Lyubov Maloi Street in Kharkiv. It was destroyed by Russian shelling on the night of May 31, 2024. Svetlana's daughter, 39-year-old Polina Kravets, died nearby.
The body of Svitlana Vlasenko was found first thing in the morning. She was thrown into the yard by an explosive wave. Her daughter too - she flew several tens of meters and hit the wall of a neighboring house. It was possible to identify her thanks to a DNA test.
The deceased Svitlana Vlasenko was 69 years old. Positive, responsive, sociable - that's what her friends and neighbors say about her.
A former deputy chairman of the russian government lost 13 million rubles because he wanted to edit a Wikipedia article about himself.
At the very beginning of the 90s, Viktor Ilyushin headed the secretariat of the President of the RSFSR, and in 1996-1997 he served as deputy chairman of the government. On June 7, Ilyushin received a call from scammers. They introduced themselves as Wikipedia administrators and persuaded the former official to install a program that would supposedly help correct information on Wiki.
The clever one provided them in this way with the necessary access to his bank account. In just a few days -surprise, surprise- Viktor Vasilyevich lost 12.9 million rubles. A criminal case has been opened for theft on an especially large scale.
