Rescuers pulled the bodies of three children from the ruins of an apartment building in Kryvyi Rih, struck by a Russian missile on November 11. The children—all from the same family—lost their lives alongside their mother, bringing the tragic death toll to four.
First responders located the body of the mother, Olena, under the debris on Monday. The grim discovery came later into the night, when they uncovered the bodies of her two sons, 10-year-old Kyrylo and 2-year-old Demyd. By morning, they found the youngest victim, 2-month-old Ulyana.
Olena’s husband is the only member of the family survived the devastating attack.
On November 11, Russian forces struck a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, causing injuries and, tragically, several deaths. Rescuers continue to clear the debris, as others may still remain trapped.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
In recent days, Moscow’s official rhetoric has been dominated by hysteria over the decision of…
In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
