The Russian war is still raging in their country, and yet a number of Ukrainian refugee women are leaving Germany to return home to husbands and family.
To blackmail the West, Russian President Vladimir Putin is blocking the export of millions of tons of corn and wheat from Ukraine. By doing so, he is triggering famine in Africa and Asia – while at the same time seeking to pose as their savior.
The cafés are open, restaurants are booked up and the squares are full of people. After months of fear, residents of Kyiv are slowly resuming their old lives. But it s harder than it may seem. A walk through the traumatized Ukrainian capital.
As the Russian army s advance came to a halt north of Kyiv, the occupiers apparently began indiscriminately murdering civilians: people riding their bikes or walking their dogs. Impressions from a city filled with destruction and death.
The horrific crimes committed by Russian soldiers in Vladimir Putin’s war of extermination shows that a return to the old status quo will not be possible with this Russia. Germany should be doing everything in its power to back Ukraine.
