This year, Russia has already recruited 16,000 foreigners to use as fodder for its war against Ukraine. While some are willing mercenaries, Russia relies on exploiting people in dire need and deceiving them into fighting and dying in a war they never intended to join.

“Twenty of my fellow countrymen were killed in drone strikes right before my eyes,” said Razan, a Bangladeshi national who went to Russia for work and ended up fighting in Ukraine. @DaudKhattak1

Russia is attempting to destroy Ukrainian culture and society, but Ukraine's universities, schools, and students are adapting and evolving to meet the challenge.

Join us to discuss Ukraine’s hard-won experience and lessons in the role of education as the foundation of freedom.⤵️

Despite sustained international pressure on Russia to release illegally detained OSCE staff, Russia has transferred Vadym Golda to a prison in Russia, further isolating him and threatening his health and life.

We are gravely alarmed by information regarding the possible transfer to Siberia of Vadym Golda, one of three OSCE staff members illegally detained by Russia. He has been held incommunicado since October 15.

This is yet another blatant disregard by Russia of its obligations under the Geneva Conventions. Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories are deprived of their most basic rights and remain entirely at the mercy of the occupying power.

We demand that Russia provide credible and verifiable information on the whereabouts and conditions of all three illegally detained OSCE staff members and ensure immediate and unrestricted access to them.

We call on the OSCE community to intensify pressure on Russia to secure the immediate release of Dmytro Shabanov, Maksym Petrov and Vadym Golda.
