• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

68-year-old Crimean Halyna Dovhopola imprisoned in Russia for 12 years on ‘treason’ charges for supporting Ukraine

The charges against Halyna Dovhopola remain as secret as the ‘court hearings’ behind closed doors, without an independent lawyer, but she was almost certainly targeted because of her pro-Ukrainian views

After two weeks of living in a basement, they drove to the station through deserted Kharkiv to evacuate to Lviv.

Moscow claims it invaded 'in self-defence’ at UN Court heaing into Ukraine’s first Genocide Case against Russia

• Voices of war   • Interview

‘I’m not used to having four coffins with soldiers in the temple’, — priest Viktor Marynchak
