And here’s what Ukrainians think about it, as seen in this video. The owner of an apartment destroyed by a Russian drone hangs a Ukrainian flag on his balcony.

You won’t break us.

I wonder if there will be any condemnation of Russian war crimes from American officials who are convinced that Russia seeks peace and that they will sign an agreement with Putin almost any day now?

Homes were destroyed, architectural landmarks were damaged, and a man and his daughter - who had come to the maternity hospital to congratulate the mother on the birth of her newborn—were killed. These are all civilian targets that must not be fired upon, even during wartime.

Yesterday, Russia launched 948 drones against civilians in various cities across Ukraine. They attacked a maternity hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk, private homes in Kherson, the central park in Vinnytsia, a train in the Kharkiv region, and the historic center of Lviv, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I fear that by the time we finish talking, some of these children will already have become adults. Former children with erased identities, trained to shoot and raised by the Russians to hate, will go to kill and die in any country where Russia tells them to go, to kill and die.

I got up at 3 am. I’ll be on the road all day today. Tomorrow in Luxembourg, we’ll be discussing the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children and what Europe’s response should be. Childhood has an expiry date.

The Russians have burned our fields and forests, and poisoned the soil, rivers and air. As long as the war continues, it poses a threat to all living things. Luna’s reaction to my appearance on screen is very touching.

I saw the trailer for a documentary about the impact of Russian aggression on the environment for the first time. And these images are striking. Because war is always about violence against nature.

She spoke gratefully of how many caring people had joined the fight against the cold. Some donated fuel, others generators. And finally, she took me to the garden with the azaleas. She says they’re blooming particularly beautifully this year, as if they were victors.

So, yesterday at the opening of a photo exhibition on ecocide, which is being held in a room next to the greenhouse, I finally met its director. They did manage to save everything after all.

I came back deeply moved and wrote that I hoped these plants would survive the winter. And someone commented under that post: ‘I hope we all survive it.’

At the time, there were barrels of burning fuel right inside the greenhouse. And the staff were doing everything in their power, day and night, to keep the 50-year-old philodendrons, rare orchids, citrus trees, palms, bromeliads and cacti warm.

The photographer and I had gone there to document the impact of Russian attacks on the power grid on the tropical plants.

If you’re looking for some good news, I’ve got some. Just two months ago, I was at the Hryshko Botanical Garden in Kyiv.

That is precisely why Moscow pushed so hard for it in negotiations with the Americans. Unfortunately, this decision only encourages Putin to continue this bloody war.

From now on, foreign countries are allowed to buy Russian oil that was loaded onto tankers before March 12 and is currently at sea. They promise this is temporary, but even if that is the case, this decision will undoubtedly provide new resources to fund Putin’s war machine.

This is an unprecedented move by the US presidential administration. For the first time in five years of full-scale invasion, America has lifted sanctions against Russian oil.

Women’s rights are under pressure worldwide.

That is why we come together on 8 March – International Women’s Day during Women Unite! in Amsterdam.

I will be taking part as a speaker, at this international conference organised by the City of Amsterdam and Royal Theatre Carré.

And yes, we have a lot to learn from environmental activists in this beautiful country. So I really hope that I will have the opportunity to return again and again.

I really hope that the Kenyan government will conduct proper investigations and stop this human trafficking. After all, every government must protect its citizens.

The Russians use Kenyans as cannon fodder to hide Russian soldiers behind them. Their families in Kenya cannot get the bodies of the dead or the promised money.

Journalists asked me a lot about the criminal schemes that Russia has implemented in this country to deceive Kenyans into recruiting for the war. People are promised legal work, and then, without any training, they are forcibly sent to the front.

That is why these human stories resonate so strongly with Kenyan society. Unfortunately, little is known about them here. So Ukrainians in Kenya are making great efforts to change that.

Putin is trying to convince the world that a great power has the right to invade a neighboring country, kill people there, destroy their identity, kidnap their children, and use terror to re-educate Ukrainians into Russians. This state of affairs is dangerous for everyone, without exception.

I had several public appearances, interesting meetings, and interviews. I talked about the human dimension of this bloody war unleashed by Russia.

Unfortunately, attempts to build expensive cottages on such a coveted piece of land have not stopped, so publicity is still needed to save Karuru Forest.

And in the end, she achieved her goal, and the forest was returned to the community.
