Russian missiles and drones kill Ukrainians every day — whole families, in their own homes, at night, in cities once considered relatively safe. This is not just war — it is terror aimed at destroying civilians. The world cannot stand aside. Ukraine needs not only sympathy but decisive help. We must repel the aggressor.

Russian aggression has taken the lives of dozens of Ukrainian athletes. Some died under enemy fire, others joined the fight to defend the country and gave their lives on the frontlines. This is not just a loss for sports — it is the destruction of the future that should have shone on the world’s biggest sporting stages.

Russian aggression has caused Ukraine direct economic losses exceeding $700 billion. Lives that cannot be restored are behind every number. Millions have become refugees. Infrastructure has been destroyed, ecology devastated. Russia must be held accountable for its actions. Frozen Russian assets should be used to rebuild Ukraine. Impunity is an invitation to more crimes.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories. They are taken to Russia or Belarus, their documents are being changed, and Russian identity forcibly imposed on them — so they may later fight against Ukraine. These actions are gross violations of international law and conventions on the protection of children. All Ukrainian children must be returned home, and those responsible held accountable.
