"But when they’re buzzing, the cows go into the bushes and I can’t drag them out. And where would make them go? They’re what I live for. If it weren’t for them, I’d probably be dead and in the pine box by now. Whether I'm in paid or not, they need feeding. They understand everything. Once I was driving them along, I tripped, fell and was lying on the road. And a cow saw I wasn’t following her, came back and started nudging me. Thank God some soldiers were driving by. They saw me and thought maybe the old woman had kicked the bucket. But I came to, and we went home,” she adds.

The two neighbors, both named Olha, live in Sumy region near the border with Russia, and their village has been heavily damaged by Russian attacks. Both have lost their homes and been wounded, but they refuse to evacuate.

Russia is ramping up weapons production and continues to use Western technology. Are sanctions keeping pace with Russia’s ability to adapt and produce weapons?

NAKO Executive Director Olena Tregub opened a discussion on sanctions against Russia at the Warsaw Security Forum 2026 with this question.

Russia is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. Yet it continues to obtain Western technology and use it to build deadly weapons. “This is not a technical matter. It is a matter of national survival for Ukraine and security for all of Europe,” says Olena.

Europe and the United States need to rethink their approach to sanctions. This means not only introducing new restrictions, but also improving export controls and enforcement of existing sanctions.

NAKO is a program partner of the Warsaw Security Forum 2026, one of the key international platforms for discussions on security, defence, sanctions policy, and support for Ukraine. The forum brings together government officials, representatives of international institutions, civil society, and experts from more than 90 countries.

Working on video calls, parenting, and going about daily routines — all while explosions echo in the background.

As Russia intensifies its aerial strikes on Kyiv, residents carry on with essential life tasks while living under constant threat and fear.

Somebody in my California town, an hour north of San Francisco, put up this billboard a few months ago on a major freeway. I went by it today where it continues to shine and a reminder of what's happening to Ukraine. We donate when we can, which is a lot more than our shit show of a president has given.

In three weeks, Tuesday, November 3, we will be voting to take power away from the clown show.

Slava Ukraini!
