Olena Tregub has spent years inside the fight against corruption in Ukraine's defence sector. She founded NAKO, the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission, and has been pushing for accountability in defence procurement ever since. And in 2023 testified before the US Senate's Helsinki Commission on how Russia evades sanctions and launders money.
The thread is live early so you can get your questions in ahead of time. Olena will start answering on September 16 at 12:00 PM (noon) Kyiv time:
- Tokyo: 6:00 PM (same day)
- London: 10:00 AM (same day)
- NYC (New York City): 5:00 AM (same day)
Ask her how Ukraine fights corruption from the inside, what NAKO's due diligence work actually catches, or how sanctions enforcement against Russia could be tightened.

On Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. Kyiv time (5 p.m. London, noon ET, 9 a.m. Portland, 1 a.m. Friday in Tokyo, 3 a.m. Friday in Sydney), Frontliner photojournalist Marharyta Fal will join r/Ukraine for an AMA. Post your questions here ahead of time or join us live.
“When I cover the war, I’m just trying to cope with reality and be useful. It’s my way of recording a shared experience -- for those who have already seen the wreckage of their own homes, and for those who still see the world only through a screen.”
Marharyta has reported on Russia’s blockade of occupied Oleshky and on aerial bomb attacks on Kramatorsk. She has also reported from Kostiantynivka, and walked into Druzhkivka and Dobropillia alongside Ukrainian troops.
- A fresh grave behind the house: Line of contact nears Dobropillia, city isolated
- Next after Kostiantynivka: Industrial Druzhkivka is no longer the rear
- Armor shortages, blocked routes, and conscription risks – the challenges of evacuation under fire (Kostiantynivka)
- Ten minutes to rescue from the rubble: Russians attack residential buildings in Kramatorsk with aerial bombs
- ‘No one knows whose skull this is’: Russia’s blockade starves occupied Oleshky (warning: graphic content)

AMA [AMA] Refugees in Europe/France : What to do, how to help, and how it works.

Hi everyone,
With everything that's been going on these days, even though Ukraine is fighting, a lot of Ukrainians are leaving and Europe is working out how to help them.
I've been working for a few years in French immigration and asylum services, looking after similar people, and working with European colleagues. Because I've fielded a lot of questions on the subject over the past few weeks, I figured an AMA could be interesting.
This is a double AMA. This thread, in English, will be dedicated to people who have left Ukraine looking to figure what to do for themselves, and people who are outside of Ukraine right now interested in helping refugees.
There's a second thread on /r/france over there, in French mostly but questions in English are welcome, where I'll be talking about the subject from a more general perspective.
Understand that while I do have an understanding of general European doctrines and processes on the subject, I am most knowledgeable on France, as I've spent most of my career there. Still, I'll answer all questions to the best of my abilities.
With that in mind, AMA !
