The article discusses the ongoing war in Ukraine, noting that its impact is deeply felt even by those who feel distant from it. Amnesty International continues to document human rights abuses and war crimes despite global attention shifting due to increased militarization elsewhere. The representative for Amnesty International in Ukraine details their work, which involves on-the-ground investigation, rigorous verification of evidence (such as missile strikes), and documenting the experiences of victims while adhering to strict protocols.

Key issues highlighted include the terrifying use of drones, which are linked to artificial intelligence in warfare, and the difficulty of attributing crimes committed by drone attacks. The text also addresses the systematic nature of the atrocities, suggesting a form of genocide is occurring. Life under threat remains surreal, with Russia attempting to degrade civilian life through attacks on energy infrastructure during winter.

In terms of casualties, Amnesty International has documented thousands of civilian deaths and injuries since 2022, noting significant increases due to ballistic missile strikes hitting residential buildings. While documentation provides evidence of systematic crimes against humanity, the path to effective judicial justice is slow, requiring proof of a pattern rather than just individual stories.

The article touches on the treatment of prisoners of war, revealing that nearly all returning Ukrainian POWs have been tortured. Furthermore, it notes the complex limbo faced by captured Russian soldiers who are not easily repatriated. Finally, the piece analyzes how other global conflicts affect Ukraine’s defense capabilities and suggests that while immediate negotiation seems unlikely in the near future, Ukraine’s resistance is increasing its international profile, transforming it from a mere object to an active subject in world politics.

MOST is co-funded by the European Union.

The MOST – Media Organisations for Stronger Transnational Journalism – project aims to drive innovation within the foreign reporting sector and strengthen the resilience of non-profit and independent media in their coverage of European issues. By bringing together six specialised non-profit media outlets and one human rights-focused organisation, the project will establish a collaborative platform for the exchange of knowledge, resources, and content among the participating partners and other media outlets focused on foreign reporting or European topics.

Building on a decades-long commitment to specialised and non-profit reporting, the initiative seeks to enhance the visibility of Southeast and Eastern Europe within the European public sphere, while reinforcing journalistic practices to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Coordinated by OBCT, the hub will promote the exchange of best practices in creative business models, news production, and distribution processes. Additionally, the project will explore the potential of AI and collaboration, encouraging peer-to-peer learning among partners and engaging with the wider community of specialised digital non-profit media.
