We visited a small refugee shelter in eastern Ukraine. Unfortunately, the people there don’t have it as good as those in our shelter, "The Holland House." The staff and volunteers are doing their utmost to make the best of the situation for the refugees living there. The treats we handed out were deeply appreciated! Some of the victims of the war shared their stories with us."

"TENSIONS SKYROCKET! Massive Russian Military Buildup Triggers Alarm Across the Finnish Border!" [6:07 min]

"Jun 18, 2025
Today, there are interesting updates from the nato’s northern flank.
Here, Russia has started rapidly escalating the tensions by building up forces and constructing new bases on the border with Finland. The Scandinavian country has been attacked by Russia before, so the Finnish did not wait and immediately began preparing for the worst-case scenario.
Russia has begun a notable militarization of its extensive border with Finland, significantly escalating its military presence through the construction of new bases and the redeployment of forces. Recent satellite imagery, confirmed by NATO officials, reveals extensive activity, including rows of newly erected tents, warehouses for military vehicles, refurbished fighter jet shelters, and revitalization of a previously abandoned helicopter base. These developments indicate the preliminary stages of a substantial, long-term military buildup, although NATO and Finnish officials emphasize this is still different from Russia’s pre-Ukraine attack deployments in 2022. The reason for this is that Russia remains predominantly occupied with its military operations in Ukraine, limiting immediate troop availability.
The catalyst for Russia's border militarization was Finland’s accession to NATO two years ago. Initially, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly stated that Finland’s NATO membership was Finland’s sovereign right and he had no problem with it. Yet, Russia quickly shifted its posture, rapidly militarizing the border area, which has now become NATO’s longest contiguous boundary with Russia, spanning approximately 1,330 kilometers. Russia’s actions reveal underlying apprehensions; historically, new NATO membership, particularly involving former Soviet states such as the Baltic republics, has been perceived by Moscow as provocative, significantly heightening security concerns. Consequently, the addition of Finland to NATO is interpreted by Russia as an increased threat, necessitating enhanced defenses. Military analyst Michael Kofman of the Carnegie Endowment predict that Russia will significantly expand its ground forces facing NATO, particularly in sensitive regions such as Finland’s northern frontier.
Russia's buildup is also strongly tied to strategic interests in the Arctic. Moscow regards control over Arctic regions as essential for securing its status as a great power. Satellite imagery recently confirmed Russian military helicopters returning to Murmansk, a strategic Arctic port city, after a two-decade absence. This redeployment, partially driven by Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian airfields deeper within the country, places Russian forces considerably closer to NATO territory. According to Finnish defense analysts, Russia is also expanding brigades into divisions, implying an imminent surge in Russian troop strength along the border.
Russia has upgraded several military bases near Finland to enhance its defense capabilities. Key bases include Alakurtti Air Base, which supports cold-weather operations and Arctic defense, and Petrozavodsk, which offers armored vehicle storage and troop mobilization. Severomorsk-2 strengthens Arctic naval and air operations, while Olenya Air Base facilitates strategic bomber activity and large-scale operations, less than 150 kilometers from Finland, with significant infrastructure improvements indicating plans for an even larger military presence. These upgrades provide Russia with rapid deployment capacity and enhanced surveillance, strengthening its position in a potential clash.
These provocative developments follow a series of incidents underscoring rising tensions. From damaging undersea cables to satellite imagery exposing substantial Russian military expansion near Finland, this has prompted Helsinki's military intelligence head, Brigadier General Pekka Turunen, to predict that Russian troop numbers near Finland could triple within five years. Consequently, Finland extended its indefinite border closure with Russia, citing the ongoing hybrid warfare tactics, including weaponized migration, similar to what Poland is experiencing on its border with Belarus. Further intensifying tensions, in May and June 2025, Russia redeployed battle-hardened troops from Ukraine and intelligence specialists to the Finnish border, significantly bolstering strategic bases and violating Finnish airspace, prompting a diplomatic confrontation.
Facing this steadily rising threat, Finland is actively enhancing its defensive posture by../\.. Russia will substantially increase deployments along Finland’s border, prompting predictions of a possible armed confrontation soon...

In just one week, a dedicated team of Ukrainian and American surgeons performed life-changing facial reconstruction surgeries for wounded Ukrainian soldiers suffering from war-related injuries.
This marks the fifth “Face to Face” medical mission since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with nearly 150 patients treated, many of them injured while defending their country.
The “Face to Face” humanitarian mission—organized in partnership with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Razom for Ukraine, and the medical platform INgenius—continues to provide transformative procedures for Ukrainian soldiers."

Around 5 a.m., on June 17, a Russian drone slammed into one of the high-rise apartment buildings in Darnytskyi district in Kyiv. The strike left several people wounded, destroying an outer wall and rooms in several apartments and shattering windows throughout the neighborhood.
Kyiv Independent reporters went to the site of the attack to talk to residents, as the neighborhood was кecovering after the attack.
Around a dozen kids from nearby houses were sweeping up glass and litter off the sidewalk in front of the building, having procured brooms and scoops from the neighbors.
When asked by the Kyiv Independent's reporters why the children were cleaning up, one of the boys in the group responded: "Because it must be done."

"Kazakhstan PULLS THE PLUG On Russia’s War Machine! RFU News"
by RFU News — Reporting from Ukraine

youtube.com/watch?v=ExrQXHVSpr

Quote by RFUN:
"Jun 16, 2025
Today, there are interesting updates from the Russian Federation.

Here, the increasing number of warnings, which have evolved into outright open threats from Russia, has pushed the Kazakhstan government to take decisive steps towards establishing an alliance with Western countries. From changing key trade partners to seeking new military alliances, Kazakhstan seems determined to ensure its stability in the case of any Russian escalation.
Kazakhstan, long considered a critical strategic partner by Russia, is increasingly distancing itself from Moscow's orbit, underscoring a wider fracturing of Russian alliances in Central Asia. Russia’s interests in Kazakhstan run deep, with military bases such as the famed Baikonur Cosmodrome, a crucial facility for space launches. Kazakhstan's geographic proximity to vital Russian military installations and its abundant natural resources, including energy and minerals, have traditionally made it strategically significant to Moscow. Additionally, the considerable ethnic Russian population of approximately 20%, mostly concentrated near the Kazakh-Russian border, has periodically been leveraged by Russia as justification for exerting more influence or issuing veiled threats to maintain Kazakhstan’s pro-Russian alignment. Russia used the same rhetoric to justify its war in Ukraine, which is causing considerable concern for the Kazakh government. President Vladimir Putin made comments about Kazakhstan's territorial integrity, suggesting that regional borders were a product of Soviet-era decisions and mentioning that Kazakhstan's current territorial makeup was not as historically valid as it might seem.
The recent dismissal of Kazakhstan's pro-Russian defense minister, Ruslan Zhaksylykov, exemplifies a transition. Known for his overtly pro-Russian stance, he faced domestic criticism due to various scandals, including alleged corruption linked to military procurement, and controversial remarks during meetings with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, when he declared the Russians for a brother people, similar to Russian narratives on Ukraine. His replacement by Dauren Kosanov, former Commander of the Air Defense Forces, signals a significant policy change. President Tokayev’s swift administrative moves underscore an accelerated shift toward adopting Western military standards, demonstrated further by the country's increasingly frequent joint exercises with NATO nations such as Turkey and recent agreements with the United Kingdom.
Growing military cooperation between Kazakhstan and Western nations underscores Russia's diminishing influence. The signing of a defense cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom marks a significant step. This agreement emphasizes peacekeeping training, English language education, and the enrollment of Kazakh officers in British military universities. Although officially presented as "soft power" initiatives, historically, such educational and training programs have been Britain's strategy for cultivating enduring influence abroad. Kazakhstan is also already participating in NATO-standard ammunition production projects, further illustrating its shift in defense orientation.
Historically, Kazakhstan, alongside Uzbekistan, has provided substantial amounts ../\..essential in maintaining Russia’s military-industrial capacity. However, recent indicators suggest Kazakhstan might redirect key military production exports towards NATO countries instead of Russia. Such a move would represent a serious blow to Russia's ability to sustain its prolonged military campaign in Ukraine, reflecting Kazakhstan’s intent to prioritize improved relations with the West over its traditional alignment with Moscow. Russian analysts and political circles have predictably expressed outrage, calling the steady reorientation to the West an act of betrayal and an erosion of Russia's traditionally dominant position in Central Asian security affairs.
Additionally, Kazakhstan is gradually enhancing economic and diplomatic relations with the European Union. Discussions about easing visa controls are progressing slowly but further symbolize Kazakhstan's shifting alignment. Although complete visa-free travel remains distant, this dialogue signals a strategic pivot toward the European Union. Moreover, Kazakhstan is actively exploring alternative export routes, such as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which significantly reduces its dependence on Russia for energy exports and could provide access to the European energy market via Turkey. This move not only diversifies Kazakhstan’s economic ties but also undermines Russian influence in Central Asia's energy market, historically...

The Kyiv Independent visited a POW camp in the west of Ukraine to speak with Russian prisoners of war about their service, captivity, and political views. One of them was drafted from an eastern Ukrainian city occupied by Russia since 2014. Two others, from occupied Crimea and far eastern Russia, joined the war voluntarily. Now, they are waiting to be exchanged."
