In this episode, we will cover one of the most severe aspects of the war - violence against children and women. Firstly, we will dive deep into the mass deportation and abduction of Ukrainian children. Then, we will move to the sexual violence against women as a strategy and culture of the russian army.

We want to acknowledge that this week's topic has been particularly challenging to research and discuss. We feel it is crucial to provide a warning that the content you are about to hear may be disturbing and sensitive in nature. We approach these difficult subjects with the utmost care and respect for the survivors and victims affected by these acts of violence by russians.

We will also provide you with an update from the frontlines, highlight the main events in Ukraine during the week of May 24-31, and share with you an event from Ukrainian history.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to keeping you informed, we will provide weekly news updates from Ukraine, covering a range of topics, including politics, economy, culture, and more. We understand the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest developments, and our goal is to bring you accurate and reliable information directly from the source.

In addition to news updates, we will provide you with firsthand accounts and updates from the frontlines. By connecting with individuals on the ground, including eyewitnesses and experts, we aim to bring you closer to the realities of the ongoing situation in Ukraine, offering a unique perspective and insight into the challenges and triumphs experienced by those directly involved.

Together, let's seek the truth, foster understanding, and strive for a better future.
