I wrote for ⁦ @guardian ⁩ about the villages I have spent two years working to repair, and the hell that has once again been unleashed upon them with the tacit approval of the western states which refuse to allow Ukraine to properly defend itself.

The villages near Kharkiv were recovering. Fleeing again, their people feel betrayed by the west –...

The homes and lives my charity has been helping rebuild are on the frontline once more, says Ada Wordsworth, founder of the KHARPP charity

It’s worrying to see the prime minister cheerleading for war. Will Ukraine turn into Starmer’s...

On Friday I will be flying to the Polish/Ukrainian border to volunteer. Anyone with any contacts already on the ground out there, please DM me. I will be in Przemysl until Tuesday at least, but from then I am open to travelling wherever I am needed. I speak Russian and English.
