38 m. ago ‘Russia is targeting us deliberately’: how attacks on maternity hospitals fuelled a birth crisis in Ukraine

Women have been left fearful of childbirth after more than 80 attacks on maternity units since the invasion, leading to the world’s lowest birth rate and the highest mortality rateIt was one of the most horrifying targets of Russia’s war on Ukraine so far. Reports showed a pregnant woman on a stretcher, her face ashen with shock, legs smeared with blood and a hand holding her bump. Behind her, the bombed-out ruins of Mariupol’s maternity hospital. More than a dozen people, including women in labour, were injured in the attack in March 2022. The woman photographed, Iryna Kalinina, later died along with her unborn baby.In the three years since then, maternity care in Ukraine has remained under constant attack, with more than 2,000 strikes on medical facilities, including 81 affecting maternal care and delivery rooms. Just last month, Diana Koshyk, seven months pregnant, was killed when a missile struck a maternity hospital in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region. Continue reading...

98 m. ago Trump needs to understand what the war in Ukraine is really about | Kenneth Roth

It’s not about Nato or the Soviet Union. It’s about democracyIt may be difficult for a real-estate mogul like Donald Trump to recognize, but Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is not about slices of war-torn land in eastern Ukraine. It is about Ukraine’s democracy. Putin fears that the Russian people will see that democracy as an enticing alternative to his stultifying autocratic rule. Trump is unlikely to secure a peace deal unless he acts on that reality and changes the cost-benefit analysis behind Putin’s continuing war.Much of the public analysis of the Alaska summit between Trump and Putin, and the Washington collection of European leaders protecting the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, from the temperamental Trump, has been replete with red-herring issues. For example, Putin did not invade Ukraine because of feared Nato expansion.

98 m. ago My husband is a lamp guy. But I will defend the Big Light for ever | Coco Khan

Let me be the lone voice of reason: I do not want to turn on five lamps to achieve the amount of light the Big Light deliversIf there is one thing I have learned from a life lived on the internet, it is that being sent into a spiral of existential dread can come from the unlikeliest of places. And what could be more unlikely than wondering about the dire prospects of humankind through the prism of the Big Light? That’s right, the lightbulb in the middle of the ceiling, the main light, the one operated from the wall switch that you instinctively feel around for when you enter a room. If TikTok is to be believed, people around the world are saying “Down with the Big Light”, with videos that urge viewers never to use it and claim turning it on is a dating red flag garnering millions of views – all of which has left me wondering: truly, is nothing sacred?I confess that defending the Big Light has long been a personal mission. My husband is a lamp guy. He values “mood”, whereas if I am u...
