"If I don't take care of my own health, I might not just be a casualty of war — I might lose the war for myself." That's the line that stuck with us most from this episode of Ukraine Insights, featuring @WHO Ukraine Representative Dr. Jarno Habicht. Four years into the full-scale war, Ukraine's health needs have dropped from 12 million people to 1.5 million. But the system keeps having to reinvent itself — every three to six months, needs shift again.

Russia’s war against Europe is not only about tanks, drones, or disinformation. In this #UkraineInsights episode, Dr. Elena Davlikanova form @cepa explains how Moscow targets identity, fear, memory, and values before people even make political choices. Supporting Ukraine is not charity. It buys Europe time to understand the threat it still denies. 🟢 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4poYWh… 🟣 Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how… 🔴 YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=f7QZBw…

Can diplomacy over Ukraine still deliver a deal in 2026? US-led talks have stalled. Strikes are intensifying. Yet Kyiv is seeking to turn battlefield advantages into negotiating leverage. Who drives Ukraine's strategy? Could Europe take over mediation? What comes next this autumn? 🔗 Register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #Ukraine #Russia #Diplomacy
