On the Kostiantynivka direction, medics of the "Khizhak" brigade saved a wounded soldier

Medics of the "Khizhak" brigade on the Konstantynivka direction timely transferred a wounded soldier to the next evacuation link. Video of this was shown in the "Khizhak" brigade.

It is noted that on the Konstantynivka direction, roads are under constant observation by Russian drones, making every exit critically dangerous.

But the medic crew of the brigade managed to pass the section under armored protection under the threat of air strikes, pull the wounded soldier out from under fire, and transfer him to the next evacuation link.

bbcglobalwomen In Afghanistan's Herat province, a disabled father takes his eight-year-old daughter to a school an hour away from their home, travelling in his wheelchair.

Dawood, who polishes shoes in the city, says he wants his two daughters and son to study so they can build a future.
His determination has been widely praised on social media, as well as by his daughters' teachers, who consider him an example to others.

The father says he feels happy knowing both of his daughters go to school, and he hopes that the Taliban's ban on girls' education beyond the sixth grade will not prevent them from continuing their studies.

themoscowtimes Vladimir Ovchinnikov, the anti-war artist known for his street art in Borovsk, a provincial town 115 kilometers from Moscow, has passed away at age 88 after a long battle with illness.

Ovchinnikov became well-known across Russia and beyond in 2022 when he painted a girl dressed in the colors of the Ukrainian flag surrounded by bombs with the word "Stop!" For that piece, the artist was charged with "discrediting" Russia's military

From then on, Ovchinnikov began painting doves around the city, saying, "Since bombs aren't allowed, let there at least be symbols of peace."

Born in 1938 in Tashkent, modern-day Uzbekistan, he began painting the walls of Borovsk in the mid-1990s.
In 2022, he told The Moscow Times: "I consider [the war] a violation of all international norms - how can you attack a neighbor for no reason?"

"How many more young people must be killed to remember that a bad peace is better than a good war? People in Russia used to say 'peace to the world' and 'no to war' but now such statements are punishable by law," he said. "Where are we heading?"
