    Windows for Ukraine: donations help villagers rebuild shattered homes
    In villages such as Kamianka, about which 'no one cares', some pink recycled windows make a big difference.

    One of the village's most pressing needs is for windows. Amid the rest of the destruction in the village, hardly a window remains, a problem that stretches across Ukraine since every missile or rocket attack on a building will probably also blow out the glass of its immediate neighbours.

    Ukraine's awkward allies: the far-right Russians fighting on Kyiv's side
    Notorious former football hooligan Denis Nikitin runs a controversial unit actively engaged alongside Ukraine forces.

    Before Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last year, Nikitin was known as a notorious Russian nationalist, who built links between far-right groups across Europe and was once a major figure on Russia's football hooliganism scene.

    These days, Nikitin runs the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK, to use its Russian abbreviation), a controversial unit of Russian citizens that fights alongside the Ukrainian army.

    RDK, along with another group of Russians fighting on Kyiv's side, performed several cross-border raids earlier this year, briefly seizing villages inside Russia before retreating back into Ukraine.

    Before Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last year, Nikitin was known as a notorious Russian nationalist, who built links between far-right groups across Europe and was once a major figure on Russia's football hooliganism scene.

    These days, Nikitin runs the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK, to use its Russian abbreviation), a controversial unit of Russian citizens that fights alongside the Ukrainian army.

    RDK, along with another group of Russians fighting on Kyiv's side, performed several cross-border raids earlier this year, briefly seizing villages inside Russia before retreating back into Ukraine.

    Nikitin, who grew up in Russia and Germany, is banned from the Schengen zone since 2019, and has a reputation as one of Europe's most notorious neo-Nazis.

    Ukraine's awkward allies: the far-right Russians fighting on Kyiv's side
    Notorious former football hooligan Denis Nikitin runs a controversial unit actively engaged alongside Ukraine forces.

    Before Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last year, Nikitin was known as a notorious Russian nationalist, who built links between far-right groups across Europe and was once a major figure on Russia's football hooliganism scene.

    These days, Nikitin runs the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK, to use its Russian abbreviation), a controversial unit of Russian citizens that fights alongside the Ukrainian army.

    RDK, along with another group of Russians fighting on Kyiv's side, performed several cross-border raids earlier this year, briefly seizing villages inside Russia before retreating back into Ukraine.

    10 new RDK recruits at a firing range not far outside Kyiv fired several rounds from automatic weapons at targets lined up 50 metres away. Soon, they will head to the front to support Ukrainian operations.

    'The rockets didn't stop us': Odesa violinist Kryrlo Markiv, gears up for symbolic concert
    Kyrylo Markiv, whose instrument was nearly destroyed in Russian attack, to perform in Berlin to mark Independence Day.

    When news of a Russian missile attack on Odesa's Transfiguration Cathedral reached Kyrylo Markiv the violinist headed not to the nearest bunker but to the smouldering building in his home city's Unesco-listed historic centre.

    Markiv, 27, wanted to help put out the fire, but he was also worried about his violin, a delicate instrument part-made of Ukrainian sycamore wood that he had stored in the cathedral’s choir room overnight.

    Markiv travels to Berlin with the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra on Thursday to mark his country's independence day with a free concert at Schönhausen Palace Gardens, his sturdy violin case acts as a symbol of defiance, carrying a replacement instrument loaned to him by a violin-maker who is repairing surface damage on the cherished original.

    Kryrlo Markiv, violonist and singer from Odessa. Kyrlo worked in the famous Cathedral of Odessa - with his violin case , which has got damaged during the Russian rocket attack; HE will play with the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, in Berlin, Germany.
