For those outside of Ukraine — especially those without direct ties to the Ukrainian context — you may find yourself asking : “Are there still missile strikes?” Even if the presence of war may be acknowledged, the ongoing reality of civilian casualties can be frequently overlooked, if not forgotten.
According to UN statistics, civilian deaths in the first quarter of 2025 were 59% higher than in the same period of 2024.
This post is a reminder that the horror continues. Shellings occur almost daily, and the bodies of civilians, including children, continue to be found among the rubble of collapsed buildings.
Between April and May 2025 alone, civilian casualties were reported in 17 of Ukraine’s 24 regions, as well as in the capital city of Kyiv — including areas far from the frontlines.
Each number in these images represents a real person. These were people who were peacefully sleeping or going to work. People who wanted to live and did nothing to provoke the constant aerial bombardment that continues to rain down upon their communities. People who live under the constant fear of death.

We have some new followers so let's introduce ourselves again!

Resistance Connections is a small Berlin-based activist group composed of mostly non-Ukrainian people with activist experience in various left-wing causes. We support left-wing organisations in Ukraine, so that they can survive the war and contribute to the struggles that are necessary to build a social Ukraine and an emancipated world. Like the Ukrainian left, we stand in solidarity with struggles for self-determination around the world: in Kurdistan, in Palestine, in Armenia, and others, rejecting positions that are fully determined by which geopolitical power bloc the affected people have ended up aligned with. Our position of simultaneous solidarity with Ukrainians and Palestinians is represented by almost no other organisation in Germany, even on the left.

We came together in September 2022, feeling the need to do something given a situation without precedent: the fact that a total lack of interest in even left-wing Ukrainian perspectives about the war had become normalised on the left in Germany. We decided it is necessary to intervene both in this discourse and to become active in providing practical solidarity to the people affected by this war of aggression by Russia. At the same time we and our partners in Ukraine reject the uncritical attitudes towards NATO and towards the Ukrainian government, that are common in liberal pro-Ukraine discourses.
We focus our fundraising activities towards Solidarity Collectives, who carry out practical aid to civilians and to left-wing, trade unionist and antifascist fighters on the front. We also work with the Berlin-based direct aid organisation Radical Aid Force. Specifically we support these organisations in Ukraine: Solidarity Collectives [1], Social Movement [2], Direct Action[3], Commons Journal [4], Resistance Committee [5], Fem-Bilkis [6].

Building Ukraine-Palestine Solidarity
Recent episode of the podcast The Fire, These Times, a multimedia project working to uplift internationalist dialogues on human rights, climate change, and visions of bold futures.
Born out of a desire to explore transformative ideas amidst global upheavals, The Fire These Times seeks answers two pressing questions: How can we build the new in the shell of the old? And how do we make it easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of the world?
The episode is available on Spotify and other platforms listed here.

Hamas und die menschlichen Schutzschilde: Das tödlichste Märchen des Nahen Ostens - Schantall und Scharia
Versteckt sich die Hamas feige hinter Zivilisten? Kaum eine israelische Propaganda-Erzählung wird so oft von deutschen Medien verbreitet. Berichterstattung über den gut dokumentieren Missbrauch palästinensischer Zivilisten durch Israels Armee gibt es kaum.

This Saturday let’s dive into the weekend together: after the demo, whether you want to learn more about organising, or need some cosines with tea, warm company & perhaps a little body work, camp is the place to be.
12:00 - Working groups, plenary and onboarding!
13:00 - Handala Sets Sail!
An exclusive live stream with Yasemin Acar from the Flotilla before her next mission on the Handala. Hear from Yasemin about her on the ground / water actions, & learn how we can effectively build on and develop our organised resistance where we are.
17:00 - Arabic Language and Culture Session that enriches our minds with the beautiful spoken and written Arabic language, its various dialectic nuances, & diverse cultural knowledge from the region.
18:00- Body Work Salon: Weekly NADA Session at camp!
The Body Work Salon is a free, weekly, queer-run bodywork clinic for comrades one an all!
The NADA protocol involves the acupuncture of 5 ear points in a special setting. It can be an effective treatment for people suffering from stress, trauma, & a wide variety of mental health conditions. Comrades sit quietly in a group setting for 30-45 minutes to experience the effects together.
19:00 - Anarchist Organising with Jara - Part 1 - Basic Principles
Have you ever gotten stuck organising an action and you can't understand why? Have you ever found yourself spending eight hours on one share pic, and ended up with the same design you had at the beginning? Have you ever found yourself repeating the same patterns again and again?
Sounds like you need some ✨✨ANARCHISM ✨✨
Join BgB member Jara in a workshop discussing some basic principles of anarchist organising, and how you can implement them in your everyday political activism, based on experiences with BgB.
20:00 Daily Yelling at Merz's office!
He has complained about us, so lets keep it up ;)
