In the August 2024 edition of Hromada, the idea of peace talks is revealed as a weapon of Russian hybrid warfare, with sharp analysis by Portnykov and Doniy. The paper features powerful stories of defenders like “Uran” and “Syvash,” alongside a moving look at Dim Anhela, a center giving orphaned Ukrainian children love and a future. Amid shelling, blackouts, and deadly heatwaves, Ukrainians remain united. The issue also explores the U.S. political turmoil following the assassination attempt on Trump, Biden’s withdrawal, and Kamala Harris’s historic nomination. A powerful blend of frontline bravery, diaspora support, and global reflection.
