KYIV, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 2: Ukrainian historian and activist Leonid Marushchak holds picture depicting the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko writing the poem "My thoughts, my thoughts" and a Ukrainian woman in an embroidered shirt on September 2, 2024, in Kyiv, Ukraine. Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine, Marushchak often visited museums in frontline cities evacuating local works of art and items of historic value. Several times he was under shelling, the front glass of his van was shattered due to the Russian drone strike. Still, he even managed to rescue stone statues from the Museum of Local Lore in then-encircled Bakhmut. In all, Marushchak managed to take away from the war zone to safer places more than 2 million works of art and historical value.

Arming Ukraine: A closer look at US military aid as Trump freezes further shipments
<p>When Vi Do was just 15, he left his rice farm in a remote rural area of Vietnam and arrived in the capital Hanoi to find work as a shoe shine boy, living on the streets. It’s the path thousands of children take every year to try to make money for their families back home - but it often leaves them vulnerable to human trafficking. An Australian teacher found Vi and helped him get back into school — and later formed Blue Dragon Children's Foundation. Twenty years later, Vi is now co-CEO of the foundation, where he tries to help other street kids get back into education and find a better future.</p>
