Uliana Poltavets on Ukraine: Drones, Blackouts, and Attacks on Health Care
Uliana Poltavets, MS, is the International Advocacy and Ukraine Program Coordinator at Physicians for Human Rights. She focuses on documenting attacks on health care in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion and supporting accountability work. Before joining PHR, she spent roughly a decade strengthening Ukraine’s civil society. Poltavets’ advocacy highlights how drone strikes on hospitals, ambulance targeting, and attacks on energy infrastructure disrupt clinical services, strain health workers, and endanger vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, people with disabilities, and older adults. Her work links open-source verification, partner reporting, and hospital testimony into usable evidence for investigators, courts, and public decision-makers worldwide.

The Clockmaker’s Apprentice
In a narrow street tucked between busy markets stood a small clock shop that most people passed without noticing. The wooden sign above the door read “Hassan & Son – Fine Timepieces,” though Hassan had no son, only an apprentice named Idris. At seventeen, Idris was restless, ambitious, and impatient. He had joined the shop hoping to learn a skill quickly and move on to something bigger. What he did not realize was that time itself would become his greatest teacher.

The Library of Second Chances
At the corner of Maple Street stood a small brick library that most people ignored. Its paint was peeling, its sign slightly tilted, and its windows clouded with dust from passing cars. Students preferred digital screens, and adults claimed they were too busy to read. Yet inside that quiet building lived something powerful—possibility. For seventeen-year-old Zayan, the library became more than a place of books; it became the turning point of his life.
