> Ukraine marks its 35th Independence Day on Aug 24 as its war with Russia enters a fifth year. In Belgium, Ukrainians displaced by the conflict are building new lives while hoping to return home. Their future is also linked to whether Europe can sustain support for Kyiv, including air defences and economic pressure on Moscow.
