The latest news from the aggressor state is not encouraging those of the Russian population who support the war. They see not only the lack of success at the frontlines but also political games and drama undermining the professionalism of the Russian army. The head of the Wagner private army, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is hated by the Russian Army and its leaders, has announced his army’s withdrawal from the Bakhmut region a few times. Prigozhin’s latest statement came a few

Ukraine has been struggling with cleaning out Russian KGB and FSB elements from our political system since the Soviet times. According to intelligence sources, almost every third of Ukrainian politicians or government figures were connected with the Russian government during the last decade and had either political or business relationships that operated under Kremlin supervision. As a result, before the war, Moscow had its well-trusted people in the Security Service of Ukraine, in Parliament, in the top management of the

Ukraine’s allies think sanctions will hurt our country’s aggressor, especially Putin. Well, it seems the president of the aggressor state still has enough funds to support his allies worldwide. A few days ago, Romanian pro-Russian senator Diana Shoshoacke, a strong supporter of the Russian regime, recognized territories annexed by Russia in Ukraine and demanded the annexation of territories of the old Romanian kingdom, which are now part of Ukraine. At the same time, Turkish presidential candidate Doğu Perinçek supported the

For the last few days, the world’s media has been discussing the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Putin. According to the law, 123 countries must arrest him if he arrives in their territory. Everyone says it is a big win for the world. Agree. It is another step toward isolating and putting new constraints on the Russian dictator. But does it really hurt Putin? Let’s be honest with ourselves. Since the war, he has not traveled to countries that

Today marks one year since Russia started the full-scale war, not only against the Ukrainian nation but also against the democratic values of the civilized world. The results of this aggression have been devastating to the country and also have significantly affected neighboring countries. Around 10 million people have left their homes, and eight million have been forced to leave the country in search of shelter. Almost 1,000 children have suffered injuries, and 500 children have been killed. Ukraine has

Ukraine has been in the top three countries for population loss, losing its population rapidly. In the last 20 years, around eight to nine million Ukrainians left the country to find a better place to live. In 2000, the Ukrainian state used to run a commercial with the slogan, “You are not alone, it’s 52 million of us”. Before the war, Ukraine had a population of around 43 million people, give or take. In the last decade, the Ukrainian government

  The Russian Federation’s nuclear threats have diminished after the West clearly stated that they are not afraid of it and are prepared for it. Russia cannot just launch a nuclear missile into another country’s territory without consequences; this would lead to a cataclysmic response from the US and its allies. However, if Russia must defend its territories, there would be a possibility and definitely an excuse to use the most dangerous weapon against Ukraine. This might be why the Russian

  NORTH CALDWELL, N.J. – The former minister of finance of Ukraine, Natalie Jaresko, said she believes the cost to rebuild Ukraine after the war ends “could be up to $1 trillion,” adding that “this is going to be probably the largest single rebuilding plan in history.” In an exclusive interview conducted for The Ukrainian Weekly’s “Krynytsya” podcast, Ms. Jaresko said the damage done to Ukraine’s infrastructure is one massive concern. But the country’s economy has also suffered immensely. “It

The German government is under massive pressure. Olaf Scholz has been blamed for blocking the Russian Oil embargo and failing to supply heavy weapons to Ukraine. Also, if you recall, Ukraine was barred from EU membership in 2008 by former Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel. Interesting coincidence. All German chancellors work against Ukraine’s benefit. We all understand that Scholz will never cross the people who delivered him into power. With his ability to speak perfect German, Putin has made such

The Russian army started the war in Ukraine with an offensive strategy along 4 directions. The first direction was from Belarus (north), and the Russians were repulsed and had to leave the region. The second offensive direction was from the Chernihiv and Sumy regions (east), where the Russians were repulsed and were forced to leave the area due to significant losses. The third direction was in the south, in the Odesa region, where Russian Navy vessels were damaged and the
