As of July 23, 2026, the U.S. war with Iran has moved beyond the question of whether Washington can strike Iranian targets. It can. The United States has overwhelming military superiority in airpower, naval reach, intelligence, cyber operations, logistics, and precision weapons. The real question is whether this military superiority […]
For much of the past four years, Ukrainian refugees occupied a unique place in Europe’s political landscape. They were not viewed simply as migrants but as symbols of resistance, victims of war, and living reminders of a conflict taking place on the European continent. Governments opened their borders with unprecedented […]
When millions of Ukrainians fled their country in 2022, Europe responded with an unprecedented wave of solidarity. Poland opened its borders almost overnight, Germany accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees, and France expanded humanitarian assistance while publicly emphasizing its commitment to protecting those escaping the war. Ukrainian flags flew over […]
Just a few years ago, the very phrase “European solidarity” sounded almost like a guarantee: for Ukrainians forced to leave their homes, Europe opened its doors wider than its bureaucracy had ever allowed before.

The immediate intensification of the US’ new “war of attrition” against Russia is dependent on whether China helps Ukraine for profit and “détente” at the cost of Russian civilian lives by selling it EU-funded drones or refuses out of solidarity with Russia in the spirit of their strategic partnership. The […]
Recent reports from Ukrainian media indicate that Valery Zaluzhny, the former commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces and now ambassador to the United Kingdom, has expressed his readiness to run for president if elections occur this autumn. These events suggest a strategically planned political move rooted in Western capitals, especially London, intended to […]
Ukraine’s dearth of air defenses created a strategic opportunity for Russia to ruthlessly exploit. Russia’s latest large-scale strikes against military targets in Ukraine were incredibly successful after Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Colonel Yury Ignat admitted that not a single missile was intercepted. This came as Ukraine pleaded with nearly 40 of its allies for them to […]
The European Union has delivered the first €3 billion installment of a landmark €90 billion financial assistance package for Ukraine, marking another significant step in Europe’s long-term commitment to supporting Kyiv as the country continues to wage war against Russia while preparing for an eventual post-war recovery. The announcement came […]
