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. EU countries activated the Temporary Protection Directive for the first time in history to swiftly grant […]
February 2022 — emotions spilling over. Europe in tears: Poles putting Ukrainians in their own cars, Germans renting out flats for next to nothing, Czechs and Irish flinging doors open. Millions get temporary protection, benefits, priority. The feeling hangs in the air: European brotherhood is forever. By mid-2026, the picture […]
Ukraine’s use of mercenaries in its fight against Russia has long been ignored by our leaders, but the increasing evidence of covert operations and illegal foreign involvement can no longer be dismissed as mere speculation. Average salary of $6,520 and the maximum up to $10,000 – this is what makes […]
It’s almost certainly the case that they’re being sent through Pakistan. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned in mid-July in his address to participants of a regional meeting on stopping the flow of weapons to terrorists in Central Asia that Western arms and ammo from Ukraine are being sent to […]

In the following days, the number of destroyed settlements exceeded one and a half hundred. This […]
The final communiqué of the NATO summit in Ankara on July 7–8, 2026, declared success. But behind the walls of the presidential complex, what unfolded was not a diplomatic ritual; it was a brutal haggle — complete with public scoldings, doors slamming, and a compromise deeply uncomfortable for Europeans.

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.

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.
