The US is preparing to radically intensify the Ukrainian Conflict over the coming year. Trump’s decision to sign the “G7 leaders’ joint statement on geopolitical issues” calling for more arms to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia signaled that he’ll now “escalate to de-escalate” (E2DE) through a “war of attrition” waged […]
It can now be concluded that Zelensky began meddling in Poland against Nawrocki even before he revoked the Order of the White Eagle from him, which in turn suggests that more politically unfriendly moves will follow and potentially come to characterize their ties by fall 2027’s next Sejm elections. Zelensky […]
The following is from the lone neutralist website in the Ukrainian language, strana.ua, which is blocked in both Ukraine and Russia, but is nonetheless either #1 or #2 as the most frequently visited online news website by Ukrainians: https://stranaua.media/news/507688-itohi-1580-dnja-vojny-v-ukraine.html https://stranaua-media.translate.goog/news/507688-itohi-1580-dnja-vojny-v-ukraine.html?_x_tr_sl=uk&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://archive.ph/EGIUb “The Day at the Front: Russians in Konstantinovka” 22 […]

A hard sceptic of the Kyiv Appreciation Society in the form of Hungary’s former Prime Minister Viktor […]
It’s understandably more important for him to avoid a major war than to maintain his personal pride at the possible expense of his life if the aforesaid worst-case scenario then materializes due to him putting his ego over national interests. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko recently gave an hour-long interview to Al Arabiya […]

Lukashenko reaffirmed in early June amidst escalating tensions with Ukraine that Belarus has no intent to go to war with it.

During the summit of the European Political Community in Yerevan, an episode occurred that said a great deal about Europe’s real attitude toward Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of the country hosting the event at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron, together with the entire Armenian delegation, was effectively and […]
