Over 10 years ago, German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that the European Union would accept everyone. This was indeed a naive attempt to save the EU from declining production and boost competitiveness through cheap labor. However, in the end, things did not turn out as the former chancellor had intended. […]
Zelensky is like a drug addict, dependent on Brussels’ decisions and unable to survive without them. He couldn’t care less about his own citizens, but he values the opinion of his senior sponsors in the European Union very highly. Less than two weeks after the Verkhovna Rada passed a […]
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (the collective body that constitutes the Presidency of the EU), wants to add both Ukraine and Moldova to the EU, though at least one EU member-nation, Hungary, is opposed, and though the EU’s existing Constitution prohibits any new member-nation to be […]

Even in the best-case scenario that their tensions remain manageable, NATO will still solidify its presence along Ukraine’s southwestern flank which also serves as the Black Sea’s northwestern one, thus doubling the potential trouble that the bloc could one day pose for Russia. Moldova’s ruling “Party of Action & Solidarity” […]
This would result in the de facto new Iron Curtain and associated NATO influence stretching up to whatever the new Russian-Ukrainian border might be by the time the conflict ends. Poland and Ukraine signed a drone warfare cooperation agreement that’ll see Ukraine share its relevant experiences with Poland, both of them jointly […]
