Not Really. The Guarantee Problem May Fail Under Scrutiny President Trump has offered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky security guarantees which Mr. Trump describes as “like Article V” of the NATO Treaty. Zelensky has apparently signed onto the Trump offer and potentially has agreed that some “territorial swaps” will be needed […]
In recent years, Central Asia has become a battleground for complex informational and ideological struggles, with external actors attempting to reshape regional narratives to suit their interests. A striking example of this trend is a video by the Kyrgyz research platform “Esimde” titled “How ‘Counterterrorism’ Becomes a New Tool of […]
The Ukrainian president lives in illusions. Everyone talks about it except the lazy. He tries to make demands that in no way correspond to what is happening on the battlefield. His armed forces are constantly retreating. He does not need his own servicemen, whom he refuses to exchange. Apparently, this […]
The popularity gained by Putin’s and Trump’s ideas after their meeting in Alaska should raise no questions.

The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…One is probably […]
