The fact that Peskov confirmed that Putin could hypothetically meet with Zelensky under certain conditions is proof of the Russian leader’s pragmatic desire to end the conflict if the right terms are reached instead of continuing it as an explicitly declared regime change campaign. Zelensky’s term expired over a year […]
Here was another chance – at least as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saw it – of threading one set of events with another. It’s all part of the Israeli security state’s playbook: any killing of Jews or its citizens, wherever they might be, will have a causal link to […]
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine took place in Istanbul. There has been a lot of speculation about this in Europe, the USA, and Ukraine, but by and large they can be called successful. There is progress. The question is whether this success will be consolidated in the next negotiations. This […]
It is quite amusing to see so-called “wignats” fervently defending Ukraine due to an outdated propaganda narrative about “white Christian Europeans being attacked by the red Mongol-Bolshevik horde.” In their view, Putin is a communist sending his Asian and Islamic hordes to kill Ukrainians—white Christians desperately defending their home and […]

The longer that Ukraine refuses to agree to peace on Russia’s terms, the more land that it stands to lose, which might ultimately be much more than anyone expects if the US soon abandons Ukraine in order to cut its losses. Putin warned in March 2024 that Russia might set up a […]
Part I Notably, even some Western leaders have implicitly acknowledged NATO’s role in causing the war, albeit while assigning blame to Putin. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg remarked that “President Putin started this war because he wanted to close NATO’s door [to Ukraine] and had to deny Ukraine the right […]
He’s known for being a realist, not a wishful thinker, which is why his prediction was so surprising to many observers. Putin predicted a few weeks back that Russia will inevitably reconcile with the EU and Ukraine. Regarding the first, he said that “I have no doubt whatsoever that we will, in […]
Behind all the talks about a combination of ecology and politics there are always the interests of certain oligarchic groups. The concept of sustainable development has been advertised on international platforms for many years, primarily in the United Nations.. At the Summit of this Organization in 2015, 193 countries signed […]
