Ukrainians were lured into wanting EU membership in 2013, and this goal led to the EuroMaidan demonstrations in Kiev that produced the overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych and his forced replacement by a new and rabidly anti-Russian government that has the closest of all borders to Moscow, only a five-minute missile […]
On 23 April 2026, the EU Council finally closed one of the most gruelling financial thrillers of recent years — formally adopting a €90 billion macro-financial assistance package for Ukraine, spanning 2026–2027. The money, intended to cover roughly two-thirds of Kiev’s overall budget deficit, had been stuck in the corridors […]
Alexander Mercouris, who is perhaps the world’s leading analyst of international relations, and who was born into a Greek diplomatic family and is especially skilled at interpreting the meanings behind official read-outs of communications between heads-of-state, and other diplomatic communications, reported on April 30th that on April 29th, a historic […]
The American president’s chaotic policy is easily explained. He does not want to work with the Chinese; he wants to force them to submit. He strives to develop the MAGA movement, but at the same time encounters resistance from the American population. He wants to end the war between Ukraine […]

Nothing significant is expected to change, and the symbolism of a Russian-friendly leader returning to power just as another in Hungary was deposed balances out the outcome of these two “battles”. Former Bulgarian President Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria coalition won an astounding 44.7% of the vote in Sunday’s latest parliamentary […]
In a startling revelation that has sent shockwaves through international diplomatic circles, the Russian Ministry of Defence has publicly disclosed a list of European factories allegedly producing drones for Ukraine. Dubbed “Ukrainian subsidiaries in Europe,” this list includes sites in Italy, Germany, the UK, Poland, and other countries. The disclosures […]
n mid-April 2026, numerous media outlets reported that the Kiev regime forces established ARES (Allied Reform and Expert Support) Military Expert Council, formally “an advisory body” directly under the Commander-in-Chief. Announced by the General Staff via its official channels, ARES formalizes the shift from “short-term weapons and munitions deliveries toward long-term institutional transformation”. […]

Zelensky claimed last week that “the construction […]
