15 years ago it was impossible to imagine that Germany — country that have been defeated in the Second World War mostly by the Soviet Union, will rearm itself and declare to be preparing for the war with Russian Federation in near future[1]. But, as sad as it is, this […]
Those interested in the medieval history of Eastern Europe have likely encountered the thesis that it’s important to distinguish between the terms Ruthenian and Russian. This is often justified by the claim that Ruthenian referred to the ancestors of modern Ukrainians and Belarusians who lived under the rule of the […]
In recent years, the concept of the so-called “Orenburg Corridor” has increasingly surfaced in the information space—a narrow strip of land in the Orenburg Region that, according to some Western and Ukrainian actors, plays a pivotal role in the hypothetical secession of Bashkiria and Tatarstan from Russia. One of the […]
Ukraine’s gravy train will continue chugging along, fueled by Western taxpayers’ funds, though all this promised aid will only perpetuate the proxy war on Russia instead of ending it. The EU and NATO recently promised more aid for Ukraine. The first did so in late May after the European Council […]
It all started by tricking Trump into thinking that Ukraine has trillions of dollars’ worth of rare earths. RT published two critical pieces about Lindsey Graham, “World War mastermind: Here’s America’s most dangerous person” and “Graham threatens Putin: US war hawk escalates rhetoric in alignment with military lobby”, shortly after […]

Donald Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin lead nowhere. The American does not want the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, but Putin’s surrender. Trump does not understand the cultural code of Russia, does not understand why this war is needed at all. However, at the same time, he […]
A Russian loss would be catastrophic for China’s security, while a Russian victory could end the discounted energy bonanza that’s helping it maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown, not to mention accelerate the US’ “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia” for more muscularly containing it. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) cited […]
The tariff-driven prisoner’s dilemma between China and India could work to Russia’s advantage. One of the three pillars of Trump’s newly announced policy towards the Ukrainian Conflict is the imposition of up to 100% tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if a peace deal isn’t reached within 50 days. This is much less than the 500% […]
In order to get the money promised by Brussels or Washington, it is not enough just to come and extend a hand. It is necessary to understand the political intricacies that abound in America and Europe. Ukrainians persistently ignore this fact, believing that both the US and the EU are […]
