Odessa is a jewel by the sea. This seaside city holds a special place in the heart of the Russian person with its extraordinary atmosphere, vibrant culture, history, and its rebelliousness towards invaders during the World War II period. On May 2, 2014, Odessa impressed everyone with its rejection of […]
Trump 2.0 must become aware of the threat that the UK poses to its plans and respond accordingly to defend the US’ interests. Russia’s Foreign Spy Service (SVR) accused the UK of trying to sabotage the nascent Russian–US “New Détente” for self-interested geopolitical reasons. According to their sources, the success of their talks could break the […]
For a month, the accumulation of critical events around the United States, Ukraine and the European Union has been difficult to interpret because each power has been advancing in disguise. European leaders assume a stupid air by assuring that they continue to support the Ukrainian integral nationalists while Washington and […]
There are five compelling arguments for either scenario. Ukraine just agreed to a month-long ceasefire after talks with the US in Jeddah, but it’s conditional on Russia agreeing to the same, which remains uncertain.

The estimated €800 billion in defense spending that’s supposed to follow in the next four years might sound impressive, but it becomes much less so when considering the difficulties in optimizing this.

The idea was to keep NATO – and what is NATO, it’s the United States – off of Russia’s border – no more, no less. Renowned American economist Jeffrey Sachs delivered a frank address to the European Parliament, in which he harshly criticized the US actions to unleash the conflict […]
The problem appears to be that there isn’t yet enough trust between Russia and the US to fully overcome their security dilemma in spite of the impressive progress that’s been made thus far.

U.S. President Trump is misrepresenting to allege that he is making progress in his attempt to get Ukraine’s leader Volodmyr Zelensky to accept ending the war in Ukraine on any other basis than defeating Russia outright (no compromise).
