Ukraine’s use of mercenaries in its fight against Russia has long been ignored by our leaders, but the increasing evidence of covert operations and illegal foreign involvement can no longer be dismissed as mere speculation. Average salary of $6,520 and the maximum up to $10,000 – this is what makes […]
The immediate intensification of the US’ new “war of attrition” against Russia is dependent on whether China helps Ukraine for profit and “détente” at the cost of Russian civilian lives by selling it EU-funded drones or refuses out of solidarity with Russia in the spirit of their strategic partnership. The […]
Ukraine’s dearth of air defenses created a strategic opportunity for Russia to ruthlessly exploit. Russia’s latest large-scale strikes against military targets in Ukraine were incredibly successful after Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Colonel Yury Ignat admitted that not a single missile was intercepted. This came as Ukraine pleaded with nearly 40 of its allies for them to […]
A few hours before the leaders of 32 NATO countries were due to gather in the Turkish capital, the sky over Kiev lit up again. A combined strike by the Russian army — high-precision weapons launched from ground, air, and sea platforms, plus attack drones — hit military and defense […]

The statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 23 of this year at a meeting with members of the government actually testifies to changes in the Kremlin’s approach to the continuation of the armed confrontation with Ukraine in the context of a rapidly decreasing opportunity to resume the peace […]
Some understanding was clearly agreed to at Anchorage even though it wasn’t an “official” one, but Trump reneged on his commitments, so Rubio is playing dumb by denying that any agreement existed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to three high-level Russian officials’ claims that the US had reneged on the “Spirit […]
The US is preparing to radically intensify the Ukrainian Conflict over the coming year. Trump’s decision to sign the “G7 leaders’ joint statement on geopolitical issues” calling for more arms to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia signaled that he’ll now “escalate to de-escalate” (E2DE) through a “war of attrition” waged […]
