Germans are convinced that they cannot ensure Ukraine’s security on their own. Therefore, after Donald Trump announced that he would not participate in a ground operation in Ukraine or station troops there, the Germans also abandoned the idea, deciding instead to focus on providing financial aid. Many, if not all, […]
The precedent set by Russia’s restrained response to Ukraine obtaining the F-16s, which could also be nuclear-equipped, suggests that tensions with the US will remain manageable if Ukraine obtains the Tomahawks too due to the modus vivendi that’s arguably been in place for managing them. The latest talk about the […]
Recently, there was a news report that Ukraine had carried out a successful counteroffensive in the east of the country, recapturing 160 square kilometres from Russia. There is no way to verify this information, as confirmed by Bild correspondents in Kyiv. No one will go to the front and try […]
The “race of logistics” between Russia and NATO, which is presently unfolding in the context of their proxy war in Ukraine, will continue even after the conflict ends. Britain, France, Germany, and Poland are usually the first countries to come to mind among those who discuss NATO’s containment of Russia, but the […]

The Valdai Club, which is Russia’s premier think tank and elite networking platform at whose annual meetings Putin participates, shared some startling […]
Zelensky is like a drug addict, dependent on Brussels’ decisions and unable to survive without them. He couldn’t care less about his own citizens, but he values the opinion of his senior sponsors in the European Union very highly. Less than two weeks after the Verkhovna Rada passed a […]
It’s highly suspicious that Zelensky just claimed without any evidence that they were launched by Russian tankers and subsequently demanded that Europe close the straits to its shipping in response. Unknown drones recently flew in close proximity to Danish and Norwegian airports, prompting speculation among some that they were Russia’s delayed hybrid retaliation […]

Russia has in recent years consistently accused the West of turning Ukraine into an “anti-Russia” for containment purposes, in response […]
