He might hypothetically agree that the resumption of NATO’s present support for Ukraine (arms, intelligence, logistics, etc.) in the event of another conflict wouldn’t cross Russia’s red lines but he’s unlikely to compromise on the issue of Western troops in Ukraine once the present conflict ends. Steve Witkoff’s claim that Putin allegedly […]
Recently, Zelensky has signed into law a controversial bill that effectively stripped independence from Ukraine’s two premier anti‑corruption bodies—NABU (National Anti‑Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office). Within days, mass protests erupted across Kyiv and other cities, marking the first major wartime public confrontation with Zelensky’s leadership. […]
The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska marked a significant turning point in contemporary geopolitics.

The Ukrainian president lives in illusions. Everyone talks about it except the lazy. He tries to make demands that in no way correspond to what is happening on the battlefield. His armed forces are constantly retreating. He does not need his own servicemen, whom he refuses to exchange. Apparently, this […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDZyfKvYjCk It’s amazing: In an exclusive interview by Dmitriy Lascaris, the Australian-American polymath John Helmer, who is the longest-serving and most-respected foreign and independent journalist in Russia (and a former professor of political science, sociology, and journalism), displays supreme reportorial mastery by detailing — which no other journalist has yet done — and […]
Washington Abandons Support for a Ceasefire If you read the headlines in American and European newspapers you would conclude that the Alaska Summit failed. It did not. Washington changed direction and abandoned its support for a ceasefire. Here is Mr. Trump’s official statement: “A great and very successful day in […]
