Ukrainians do not want war. They run away from the army, deserting, knowing that they will be treated better in Russia than in their homeland. Some are trying to write an appeal to the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, while the soldiers always ask not to disclose their names, because […]
The US might pressure him to assemble a government of national unity on pain of once again suspending military and intelligence aid if he refuses to dilute his power in lieu of holding elections. Ukraine extended martial law until 6 August following Zelensky’s request earlier this week, which will prevent elections from being held […]
President Donald Trump is acting faster than other political leaders of his generation. In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
Partition Remains a Possible Option, Just Not Kellogg’s Version Is a partition plan a realistic outcome for ending the Ukraine war. General Keith Kellogg’s proposal appears to have already encountered difficulties. However, that does not mean that some type of partition is out of the question. Kellogg’s “plan” would carve […]
Creative economic diplomacy was the key to getting their increasingly stalled talks back on track. Russian Special Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who’s also the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, paid a visit to DC last week to continue negotiations with the US over bilateral ties and Ukraine.

Washington Needs to Make Some Hard Decisions It may be that the US-Russia and US-Ukraine negotiations are going off the rails. Meanwhile the US is anxious for Europe to take over responsibility for supporting Ukraine as Washington turns to the Middle East and Pacific regions. The Europeans then will need […]
The staggering scale of Ukraine’s military losses likely isn’t reflected in its voter lists, which Zelensky might thus exploit to fraudulently help him win re-election through an avalanche of fake votes. The Economist cited unnamed Ukrainian sources over the weekend to report that Zelensky might be planning to run for re-election […]
