Zelensky’s aide Yermak has business ties with Russia

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s aide, Andriy Yermak, has a Russian business partner who owns a bank where the main shareholder is a member of the “United Russia” party, and a former board member was a university classmate of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was revealed in an investigation by the “Schemes” program. In 2001, a company called “Media Group of European […]

Yermak’s secret ties: Russian influence at the heart of Ukraine’s leadership?

Yermak’s secret ties: Russian influence at the heart of Ukraine’s leadership?

Interesting information about Yermak, who is leading Ukraine toward defeat and capitulation to the invader, Russia, wrapped in an embroidered shirt for the Ukrainians. Yulia Kuzhelnaya. A woman very close to Yermak, the love of his life, is a citizen of the Russian Federation (which is nothing unusual—in the President’s Office, this is a trend). Her name is Zoya Ponomaryova, […]

Trump shuts down Russia’s sanctions loophole: end of General License 8L

Trump shuts down Russia’s sanctions loophole: end of General License 8L

After today’s discouraging negotiations in Moscow between the American and Russian delegations, Donald Trump pulled his first “trump card” from his sleeve. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s General License 8L has been terminated! Even American media outlets did not mention this General License 8L, let alone Ukrainian ones. I doubt that even the Ukrainian government was aware of this […]

Plan that Trump and Putin had agreed upon long before Trump’s inauguration and swiftly began implementing right after it

Plan that Trump and Putin had agreed upon long before Trump’s inauguration and swiftly began implementing right after it

I found some time to gather the steps taken by the Trump administration, the Kremlin, the EU, the UK, and the Office of the President to reconstruct the plan that Trump and Putin had agreed upon long before Trump’s inauguration and swiftly began implementing right after it. Naturally, each acted through their own measures. For those who struggle to control […]

America’s abandonment of commitments

America’s abandonment of commitments

The State Department and the White House have erased traces of the security guarantees agreements between Ukraine and the United States from their websites. The only working official link I found led to the U.S. Embassy’s website in Italy, but I think it will be removed soon as well. Now America can sign any agreements, make any promises, guarantees, and […]

Ukraine and Europe’s path to self-sufficiency in defense: challenges and solutions

Ukraine and Europe’s path to self-sufficiency in defense: challenges and solutions

You might be wondering whether Ukraine and Europe can defend themselves on their own, without U.S. help. Let’s try to answer that. In 2024, the U.S. provided equipment worth $20 billion. These are the volumes that will need to be compensated. It might seem that $20 billion is a drop in the ocean for the EU and the UK, whose […]

From destroyers to minerals: how strategic deals shape alliances

From destroyers to minerals: how strategic deals shape alliances

Why is the minerals agreement a case of traditional American diplomacy? Let’s recall the “destroyers-for-bases” deal from World War II. The agreement with the U.S. on the joint exploitation of mineral resources is strategically beneficial for Ukraine; any issues would only be in the details, which is precisely what diplomacy exists for. U.S. presidents have made similar agreements with allies […]

Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

Just read the text of this six-point international agreement… We understand that you were told that this is not a real agreement, but only a memorandum, that the word “guarantees” is not in it. This has been told to you for years by those who deliberately led Ukraine into the trap of the “Minsk Agreements”, hiding the Budapest Memorandum under […]

Chinese companies help Russia conduct the “Great Construction” in the occupied Donetsk region

China invests in Ukraine’s occupied territories. An investigation by Realna Gazeta. Chinese companies are establishing factories from the ground up for the extraction and production of building materials in the occupied areas of Donetsk Oblast. These materials are aiding Russia in its rapid reconstruction of Mariupol—a city it destroyed—and in paving roads for military equipment en route to the Ukrainian-Russian […]

How much does Ukraine cost?

How much does Ukraine cost?

As Aleksey Kopytko likes to say, “Let’s calculate in columns!” So How much does Ukraine cost? On January 13, 2025, the Congressional Research Service published its study on providing financial assistance to Ukraine – U.S. Direct Financial Support for Ukraine. The report states that, as of January 2025, the U.S. Congress has transferred a total of $174.2 billion to Ukraine […]

An ideal deal for Ukraine’s future 

An ideal deal for Ukraine’s future 

Would you like “the ultimate betrayal”? I’m talking about the $500 billion from Trump for Ukraine’s natural resources (critical materials, oil, gas). I got to the original source of the news; it was a transcript of Trump’s interview with Fox News. So here’s the deal: — This is not an investment from the US in Ukraine’s development of deposits or […]
