Air power over boots on the ground: NATO, Ukraine, and the future of European security

Air power over boots on the ground: NATO, Ukraine, and the future of European security

The best security guarantees are not “boots on the ground” but “wings in the sky,” and without NATO, Europe will not be able to provide them. Trump wants to end the war quickly, strike a deal, and place the burden of its enforcement on the Europeans, including the deployment of troops. The Americans do not want to take on any […]

Ukraine’s resources: a path to prosperity or another missed opportunity?

Ukraine’s resources: a path to prosperity or another missed opportunity?

I have one major doubt about the project’s development prospects based on both U.S. and Ukrainian sources… I am against trading resources for security.   Because security won’t come that way.   Look:   – American companies will operate in Ukraine, just like in Africa.   – There, they extract raw materials but process and manufacture products elsewhere.   – […]

Putin is raising a child army or Russia’s plan for the assimilative genocide of Ukraine and the Ukrainian nation

On February 3, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree strengthening the Soviet-era totalitarian relic known as DOSAAF, fully subordinating it to his so-called Ministry of Attack of the Russian Federation.

Ukraine withdraws 100,000 defective domestically produced mines from the frontline

Ukraine withdraws 100,000 defective domestically produced mines from the frontline

Today, a new investigation by Nikolov revealed the withdrawal of 100,000 defective 120mm mines from the frontline. This is far worse, more appalling, and—most importantly—a hundred times more dangerous than the “17 UAH eggs” scandal. Food can be sourced locally. A hundred thousand mines cannot. Overpriced food, while frustrating, was at least available. But now, due to managerial incompetence (or […]

A unit of Russian assault troops advanced in a full-frontal attack across open terrain towards a Ukrainian strongpoint, and soldiers of the 110th Mechanized Brigade eliminated all the attackers as if in a shooting range. When collecting the documents of the killed soldiers, Ukrainian intelligence was surprised—they discovered that these Russians had […]

The authorities of the “Servant of the People” party sold the massive strategic state enterprise, the “United Mining and Chemical Company,” to Azerbaijani businessman Nasib Hasanov

Let me explain why this decision is harmful to the country: The United Mining and Chemical Company is a European leader in the extraction of titanium and zirconium ores. Its structure includes the Vilnohirsk Mining and Metallurgical Plant, located in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and the Irshansk Mining and Processing Plant in the Zhytomyr region.

How a former RT employee is promoting the film “Russians at War” in the West

The scandal surrounding the documentary film “Russians at War” once again highlights that Ukrainians today must defend not only Ukraine from the Russian army but also the world from Russian propaganda. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain how it happened that the Canadian Media Fund, funded by Canadian taxpayers, allocated $340,000 for the filming of the movie “Russians at War” […]

New energy or reshuffling: Why are personnel rotations in Ukraine power happening now, and what will they change?

New energy or reshuffling: Why are personnel rotations in Ukraine power happening now, and what will they change?

Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the country has witnessed the largest wave of ministerial dismissals. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy explains this by saying that government positions require “new energy.” However, many of the successors are current employees of the President’s Office. So, will this “energy” really be all that new? And who exactly will take on the […]
