Olexandr Kochetkov encountered online ramblings from those who were “around thirty when independence of Ukraine was gained and already knew a lot,” claiming that there were thoughts about not giving up nuclear weapons (NW) and somehow negotiating with the Americans to maintain them together. And then Putin wouldn’t have attacked us, the Dnipro would flow with moonshine, chickens would lay […]

Viktoriia Onopriienko on unexpected desicion I unexpectedly found some free time, for the first time in 16 years. In the past few days, I’ve learned a lot of “interesting” things about myself. It hurts me (it would be strange if I felt otherwise right now, wouldn’t it?), but none of the drama people are writing about actually happened. Everything is […]

After the much-publicized Peace Summit in Switzerland, which we are proud of, an act of shuttle diplomacy by V. Orban, which we condemn, took place. And then—nothing happens. Our government squeezed out that Russia should participate in the next summit. Instead, Russia immediately responded that it has no desire because everything is going well for it: it is not planning […]

Who is responsible for the fact that Ukrainian diplomats and border guards created a smuggling channel to Europe? Yuriy Butusov investigates. On February 23, 2024 it was reported that a minibus from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was detained in Hungary. The driver, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs employee, and Larisa Shmelova, the wife of the First Secretary of […]

Deputy of the President’s Office Oleg Tatarov overstepped: prosecutors from the Prosecutor General’s Office were caught taking a bribe of 170 thousand dollars. The Anti-Corruption Action Center investigates. In the past 24 hours alone, several corruption stories involving law enforcement officers, whose activities in the country are officially coordinated by the current Deputy Head of the Presidential Office, Oleh Tatarov, have […]

Ukraine’s defender lost. What is really means? The true face of war and reality of thousands of Ukrainian families in one letter. My brother Sasha got killed… I wanted to write something grandiose, as is customary, that a hero has fallen! But you know, in reality, it’s not as grandiose and eloquent. He is not on a shield; he is […]

Nobody will see this post because it contains many links. But I will share it anyway… “The Russian missile that destroyed the children’s hospital ‘Okhmatdyt’ is based on Western components,” writes “Economic Pravda” today (https://www.epravda.com.ua/news/2024/07/10/716436/), citing an article from the Financial Times. “Two components were labeled as manufactured by the Swiss company STMicroelectronics, headquartered in Switzerland, and the rest by […]

Russian propaganda continues to frantically repeat the fake news that the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv was hit by an AIM-120A missile launched from NASAMS. Moreover, they do this using a retouched still snap from a video that captured a targeted strike by a Russian Kh-101/555 missile. Sergiy Kyslytsya predicted that at the UN Security Council, Russian representatives will be […]

Top “peacemakers”: Turkey – 2nd in sea imports of Russian bloody crude oil in May 2024 and absolute world champion in sea imports of Russian petroleum products. Andrii Klymenko investigates. In May 2024, Turkey imported – according to our own monitoring – 2.5 million tons of crude oil: from Russian ports of the Baltic Sea (2.1 million tons) and the […]

Maria Zakharova’s statement about the destruction of the Kyiv HPP and the Kaniv reservoir is not simply about blackmail. Of course, the first thought that comes to mind is that the occupiers are preparing for a large-scale strike on these facilities and are trying to absolve themselves of guilt for the crime committed by such statements in advance. But we […]

The tone was set by the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who told the White House that the UK gives Ukraine permission to use its Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russia’s territory, military facilities and infrastructure without restriction. The British Prime Minister added that these missiles should be used in accordance with international humanitarian law for defense purposes. “But […]

I explain the difference between a strategic and tactical approach using the example of military FPV drones. Currently, there is a tendency to improve the efficiency of these drones by increasing the range and weight of the ammunition they carry. But this automatically leads to an increase in the size of the drone and its visibility, making it more vulnerable. […]
