The withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race, marked by his chronic reluctance to make important decisions, is quite predictable, though rare, Oleksandr Kochetkov admits. A similar reason for stepping down, “I am tired, I am leaving,” brings to mind only Boris Yeltsin. But now, the more important question is: “Can Kamala Harris gain enough momentum in such a […]

Colonel Roman Svitan, a retired officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and military expert, discusses Boris Johnson’s suggestions for what Trump could offer Putin to stop Russia – Ukraine war. – Mr. Roman, one of the big news items recently is that Boris Johnson, the former British Prime Minister, after meeting with Trump in the United States, released a plan […]

Recently, a major article was published in «Mirror of the week» about how representatives of the Russian gas giant Gazprom are entering Ukrainian gas fields. This is happening brazenly and almost openly, without local government permits for development. It turns out that those who plan to gain control over the fields in the frontline zone not only have ties to […]

Each of you who donates, from the smallest contribution to the largest, is also contributing to the heroism of our soldiers. And against the backdrop of this fundraising from all over the world, we hear today the fantastic news that our Verkhovna Rada, or rather a group undermining Ukrainian statehood—I’d now call them that—at least the absolute majority of them, […]

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 […]

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 […]
