In the lights of the recent mass shooting in the Crocus City Hall in Moscow and current official version that it was organised and performed by ISIS, Oldksandr Kovalenko reminds that it was Russia that had a hand in the formation of ISIS, just as it played a key role in the formation of the Taliban. It was the Russians […]

Why do French parties and the media criticize Macron so harshly for his position on Ukraine? They continue to live in the paradigm that someone will liberate them again if necessary, but they do not want to … As it was in the Second World War, they surrendered to Hitler because they were “worried” about the architecture of French cities […]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine “confused the cards” of the United States Biden and not only him, but also the Republicans who have been delaying assistance to Ukraine since October – and this confirmed the agreement with the Kremlin to allow Putin to be “re-elected” in peace… That is, not to supply the Armed Forces with anything before the election… […]

When I found out that 20 Days in Mariupol had won an Oscar, I first thought of one of its characters, police officer Volodymyr. About his endless faith that this movie can change something. At great risk to his own life and the lives of his family, Volodymyr helped Mstyslav Chernov and Evgeniy Maloletka to take the footage out of […]

Ukrainian government has started to sign direct agreements about Ukraine’s security with various countries and is very proud of it. We have already signed agreements with the UK, France, Germany, and Italy. More will probably follow.

Transnistria. Why it is relevant? Because on February 28, a congress will be held in Tiraspol (as it were, the capital of Transnistria), at which they will vote for the appeal to Putin to join them to Russia. How Transnistria was formed A large number of Soviet weapons was stored in this part of Moldova. Besides, the Soviet 14th Guards Army led by General Lebed was deployed there (by the way, his story ended with […]

Europe is ill with infantilism. While France and Germany are signing some “security guarantees” with Ukraine, their own military industry is not ready and is unlikely to be ready for a war with Russia in the near future.  Europe is a very slow thinker, and so are we and so is the entire collective West. As a result, they fall […]

Combined group of rogue states is now at war against Ukraine. Iran has supplied russia with about 400 ballistic missiles, including the Zolfaghar. I’ve been hearing about Iranian Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar ballistic missile deliveries to Russia since October 2022, from different sources, but so far, not a single Iranian-made missile has been used on Ukraine. But that’s “so far.” Indeed, […]

Avdiivka’s defensive operation… Chasiv Yar’s defensive operation… Robotyne’s defensive operation… potentially – Vuhledar’s defensive operation. Thank you, very much appreciate some partners for delays in weapon supply or chronic underfunding! All thanks to you! Now, do you want to repeat the same scheme next year? Have you forgotten World War II? Look, it might be too late. While you discuss […]

In the light of recent events about the promotion of the scandalous draft law on mobilizations, Ukrainian society faces contradictory thoughts and reactions. Here below one of such a kind from a Ukrainian citizen. Will you do a job that involves risking your life if you know in advance that it won’t bring the results you expect? A normal person […]

Malyshev factory, Kharkiv. Tanks. The Malyshev plant had foreign economic contracts in addition to the defense state order. In those days, from 2014 to 2019, the plant very often worked in three shifts, employed new workers, both for labor specialties and for the DB. Young people were happy to go to the DB because of the attractive salary. At the […]
