Are peace talks with Ukraine now possible? “What kind of negotiations can we even talk about with people who indiscriminately strike at civilians, at civilian infrastructure, or try to create threats to nuclear power facilities? What can we even talk about with them?” — these words of the Russian president gave the patriotic part of […]

16 years ago, on August 8, 2008, Russia also found itself under attack. Georgia, backed by NATO and Israeli instructors, attacked Russia-friendly South Ossetia and killed Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali. Russia’s response was devastating and swift, the Georgian punitive forces were not spared and few were taken prisoner. Four days later, Russian tanks were 40 […]

How the remnants of the US foreign policy establishment are trying to convince everyone that they can be negotiated with. Let me begin this discussion by referring to an article in Politico with the headline “Ukraine Can Breathe a Sigh of Relief — Whether Trump or Harris Wins.” The subheadline: “Whatever Happens in November, the […]

It doesn’t matter what he said before… Trump, before his first election, also said a lot of things — about Putin, and about improving relations with Russia, and then he took it and replayed everything, and was the first to start supplying weapons to Ukraine, and began to destroy diplomatic relations, and the consulates under […]

Biden totally is crisis to himself. Trump shifts to the political mainstrim on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The Biden-Trump debate is interesting not because the current president has completely disgraced himself, despite all the efforts of advisers, PR people and pharmacists, and thereby buried his re-election prospects. The most curious thing is that Trump, who won […]

Europe voted against the war in Ukraine, says the famous American political analyst David P. Goldman. According to Goldman, while mainstream (i.e., left-liberal) pundits and journalists call the rise of national conservatives in Europe a “knee-jerk response to immigration,” the analysis suggests the opposite: Sunday’s electoral earthquake was a response to voters’ concerns that the […]

Ukrainian politicians fear that returned soldiers will refute stories of torture in Russian captivity. Ukraine has not taken back 500 of its military personnel as part of a prisoner exchange for several months, said Tatyana Moskalkova, Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia. “For several months it has not been possible to get Ukraine to take […]

Transatlantic: British conservative elites are betting on Trump and discussing with him a “radical peace plan for Ukraine.” It is well known that David Cameron, who visited Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in April, tried to convince the former US President to approve an increase in military assistance to Ukraine (then the issue of allocating $61 […]

Monument to the great writer Mikhail Bulgakov, who was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, now stands in Kyiv wrapped in plastic with the words “Get Out the Russian chauvinist from Ukraine.” We asked political observer Alexander Okhrimenko and our author Vladimir Grigoryan to comment on this event. Vladimir Grigoryan: “Bulgakov is a Russian writer. He encroached […]
