If Ukraine has no choice but to accept “de facto” occupation — that’s because WE failed. Not because Ukrainians failed, not because some mysterious “shit happened”, but because for years we ignored all the warnings, repeated all the mistakes of history, kicked the can down the road and refused to do what it takes to defend the rules and principles that enable sustainable peace and prosperity. This is on us, the former foreign minister of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis, writes.We are ...Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons at America’s request. Now they want us to pay for the Nobel Prize for the US President with our sovereignty – Ariev

Everything that is happening now is just the realization of Trump’s dream to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The cessation of the russian war against Ukraine, according to the US president, should become the last argument for the Nobel Committee. After the solemn signing of peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia or the story of the conflict between India and Pakistan, the compatibility of Trump and the Nobel no longer looks like nonsense, Ukrainian MP Volodymyr Ariev writes.But this prize will be at ...While russia pleads for empathy for its artists and plays the “victim” card, it bombs, silences, and kills Ukrainian artists – Andreas Scholl

Mariupol Drama Theater destroyed by russian airstrikeShould we boycott russian artists? Is there truth to the kremlin’s claim of “Russophobia”? Is russia being unfairly excluded from the international arts scene? These are complex questions that must be considered in context.

Do you know what is radio electronic warfare (REW) or GPS spoofing? No, you don’t know what it is. I also thought I knew. But in Romania and Germany there are people who know how and use it. It’s not just banal concentration lines. Several stations were involved in this case, including in the occupied territories of Crimea and the Kherson region, the co-founder and chief editor of the web portal blackseanews.net Andrii Klymenko wrote.Why?

What else is there to do?!, the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya writes.“Horses are not guilty” (Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, 1912). This saying about horses is actually about a hypocritical unwillingness to see the real culprits, to remove the blame from the guilty.Today, I will propose to the departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that deal with UN issues to clarify our approaches to ...How do sanctions affect hundreds of tankers transporting russian oil?

26.03.2025
Let’s be clear: Ukrainians will never surrender. The scale of resistance among our active population is an order of magnitude greater than, for example, the resistance in France during World War II.
