In 1918, Ukrainian statehood held out, but then fell after just a couple of years. On one side, the Bolsheviks pushed through (experts say it was about a million bayonets). On the other side, the Poles. The Allies supplied them with weapons to fight the Bolsheviks, but those weapons were used to occupy the Ukrainian-inhabited territories of Galicia and Volhynia. There was no international mandate for a military occupation of Ukrainian lands, Ukrainian historian, journalist, and TV host Oleksandr Zinchenko writes.And ...These are not russian lands and this is not just a war between two countries – Portnikov

The idea of the project ‘Ukrainian History: A Global Initiative’ has already caused a lot of controversial comments, especially after one of its main ideologues, Timothy Snyder, presented it primarily as a kind of history of Ukrainian lands since ancient times.

The latest episode of the media-series about the Ukrainian trace in the explosion of the Nord Streams by the Wall Street Journal did not add anything new, except for repeating big names – the President of Ukraine and the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes President of Centre for Global Studies “Strategy XXI” Michael Gonchar.The ongoing “development” of this topic reminds me more and more of Kolchugagate in 2002, when Ukraine was accused of allegedly secretly supplying ...Stop fearing Ukrainian victory.

And the path to peace can also be through war. «Si vis pacem, para bellum» – words attributed to the ancient Roman historian Cornelius Nepos, unfortunately, are ideally suited to a democratic society even today, in the 21st century. If you want peace, prepare for war. Yes, this is absolutely true. This is confirmed by me, who had to be in the role of ...Ukrainian journalists categorically condemn the wave of pressure, slander, and threats received by independent Ukrainian media Texty.org.ua
