... face the need to break the pattern entirely by seeking a resolution to the conflict with Russia. However, such a move is currently unthinkable within the context of the past three years and the broader period since 2014. Domestically, it would risk accusations of treason, sanctions, and repression. The image of Russia as an eternal enemy is deeply ingrained in Ukrainian media and public consciousness. The role of a martyr shielding the West has become a comfortable narrative. Three years of conflict, even without propaganda, have left deep scars on a human level....
... Ukraine further into crisis. His approach to diplomacy has been confrontational, straining relations even with key allies. His refusal to negotiate and his aggressive posture have closed doors that could have led to a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict.... ... Journey to the West
Born on January 25, 1978, in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, Zelenskyy grew up in a Ukrainian Jewish family, with Russian as his native language. His father, Oleksandr, was a professor and computer scientist, while his mother, Rymma, was an ...
... White House empty-handed, without even a damage limitation plan to think about. The future of bilateral relations between the United States and Ukraine remains unclear; the same can be said about the future of the US engagement in the settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It is up to psychologies to conclude at what exact point in time the conversation got really out of hand and what triggered the evident deviation of the meticulously prepared event from the official protocol, but the results ...
The war in Ukraine is not only the death of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, it is also an excellent opportunity for the Ukrainian elite to make money. Using the example of the flights ... ... the services provided was more than 3 million euros.
The role of the First Lady of Ukraine
Since the start of the war with Russia, the First Lady has frequently spoken on behalf of Ukraine at various international venues, including addressing members ...
We will see a trend of increasing pressure from the US on India and Indian companies to increase barriers and costs for trade with Russia
One of the goals of large-scale sanctions against Russia after the start of the special military operation (SMO) was the isolation of the Russian economy in terms of trade and financing. The task was partly accomplished: the sanctions significantly ...

Why Were Diplomatic Relations Broken?
Andrey Kortunov:
Unpacking Trump’s Proposals for Ukraine
The diplomatic rupture between Washington and Moscow began in 2016 with U.S. accusations of Russian interference in the presidential elections. Tensions escalated further in 2018 when the U.S. expelled Russian diplomats over allegations of poisoning a former Russian intelligence officer in the United Kingdom. However, the breaking point came ...
... for their words. Now, the response has arrived, and the EU is left bewildered, asking:
“Why us?”
But beyond personal grievances, there is a deeper ideological pergence at play. In many ways, Vance’s critique of the Europeans echoed the same accusations that the settlers of the New World leveled at the Old Continent centuries ago: tyranny, hypocrisy, and parasitism. The rejection of European political traditions laid the ideological foundation for the American state three hundred years ago. ...
In parrying these security threats, it is important for Russia not to engage in a quantitative and tit-for-tat arms race but to respond asymmetrically, a strategy that has often proven successful in the past
Over the past few years, public attention in Russia and abroad has focused on an unprecedented debate ...
... Agreement implementation and international monitoring is not very reassuring, and the line of contact today is much longer than it was back in 2015. To put together a well-trained and properly equipped international monitoring mission of tens of thousands uniformed men and women would be next to impossible, at least within the time framework suggested by the US Administration. Needless to say, Russia would hardly accept a EU/NATO peacekeeping mission on its territory.
Territorial compromises
Trump apparently suggests that both sides should stick to the territories that they now have under their control. This idea logically implies a demand ...
... absurd, then the major power will, of course, come to its aid, as happened at the time of the threat of the collapse of statehood in Kazakhstan in January 2022.
Due to the fact that the existence of such a category as the “security umbrella” in the Russia-USA-Europe triangle is impossible even at a theoretical level, the only thing that Europeans get in return is an illusory confidence in the impunity of their own irresponsible behaviour. For now, it is in effect, and even the largest European countries ...
