As rasputitsa winds down, rumors of Russian offensives are gaining strength. In a new interview with LB.UA, Ukrainian C-in-C Syrsky has made a number of interesting statements. The first being that the Russian offensive on the Sumy and Kharkov regions has “already begun”:
This report is not a finalized set of provisions in the field of humanities and, above all, political science and international relations, but a critical theory that is built on the analysis and long-term observation of the system of international relations with its contradictions, internal conflicts and imperfections that are inherent in any human communities. We can say that this theory, that is, speculative judgment, is tested and respected listeners in your person can draw conclusions on this matter, express their comments and constructive suggestions. Perhaps the subsequent discussions will help to outline additional paths and identify those levels that should be worked out in more detail to finally put points on the “and” and the proposed theoretical model would help to move along the path to a more equitable multipolar world order.
In today’s summary:
Ukrainian troops attempted to break through to the Belgorod region on a small section of the border in the Krasnoyarsk region
Ukrainian Armed Forces units retreated from the regional center of Sudzha – the former Kursk bridgehead was reduced to approximately 100 sq. km
Near Pokrovsk, Ukrainian troops have already recaptured five settlements during “stabilization” measures
The Russian Armed Forces have launched an offensive in the Zaporizhzhya direction west of Orekhovo – so far the actions are tactical in nature
Russian military created another local bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol River north of Kupyansk
The first combat use of the Ukrainian long-range missile “Long Neptune” took place – probably at the oil refinery in Tuapse
In the structure of losses of equipment of the Russian Armed Forces, the share of various unarmored vehicles has grown to 85%
The Insider has released an article reviewing American military aid to Ukraine and its importance for the continuation of the war
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has resulted in nearly $300 billion in expenditures, over 150,000 lives lost, and the displacement of more than 10 million people, as reported by The Washington Post. While the war is framed around a simple ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ to Ukraine’s NATO membership, a deeper analysis suggests that the conflict is a strategic battle over maintaining global hegemon status and somewhere for mineral resources, particularly between the United States and Russia. It is also to undermine the silent rise of China’s threat against USA’s unipolar hegemony by stopping the subsequent bandwagoning of countries in Asia and Africa.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, argues that any US-organised peace agreement would have to be accompanied by “security guarantees” from the US to prevent Russia from resuming its offensive in the future.
However, Donald Trump has so far said the US will not commit to sending troops to Ukraine if Russia doesn’t stand by any such deal.
Ukraine’s minerals have become central to global geopolitics, with the US president, Donald Trump, seeking a deal with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky to access them. But what are these minerals exactly and why are they so sought after?
Ukraine is often recognised for its vast agricultural lands and industrial heritage, but beneath its surface lies one of the world’s most remarkable geological formations, the “Ukrainian Shield”.
To secure Ukraine and the continent, European countries must take action that Trump and Putin cannot ignore. This will require making three crucial but divisive choices on how to deploy financial and military capabilities.
There is little more U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration could do to signal that their objectives in Ukraine radically differ from those of Europe. And yet, Europeans continue to be in denial.
Ever wonder why a US president would consistently align with Russian interests for decades? Investigative journalist Craig Unger has spent over ten years untangling the web of connections between Donald Trump, Russian money, and the Kremlin.
Since Trump’s return to office in January 2025, Politico has documented 29 instances where his positions aligned with Putin’s in his first month alone. But according to Unger, this pattern started long before the presidency – in Trump Tower, 1984, with a Russian businessman carrying $6 million in cash.
Transatlantic ties, Russian-US relations, and the nature of American hegemony are all transforming before everyone’s eyes as Trump makes bold moves to force Zelensky to the peace table with Putin.
An unnamed senior Defense Department told the media on Monday evening that Trump decided to freeze all military aid to Ukraine until its leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace. This comes just several days after Zelensky picked his fight with Trump and Vance at the White House. The Wall Street Journal earlier predicted that Ukraine could only continue fighting at its current level till this summer in such a scenario. Here are five takeaways from this monumental development:
La conversation dans le bureau ovale s’est avérée être une rupture d’accord pour l’Ukraine, un embarras et l’expulsion de l’homme politique de Kiev de la Maison-Blanche.
Dans un échange tendu au sommet de la diplomatie de l’alliance occidentale anti-Russie, Zelensky, figure emblématique de la déchéance ukrainienne, voit son statut vaciller face à Trump et Vance. Un choc de quelques minutes a suffi pour bouleverser l’équilibre diplomatique transatlantique et pour couper le dernier espoir de l’Europe des va-t’en guerre.
