The Russian regime can only voluntarily end such a large-scale conflict as the war in Ukraine with a victory. But what exactly counts as a victory—capturing another Donbas district center, reaching the borders of the «new regions,» or the public execution of Zelensky—after almost 1,400 days of carnage, the Kremlin and Ostankino still haven’t decided.

US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia for the first time since the beginning of his second term. Following him, the EU approved the 19th package of sanctions. This is not yet a full embargo, but already a joint policy of «coercion to peace.»

In the event of a shutdown, government agencies stop receiving funding, civil servants do not get paid, and consequently, most government institutions in the country cease to operate, except for those vital to life. The last time such an event occurred was six years ago—during Donald Trump's first presidential term.

Another round of conflict in the Middle East drags on: Israel is losing allies and facing new accusations. Can a new initiative from Donald Trump bring the country an honorable peace in this context? How justified are the criticisms leveled against the Jewish state—genocide, occupation, and colonization of Palestinian lands? And does the State of Palestine even exist, as Western countries have been recognizing it one after another recently? On the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, we try to understand this with Marianna Belenkaya, a journalist and Middle East expert, author of the Telegram channel «Falafelnaya.»

The war in Ukraine and the related increase in military spending in Europe, inevitably accelerating inflation, are leading to anti-migrant sentiments and, consequently, to the growing popularity of the far-right in several European countries. In Germany, according to the latest August public opinion poll, the rating of the right-wing populist and pro-Russian party «Alternative for Germany» reached 26% (the ruling Christian Democratic Union is in second place with 24%). Meanwhile, Russian drones have started entering NATO countries. We discussed the situation in Europe with sociologist Igor Eidman (the Russian Ministry of Justice considers him a foreign agent).

Although the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of speech and the press, is still in effect in the USA and protects hundreds of prestigious editorial offices and thousands of talented journalists working in them, for some reason millions of Americans prefer to entrust their information services to very strange people. People who are either directly affiliated with a certain political movement and don’t even try to hide it, or simply lack any expertise in the matters in which citizens with the right to vote listen to them.

Rosneft has made significant investments in India and does not want to lose them. ExxonMobil has invested just as heavily in Sakhalin-1 and is equally unwilling to lose its stake. India has stakes in Sakhalin-1 and also earns good profits from Rosneft’s investments in the country, and it too is reluctant to lose all this. The only ones spoiling the situation are two people: Trump, who wants to end the war by any means, and Putin, who does not want to stop it. And who better than Sechin to try to solve this puzzle?

The Trump administration is revising its approach to human rights assessments, excluding mentions of abuses in countries it does not wish to criticize excessively from its annual reports. Thus, in Russia, persecution of LGBT people and violence against women are no longer mandatory topics for coverage.

The American side is not going to make any concessions, at least according to the statements made. The EU pays for everything, receiving nothing in return. But this is not the only oddity of the deal, if we use Trump's terminology.

The political confrontation in the United States is intensifying. The current president of the country has accused one of his predecessors of treason over the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election (the so-called «Russiagate»).

This coming Saturday, Russia may wake up to a new reality. Or not, if Trump, contrary to his promise, does not impose sanctions on countries buying Russian oil, gas, and uranium.

Since early 2022, thousands of opponents of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have tried to seek asylum in the US — only to face tightening immigration policies. With Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, those who hadn’t secured legal status in previous years found themselves in direct danger. Since early 2025, US authorities have deported two activists to Russia — Vladimir Mashinin and Leonid Melekhin. The first managed to escape; the second was placed in pre-trial detention last week for two months due to anti-war statements made in previous years. Julia Nikolaeva, a US immigration lawyer of Russian origin practicing in San Francisco for 15 years, confirms that the situation for asylum seekers in the States has significantly worsened, as has the overall attitude of authorities toward foreigners. We spoke with her about this.

The eighteenth EU sanctions package is, as usual, mocked by Russian officials for its ineffectiveness. However, public skepticism is accompanied by rather active moves from the Kremlin. Is this just a coincidence? It seems not.

U.S. President Donald Trump finally announced his «surprise for Russia.» The most important thing – there is no threat of 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil without helping Ukraine. There is a 100% tariff on trade with Russia – and even that with a delay. On this news, the Moscow Exchange index happily soared. But in reality, there is nothing to celebrate.

It is clear that the main strategic direction of the EU (in alliance with the United Kingdom) today must primarily focus on achieving autonomy in the field of security. This means arms production, training capable armies, and creating new command centers, either within NATO or alongside it – while simultaneously maintaining political and economic stability in Europe. Altogether, this represents a complex challenge, as European citizens wish to continue living peacefully, enjoying numerous social guarantees without giving up their accustomed way of life.

Recently, Republican Senator from Utah Mike Lee introduced a bill to withdraw the USA from NATO, calling it the «Unreliable Organization Act.» This came immediately after the two-day Alliance summit in The Hague. Mike Lee stated that «NATO has fulfilled its role» and accused the European members of the organization of «making American taxpayers pay their bills for decades.»

In the last election, Robert Kennedy Jr. was one of the candidates for US president but then withdrew his candidacy, supporting Donald Trump. Even then, he established himself as an anti-vaxxer, HIV dissident, and conspiracy theorist. It is clear that, as health secretary, he is unlikely to influence America’s foreign policy. However, his unscientific theories can cause serious harm not only to the development of new drugs and vaccines but also to the use of existing ones, which will directly affect the health of Americans.

The question of the US entering Israel’s war with Iran remains the main topic on the agenda today. On June 12, the White House officially stated that the United States «is taking a defensive stance» and does not plan to intervene in the fighting for now. Meanwhile, American President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded that both sides «make a deal,» and recently insisted on Israel’s unconditional surrender. ‍

The whole world is watching the feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The businessman criticized the president’s new tax bill, which Trump calls the «Big Beautiful Bill.» Musk dislikes that it increases the U.S. national debt and also removes tax breaks and subsidies for electric vehicle manufacturers. The rift escalated to the point where Musk hinted that Trump might be involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia and sexual coercion case (though he soon deleted those posts). In response, Trump threatened to cancel government support and terminate contracts with Musk’s companies. Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and others have received at least $38 billion from the government over 20 years.
