Arestovich was neither Zelensky's aide nor a participant in the peace negotiations. He is a blogger and was an unpaid communications advisor to the Office of the President. The Office of the President is the entirety of the Ukrainian federal apparatus working for the President, consisting of...

Safe is not just a matter of the likelihood that the money is frozen. Safe is overwhelmingly about the interest earned balanced to potential risks (from currency fluctuation, crises, etc.). In addition there is the ease and convenience of using the USD and Western financial institutions. The...

The US has already previously seized money from Cuba and Iraq. Additionally even the UN Security Council in 1992 ruled to seize frozen Iraqi oil assets and transfer them to Kuwait to pay for Iraq's invasion, so there's sufficient precedent. Moreover there aren't that many opportunities for...

Fortunately Trump would not be able to take the US out of NATO. Earlier this month Congress signed legislation requiring approval from the House or Senate. https://thehill.com/homenews/4360407-congress-approves-bill-barring-president-withdrawing-nato/ Congress is also the only part of government...

Aid to Ukraine from the US has absolutely slowed down. This is observable both in the size of packages, and in the messaging from Ukrainian officials in public and private. Delivery schedules for aid that has already been allotted and paid for is unchanged. The total size of military packages in...

Actions speak louder than words. Until US Congress passes a new supplemental, aid from the US will be minimal since there is very little money left for allotted spending from the previous supplmenetal. Here are the statistics of US aid by month (in millions of USD): 2022: Feb 350 March...

I would argue it's the other way around. China has a short window of time when it came challenge the US due to demographics. By 2100 US population is expected to increase to 434m, whereas China's is expected to decrease to 600mil. Consider this: China is currently 5x larger than US. By 2100...

Jim Jordan is no longer running for Speaker on Congress after losing the third vote in Congress (with his loss margin increasing each time). This is great news for Ukraine since Jim Jordan was an ally of Trump and opposed to Ukraine aid. The new leading candidate for Speakership is now Tom...

Shaheds are not difficult to shoot down, you can even shoot them down with an AK if you manage to hit them. So protecting from Shaheds over a small area is not difficult with guns similar to the ones used on Gepards, for example.

Yup. You still don't get it: killing civilians is always wrong. Wanna stop with the whataboutism and condemn the murder of innocents now?

Stop excusing the inexcusable. What about this child: https://streamable.com/wdj3l3 - was he a valid target too? What about the civilians shot at the bus station? The civilians whose throats were slit after they were dragged out of their cars? If you're making excuses for these crimes, you're...

Hamas appears to have kidnapped a child no older than 7, and other Palestinian children are beating him. Nobody is going to spend political capital to help Gaza after such footage. Frankly I have trouble seeing what is redeemable in such a society. https://streamable.com/wdj3l3

Of course I'm aware of that, but if you follow the current situation in Congress, even Biden's request for $24 billion in funding was met with opposition and didn't succeed. Republicans are tying aid to Ukraine to border funding and other concessions, and a group of Trumpist Republicans are...

My bad, I didn't realize. If you want, you can delete your post and I'll delete mine to keep this topic clean.

This would be a strange development. Considering US aid to Ukraine has grown politicized and less popular than before, I don't see the Biden administration asking for such a big package at this moment. Yes, the majority both in congress and among the US population continues to support aid to...

Because it shatters the Russian population's understanding of what this war means for them. Being able to strike Russian territory destroys the narrative that Putin is protecting them and this war will not affect ordinary Russians.

This is false. No aid has been announced by the US, nor can aid even theoretically be provided while US Congress is without a Speaker (unless its financing was already previously approved) . Please don't spread fake news.

Anthony Rota has resigned as Speaker of the Canadian House of Representatives over the scandal involving a Ukrainian war veteran from a Nazi unit Anthony Rota resigned after being criticized by the government and the opposition. The decision takes effect from Wednesday, September 27. Recall...

I think this was an exceptionally stupid move from Canada/Ukraine, it looks bad and is completely unnecessary. Regarding Ukrainians who supported Germany in WWII, I'll try to provide some context with stories from my grandmother. She was Jewish and lived in a village somewhere next to Krivoy...
