In the early hours of Sunday morning, Russia launched its largest air attack on Ukraine to date, including over 800 drones and 13 ballistic missiles. Cities across the country came under fire, and a government building in Kyiv was damaged. Officials in Europe and theUnited States were quick to condemn the attacks as evidence that Vladimir Putin is not serious about ending Russia’s nearly four-year conflict with Ukraine. They are right. Putin is not yet ready to stop fighting. And why would ...| Responsible Statecraft
Over the weekend, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that Europe had developed “pretty precise plans” for military deployments to guarantee Ukraine’s security after a peace deal. “We have a clear road map,” von der Leyen told the Financial Times. “This work is going forward very well.” Other European leaders appear to disagree. On Monday, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said it was “fundamentally wrong” to discuss troop deployments to Ukrain...| Responsible Statecraft

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs.

The global political stage has been set ablaze by an exchange between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former U.S. President Donald Trump, and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. The dispute, rooted in U.S. aid to Ukraine and the broader war effort against Russia, highlights the contradictions within American imperialism and the opportunism of its political actors.
