The plight of Ukraine is rapidly slipping through US President Donald Trump’s fingers with dangerous signals to a bleak future for the embattled nation and its leader Volodymyr Zelensky. The ominous signs do not shield Europe from the brewing storm either. Two public statements on Ukraine by the Trump administration this week point to a […]
FROM MOSCOW TO THE SAHEL: UKRAINE’S ALLEGED USE OF TERRORIST TACTICS TO ATTAIN POLITICAL OBJECTIVES

On February 6, 2026, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, a senior official in the Russian Ministry of Defense, was shot in Moscow. He received at least three gunshot wounds and remains in serious condition due to major blood loss. Alekseev is deputy to Igor Kostyukov, the head of Russia’s delegation at the current trilateral negotiations in […]
UKRAINE’S ZELENSKY SHOULD STOP BEING MISLED BY EU’S WAR-MONGERS

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seems to be caught between a rock and hard place. Publicly, he repeatedly calls for the war to end – immediately. However, methinks his biggest fault-line can be traced in his insistence that the war in Ukraine, which broke out in 2022 at the height of significant geopolitical differences between Moscow […]
THE ELEPHANT IS STILL IN THE ROOM

Every day brings a new headline seemingly designed to jolt the public into a state of permanent alarm: ICE shootings and new discussions with Minnesota officials, the USA’s “big armada” parked off Iran, a self-anointed American regency over Gaza, and a homely form of totalitarianism that could be called “apple pie fascism.” The tumult is real. But it […]
ZELENSKY’S PRAISE FOR MADURO’S KIDNAPPING MUST TEACH SA TO CHOOSE ALLIES WISELY

As most of the international community paused in “shock and awe” of the US whilst staging a brazen military attack on Venezuela – kidnapping and whisking away the country’s president and his wife to a detention centre far away in New York – some celebrated the cowboy drama as a lesson for adversaries. Among the […]
EU’S THREAT TO CHANNEL RUSSIA’S FROZEN ASSETS TO UKRAINE WILL BE ILLEGAL IN INTERNATIONAL LAW

Europe stands divided over the bloc’s relentless pursuit of Russophobia. At issue is what to do with frozen Russian assets as part of punishment to Moscow’s “Special Military Operation” the West describes as “invasion of Ukraine”. President Donald Trump of the US has invested enormous amount of effort in his expressed endeavour to broker a […]
RESPONSE OF THE WEST TO UKRAINE’S FINANCIAL SCANDAL IS SHOCKING

The apathetic response from the West about the ensuing revelation of widespread corruption in the Ukraine’s Zelensky administration beggars the question: When is corruption permissible, and contemptuous? Ukraine stands at the centre of a massive financial scandal totalling millions of US dollars. Seemingly taking advantage of the war economy Timur Mindich, a former associate of […]
AFTER GAZA PEACE DEAL, NOW TRUMP EYES UKRAINE

Right on the immediate aftermath of the fragile Gaza peace deal, US President Donald Trump appears set to keep his momentum, hinting at pulling off a spectacularly similar deal in Ukraine. At the behest of the Kremlin, Trump held a two-and-half hour telephone meeting with his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin. They discussed several key […]
THE DETERIORATING US-EU RELATIONS HERALDS THE DAWN OF A NEW INTERNATIONAL WORLD ORDER

The flurry of geopolitical activities, and the turbo-charged speed at which the reconfiguration of the international world order is taking place, signals the demise of Europe as a sphere of significant influence in world politics. In the same vein, the rapid changes in international relations are characterized by the reawakening of the Global South as […]
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE BERING STRAIT TUNNEL?

The logic of conflict seems to have taken on a life of its own. Zelensky and his European zombie friends continue to crow that Ukraine will be victorious, that no territorial concessions are on the table for a peace agreement with Russia. The world watches in agony and impotence as the State of Israel continues […]
SECURITY FOR ALL HUMANITY: DEVELOPMENT IS THE SUBSTANCE OF PEACE

On Monday, August 18th, President Donald Trump hosted acting Ukrainian President Zelensky and seven European leaders at the White House for a series of meetings on ending the conflict in Ukraine, following up on his Alaska summit last Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a statement following the discussions, Trump reported two primary outcomes of those […]
ZELENSKY COMPULSIVELY SQUARES OFF AGAINST TRUMP OVER LAND BORDERS, CEASEFIRE

Today in Brussels, Ukraine acting President Volodymyr Zelensky met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, after which they gave a press conference.
