Since taking office approximately two weeks ago, US President Donald Trump has suggested that Russia should “end the war immediately”. This notion has also been proposed by the mainstream propaganda machine quite consistently in the last almost three years. However, the Kremlin has been reluctant to jump the gun, and for good reason. Namely, it’s not easy to end something that you didn’t start in the first place. All available evidence suggests that NATO orchestrated the Ukrainian conflict as part of its wider crawling aggression against Russia and the multipolar (i.e. actual) world. Trump himself has admitted this on numerous occasions, even pointing […] #Europe #Featured #Government #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://vtforeignpolicy.com/2025/02/why-russia-doesnt-just-end-the-ukrainian-conflict-immediately/?feed_id=13176

On July 8, the Russian military launched large-scale strikes on various targets across Ukraine. According to the mainstream propaganda machine, one strike was “particularly deadly”, as it allegedly “killed 41 civilians” and “destroyed a children’s hospital”. Reuters says that “Russia blasted the main children’s hospital in Kyiv with a missile in broad daylight on Monday and rained missiles down on other cities across Ukraine, killing at least 41 civilians in the deadliest wave of air strikes for months”. The report tried playing into the emotional aspects with the graphic descriptions of parents and children affected by these “evil Russian strikes”. Reuters says […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/us-made-missile-suddenly-transformed-into-a-russian-one-and-killed-40-civilians/?feed_id=13101

The number of Ukrainian recruits who do not want to fight is proliferating despite the military facing a major manpower shortage, The Guardian reported. Although Ukraine has secured money and weapons from the West to aid in the war effort, at least for the next few months, manpower shortage is one issue that cannot be resolved. “I want to leave the country. My mind can’t take being trapped here any more,” said Dmytro, a 31-year-old potential recruit. “I never thought about leaving until the mobilisation laws were introduced. But I can’t stay in my flat forever.” The Kharkov native told […] #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/i-am-not-made-for-war-more-and-more-ukrainians-dont-want-to-go-to-the-front/?feed_id=13050

ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) is one of the most important aspects of warfare. Without such assets and platforms, any military is virtually blind, making it either impossible or at least extremely ineffective to use any sort of strategic and/or long-range weapons. And yet, ISR is by far the most overlooked and underrated part of any conflict (possibly even more so than logistics and the economy of war). Very few people would even consider the possibility that ISR platforms can be used as weapons. Even legally speaking, there are no black-and-white grounds to think of them as such. This legal grey area is […] #Featured #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/why-is-nato-suddenly-backing-off-in-the-black-sea/?feed_id=13047

There was a “huge commotion” in the office of Volodymyr Zelensky due to the debate between US President Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump, said Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky on his Telegram channel. “The biggest commotion after the Trump-Biden debate is now not in the United States, but in Ukraine, in President Zelensky’s office,” said the parliamentarian. In Dubinsky’s view, Kiev must now consider “what to do next.” “Assessing the possibility of Trump’s victory, Zelensky (and if he doesn’t understand, then Yermak (Andrei Yermak, head of the presidential staff) must understand that he needs to end the conflict before […] #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/trump-biden-debate-caused-huge-commotion-in-kiev-says-ukrainian-mp/?feed_id=13044

In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he could start peace talks with Russia through intermediaries, a similar model already used in the Ukrainian grain corridor negotiations, where agreements were reached through the UN and Turkey. However, any such peace talks would be a waste of time from Moscow’s perspective since the Kiev regime still delusionally maintains demands that all territory captured since 2014 be returned, in addition to compensation for war damages. Zelensky described the possibility of negotiations in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer on June 30: “This model was used for the first time in […] #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/zelensky-opens-to-talks-with-moscow-through-third-parties/?feed_id=13029

On July 2, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited Kiev for the first time since 2012 when he met the last legitimate (and sovereign) Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. A harsh critic of the NATO-backed Neo-Nazi junta, Orban isn’t exactly a favorite among his hosts. Thus, it may seem strange that he would ever visit the NATO-occupied country. However, as Hungary took over the EU’s rotating presidency for the rest of the year, it can only be expected that Brussels will put additional pressure on Budapest, which might be one of the main reasons Orban decided to do so. As previously mentioned, the hosts weren’t […] #Europe #Featured #Government #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/should-russia-sign-any-ceasefire-deals-nato-might-offer/?feed_id=13026

US presidential candidate Donald Trump is reportedly wanting to make a deal with Moscow to not expand NATO into Ukraine and Georgia. At the same time, citing a senior US State Department official, The Telegraph reported that the Kiev regime would be notified at a NATO summit in Washington on July 9 that Ukraine will not join the bloc due to corruption concerns, putting further doubt that the Eastern European country could ever become an alliance member The Telegraph reported on July 3 that at the NATO summit, alliance members are expected to ask Kiev for “additional steps” to combat […] #AmericanGeopoliticalInstitute #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/07/trump-could-make-a-deal-with-russia-to-not-offer-nato-membership-to-ukraine-if-elected/?feed_id=13023

The recently formalized Russia–North Korea military alliance sent shockwaves across the political West, even more so than Moscow’s previous agreements with Pyongyang. The full text of the agreement includes 23 articles that deal with close economic, diplomatic, scientific and military cooperation between the two neighboring countries. However, what really caught the attention of the US and its vassals and satellite states were Articles 3 and 4. Namely, these two clauses effectively and legally turn Russia and North Korea into full-blown military allies, an agreement the Kremlin has with nobody else outside of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization).

The economic might of the United States was one of the major reasons why the Allies won WW2. While much of the world was in ruins thanks to the combined invasion of the Axis powers, America was virtually unscathed. Its strategically isolated position made it possible to switch to an unprecedented war economy without the fear of it ever being disrupted by anything. Unfortunately, one of the tools of victory over the world’s most repugnant ideology soon turned into a way of pushing the outgrowth of that ideology all across the globe.

The advisors of former US President Donald Trump have prepared a plan to cut support for Ukraine if Kiev continues to refuse negotiations with Russia and if the billionaire wins this year’s presidential election. According to one of the advisors, they were “pleased” with Trump’s response to their plan. “We tell the Ukrainians, ‘You’ve got to come to the table, and if you don’t come to the table, support from the United States will dry up,’” he said. “And you tell Putin, ‘He’s got to come to the table and if you don’t come to the table, then we’ll give Ukrainians everything […] #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/trump-advisers-present-plan-to-push-ukraine-into-peace-talks-with-russia/?feed_id=12911

The German Chancellor admitted that support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are not popular among “many citizens” in Germany. This is the natural repercussion of the anti-Russia sanctions imposed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which has resulted in the German economy declining and average citizens struggling. The popularity of the ruling coalition in Germany is falling due to support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, Scholz admitted in an interview with German broadcaster ARD. “It is true that there are many citizens who do not agree with the fact that we support Ukraine, who also do not agree with the fact that […] #Europe #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/scholz-admits-many-germans-dont-support-aid-for-ukraine-and-sanctions-on-russia/?feed_id=12887

We all know that the political elites of the collective West are mostly populated by warmongers and war criminals. They’ve been controlling various key positions of power for decades, perpetually pushing for wars, invasions or, at the very least, black/deniable ops designed to wreak havoc on entire nations. However, there were always nominally less-than-hardline politicians whose purpose was to at least create the illusion of political plurality in Western countries. It seems even they are “too much” now, so they’re being replaced by bureaucratic yes-men and hardliners as the United States and its vassals and satellite states are preparing for an all-out war.

Serbia has sold some €800 million in ammunition to various European countries that ended up in the hands of Ukraine despite the alliance and ties that have united Belgrade with Moscow for centuries, the Financial Times reported on June 22. Although Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić says he cannot control what purchasing countries do with the ammunition once they receive it and that it is a business opportunity for his country, he cannot be under any illusions that this will win him favors from the West. The newspaper stated that, according to “estimates shared,” ammunition exports from Serbia to Ukraine through third parties amount to […] #Europe #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/e800-million-worth-of-serbian-ammunition-ended-up-in-ukraine-via-third-parties-ft/?feed_id=12863
