By canceling military aid to 🇺🇦 Trump doesn’t make peace any closer. It’s not even a blackmailing but rather conscious pressure on UA to capitulate to RU’s demands, after which Trump can “declare” “peace”. He can’t make a good deal now, and defines UA as “guilty” for this

If a ceasefire, then temporary and partial - how Ukraine is going to respond to US pressure within talks in Saudi Arabia. Here is the link to my interview for Al Jazeera English mediaview.aljazeera.com/video/XpWwOhBy…

Successful mood today in Saudi Arabia from Ukraine. Really wise to agree to temporary (30days) ceasefire -IF Russia will comply too. And now RU has to respond to Trump whether they take this or not

So glad that regional security in Europe, NATO’s role particularly, is being seriously discussed by colleagues in Qatar. Really thoughtful discussion was organized by Global Institute for Strategic Research! Looking forward to new opportunities for mutual discussions!

US strikes on Iran have shown clearly, that Donald J. Trump is seeking for quick „loud” political dividends to his image of great leader of America „being made great again”. However, long term strategic repercussion are underestimated. And the most striking here is lack of any

Trump’s Quest for Glory Risks Igniting a Broader Regional Firestorm Donald Trump is chasing spectacle — in every sense of the word. He’s hungry for quick political wins that could cement his image as the “great” leader of a “great” America. But the tools he’s willing to use in

For Ukraine, this shift of US towards Iran in focus could hardly be worse. Having failed to claim glory on the Russia-Ukraine front, Trump is unlikely to invest serious effort in even reducing the intensity of fighting there. Worse still, a normalization of U.S.-Russia relations

Just guess which country has published this official reaction to the US airstrikes on Iran and compare this reaction with this country's own actions: "This reckless decision to launch missile and aerial strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, regardless of the

As many know and much more don’t know, I have been actively working on promoting links between Ukrainian and European expert perspective, on the one hand, and Middle East perspective, on the other. For this reason I gladly accept invitations to speak for the audience well beyond

Only joint production. And preferably - locally in Ukraine. This is absurd to produce smth far away with no understating what must be improved immediately. Drones must be improved/developed and adjusted to RU’s technological capacities every 2 month.

This is map of just this night air attack on Ukraine with routes of Shached drones, cruise missiles, Kindzhal and Iskander missiles. To check NATO’s response Russia doesn’t need to send troops anywhere, 1000 Shached drones at once will be enough to challenge Alliance

Ukraine and Europe must accept that US are not strategic ally for us anymore. Sure, leaders and diplomats will still maintain relations with Trump and will try to keep him on board, but this doesn’t change the reality: European security, part of which is Ukraine and its survival,
