As the United States marks 250 years of independence, Kyiv and European capitals are watching the celebration with a mix of admiration and alarm. What they see in America's jubilee says as much about the state of the West as about 1776.

The price of normalizing Russia

A ceasefire will not change the essence of the regime in Moscow. Only time will show if European leaders remain as resolute about not returning to business as usual as they are today. As economic uncertainty deepens globally, pragmatism may increasingly overshadow humanitarian concerns.

A two-way road to Ukraine’s EU integration

What happens when long-held myths about Ukraine and the European Union are shattered by war, propaganda, and shared vulnerability? In a world drifting toward new bipolar rivalries, Ukraine’s EU integration is no longer only a question of enlargement, but a test of whether Europe can remain sovereign, secure, and strategically relevant.

How Ukraine is reshaping NATO

Ukraine is no longer just a recipient of NATO support, it is increasingly reshaping the Alliance itself.

The battle for Ukrainian identity

Russia’s war against Ukraine is being fought not only on the battlefield, but also in museums, archives and cultural institutions struggling to preserve the country’s historical and cultural memory. From the ruins of Mariupol to diaspora institutions in New York, a growing network of historians, archivists and cultural workers is documenting destruction while resisting the erasure of Ukraine’s past.

High in the mountains: Hutsuls have played an outsized role in Ukrainian history despite their small numbers

Understanding this small ethnic group in the Carpathian Mountains is essential to understanding Ukraine. While the rich culture of the Hutsuls has inspired many artists throughout the centuries, their contribution to their country in a time of war is also clear to see.

The politics of reforming Ukraine’s wartime lifeline

Ukraine has a unitary railway system. The state-owned company, Ukrzaliznytsia, has a monopoly on the railways and operates passenger and freight services. This means competition is virtually non-existent. Such a model is not accepted in the European Union.

Ballots under fire. Elections during war?

Consensus in Ukraine is that in order to hold elections, a ceasefire would first be necessary. Yet even if a genuine ceasefire were secured, urgent questions would follow. Ukraine thus faces a dilemma few modern democracies have encountered on such a scale: how to safeguard the integrity of elections while fighting for the state’s very survival.
