Kneeling, standing

The abbreviation UPA refers to the controversial Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a symbol of resistance for many Ukrainians. At the same time, the UPA is also a symbol of the mass killings and ethnic cleansing of Polish civilians in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia during the Second World War.

From a post-Soviet state to a European power

Over the past 15 years, Ukraine has come a long way from a country with a fragile perspective on European integration to a country that has become a symbol of the struggle for European unity. The last five years of this journey have been fundamental not only for Ukraine, as they have encouraged a series of structural changes within Europe.

The Vatican’s unholy circus in Moscow

By speaking of abstract “suffering” and “goodwill”, and avoiding plain language on who invaded whom, the Holy See is effectively giving a papal benediction to the Kremlin's primary talking point: that this is a rather complicated quarrel, not a colonial land-grab. That does nothing to pressure Moscow towards peace, it only reduces its diplomatic isolation and blurs responsibility.

How one concert united Russian-speaking diasporas and homelands in Istanbul

The Belarusian hip-hop star Max Korzh gave his first concert to Belarus and Russia-based fans in a visa-free country, Turkey, since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

How Russia is driving Ukrainians out of occupied territories

Even as the front line in Ukraine has largely stabilized, another, less visible campaign continues behind it.

Nobody’s drone

Romania finds itself operating in a sea increasingly crowded with expendable unmanned systems from both sides of the war. Those that drift into Romanian waters often do so because something has already gone wrong: navigation has failed, communications have been lost, electronic warfare has disrupted control, or the original mission has ended without rendering the weapon harmless. With an unmarked drone, the physical threat may be obvious while responsibility remains contested. That ambiguity and the time it takes to resolve can be politically useful.

Restructuring of the Ukrainian military? What might change under the new army chief Drapatyi

Ukraine’s new head of the armed forces, Mykhailo Drapatyi, faces a number of challenges in his efforts to pursue reform. While the internal structures of the armed forces require increased autonomy, the military still faces a collective need to lead the country’s response to ongoing Russian aggression.

What would a Russian test of NATO actually look like?

The CIA director’s unusual trip to Moscow came amid warnings that Russia could challenge the Alliance without starting another conventional war. Along NATO’s eastern flank, repeated incidents are already revealing how governments respond when Russian intent is difficult to establish.

Middle powers in a ruptured order: Why Poland and Ukraine matter for EU strategic autonomy

Russia’s war against Ukraine, the volatility of Trump-era American foreign policy, the rise of China, and the emergence of assertive authoritarian middle powers have made European strategic autonomy a necessity rather than just an ambitious aspiration. Ukraine and Poland, two Central and Eastern European states whose regional influence has often been underestimated, illustrate how middle powers can shape outcomes once reserved for great powers.
