Beyond the deal: The achievable path to Ukrainian victory

One of the key strategic questions of the current war amounts to is this war winnable? Experts are increasingly saying that Russia cannot win. However, can Ukraine win?

Tortured into confession. The plight of Ukrainian prisoners of war

A Ukrainian soldier from the 108th Separate Mountain Assault Battalion was tortured in Russian captivity to make him confess to the murder of a civilian in court. This is how the Russian Investigative Committee fabricated the case.

Towards a new world disorder?

The post–Second World War international order appears to be nearing its end. It is increasingly being replaced by a system that openly presents itself as non-liberal, if not outrightly anti-liberal. Should this emerging (dis)order remain nominally rules-based, its rules will differ fundamentally from those established after 1945. They may simply reflect the shifting whims of powerful leaders rather than stable and broadly accepted norms of conduct.

Ukraine’s post-war labour dilemma: Who will fill the jobs?

Discussions are beginning to grow with regards to the shape of Ukraine following the end of Russia’s current invasion. This is particularly true regarding the economy, as well as the labour force that will power reconstruction.

The challenge for Ukrainian veterans returning to civilian life

Going to the front line is a challenge. Leaving it is another. For Ukrainian veterans, returning to civilian life is a painful process. After the war, Ukraine will have to reintegrate more than two million former soldiers.

Relabelling paintings, reclaiming history

Throughout much of history, Ukrainian artists or those with some connection to the country have frequently been labelled as “Russian”, when in reality their identities were far more complex. Spurred on by Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian art historians and cultural NGOs are attempting to change these narratives. But setting the record straight is not as simple as it seems.

Double exclusion. How is it to be a queer migrant from Eastern Europe in Poland today?

LGBTQ+ rights in Belarus and Ukraine have remained static for years. The fear of coming out persists, both in one's home country and now within the diaspora abroad. Many queer migrants hide their sexuality, citing political or economic reasons for moving. Although Poland still has a long way to go, its relative openness, access to EU anti-discrimination frameworks and integration into European institutional life create better conditions for social progress and visibility.

Russia’s imitation game

As Russian aggression against Ukraine continues, it is important to understand what constraints might exist regarding Moscow’s behaviour. While vested interests remain supportive of the war effort, the country’s economy remains a key weak point. Targeted efforts to take advantage of this reality could make all the difference in 2026.

Does the meeting between Zelenskyy and Tsikhanouskaya mark the beginning of a new approach towards Belarus?

Connections between Kyiv and the democratic forces of Belarus have for a long time remained mired in uncertainty. However, this could well change following a high-profile meeting in Lithuania, with the shared goals of both sides potentially resulting in greater cooperation in the future.

The Kremlin’s poker face

The logic underpinning the hand that Moscow picks for itself can only lead in certain directions. With de-escalation seen as a loss in and of itself, it is only logical for the Kremlin to continue an escalatory approach in 2026.
