Ukraine for a just peace!

Ukraine for a just peace! Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's meeting with Donald Trump, despite its tense rhetoric, reaffirmed Ukraine's unwavering stance: peace must be just and cannot entail concessions that would effectively grant Russia an advantage. The Ukrainian leader demonstrated a readiness to engage in negotiations only if Ukraine's sovereignty is preserved and security guarantees are ensured. Zelensky, as the leader of the Ukrainian people, rejected "capitulationist peace agreements" that disregard the interests of the Ukrainian populace and fail to hold the aggressor accountable. Immediately following the unsuccessful conversation with Trump, leading global figures expressed clear support for Zelensky and Ukraine. In their statements, the Presidents of France, Poland, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the necessity of strengthening efforts against Russian aggression and continuing to provide Ukraine with military ...

АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ?

АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ? Как стало известно, 3 сентября запланирован визит российского лидера в Улан-Батор, где он должен принять участие в торжественных мероприятиях по случаю 85-летия совместной победы СССР и Монголии над японскими войсками на реке Халхин-Гол. Также запланирована официальная встреча с президентом Хурэлсухом. Визит Путина в Монголию в Кремле не вызывает «переживаний», несмотря на наличие ордера на его арест, который, по утверждению Международного уголовного суда (МУС) , Улан-Батор обязан выполнить. Примечательно, что Монголия станет первым государством, признающим юрисдикцию МУС, куда Путин намеревается поехать после начала полномасштабного вторжения в Украину. В конце лета 2023 года он отказался от поездки в ЮАР, которая также является страной-подписантом Римского статута. Вместо него тогда в Йоханнесбург, на саммит БРИКС, отправился глава МИД Лавров, а сам же Путин выступил лишь по видеосвязи. Напомним, что 17 марта ...

DOMINATE, KILL AND ATTRACT! (RUSSIA AND ITS ENEMIES)

DOMINATE, KILL AND ATTRACT! (RUSSIA AND ITS ENEMIES) Ukraine is fighting, Ukraine is drowning in an eternal war with Russia, and only the Western democratic world can stop this bloody destruction of the Ukrainian people, people, and children. Moscow does not stop and destroys peaceful cities and villages with its bombs and missiles, destroys residential buildings, hospitals where there is no military personnel. In fact, this confrontation between barbaric Russians and Ukrainians has been going on for hundreds of years. Barbarians, Russians, bloody murderers brutally and hatefully beat their enemies. This war is now open, but it is also secret, because Moscow does not stop and kills everyone who poses a threat to it. This was the case, for example, in a small town in Great Britain in Saltsbury, when Russian FSB agents tried to kill Mr. Skripal. Muscovites use the same tactics to kill those Ukrainians who pose a threat to Russia. Such was the demo...

NATO SUMMIT KEY TO EUROPE'S SECURITY AND SUPPORT OF UKRAINE

NATO SUMMIT KEY TO EUROPE'S SECURITY AND SUPPORT OF UKRAINE The NATO summit, which will be held in Washington, promises to be a decisive event in the field of international relations, because the participants of the summit have to solve important issues that directly affect the security of the EU and the whole world, taking into account the aggressive policy of Russia led by Putin. One of the key issues that will arise at the summit is the development of asymmetric countermeasures against Russia, which has become the biggest threat to world security. This approach opens up an opportunity for NATO to adapt its policy and increase assistance to Ukraine. The Russian invasion of Ukraine remains one of the main global problems and NATO allies have an opportunity to demonstrate their unity in confronting the Russian imperial threat. Recognizing Russia as the main threat will also help unite the efforts of the international community in providin...

Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers

Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers By: Sofi Beridze Nika Chitadze Abstract The article elaborates upon and analyzes the notion of nuclear weapons non-proliferation and clarifies its importance. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that total nuclear disarmament in contemporary competitive international politics is almost unattainable due to various factors. Initially, some countries that possess nuclear weapons strive to preserve their dominant position in the international arena, that’s why complete disarmament is impossible, and leading powers utilize them for their self-defense. Therefore, it’s out of the question to abandon ownership of them. The paper seeks to demonstrate the importance of “hard power” (regarding nuclear weapons) as a main tool for great powers to preserve preference. We mean maintaining power and primacy as much as they can, compared to other countries. In this article, it is determined whether nuclea...
