With a few remaining months of calm weather in Ukraine, there are talks of offensives on both sides of Russia's war. The Ukrainians are aiming to retake much of the southern, coastal areas seized by the Russians during their initial invasion. The Kremlin is talking about pushing forward with its campaign in the East, looking to control the entire Donbas region. But armies on both sides are more than a little exhausted, in terms of available fighters and weapons. And for the Ukrainians, that's wh...

Life goes on across much of Ukraine, in spite of Russia's ongoing war in the eastern and southern sections of the country. While Ukrainians attempt to adjust to life during a hostile invasion, Russia's war has undoubtedly upended just about every facet of society, including arts and culture. Before the invasion, the Pro English Theater Group in Kyiv was putting on regular performances, building up followers and audiences and trying to make a name for themselves. When war broke out in February it...

While Russia's war in Ukraine is being at least partially blamed for higher gas prices and surging inflation here in the U.S., in Europe the war could be tipping several countries into recessions. Germany and France's economies are showing signs of significant slowing, and countries across the continent are scrambling to make up for a loss of Russia oil and natural gas. In Italy, food banks are being forced to feed ever increasing numbers of people. While Europe struggles, however, Russia someho...

Boris Johnson is prime minister of Great Britain ... not the president of Ukraine. So Johnson's resignation announcement today obviously shouldn't have any intense, direct impact on Ukraine or its war against Russia. However "BoJo" as the Ukrainians took to calling him, was one of the earliest and strongest supporters of Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion. He was also the first head of state to visit Kyiv while the war still raged. Ukraine might not have lost a leader today, but it l...

While the first part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine ended in failure, the Russians are starting to see results from their second act: the scaled down aim of controlling all of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region is getting closer to reality for Russia. Russia is working to secure its gains in the Donbas. Its forces have taken complete control of one of the provinces and are now focusing on one city where the mayor has urged civilians to evacuate as quickly as possible. If Russia succeeds in control...

A lot of attention was paid in the early days of Russia's invasion to the plight of millions of Ukrainians who had to flea their hometowns in advance of Russian forces descending on Kyiv. But once Russia's initial offensive flopped and the focus of the war shifted to the East, the world shifted much of its focus away from Ukrainian refugees. But there are still an estimated 5-million Ukrainians living outside of the country right now, as the war grinds on ... most of them set up temporarily scat...

While Ukraine's defense of the eastern region of its country against Russia's onslaught of artillery and missiles isn't going great, there was one promising development for the beleaguered nation: Ukraine is now one step closer to becoming a member of the European Union. EU leaders granted the country "candidate status," which it also gave to Moldova, another Eastern European country living under the thumb of Russia. This move is likely to anger the Russians. But it's precisely because of Russia...

As Russia's war grinds on in Eastern Ukraine, we're learning a bit more about the fates of two Americans who were volunteers fighting for the Ukrainian army when they were captured by Russians.

He called them "soldiers of fortune" and said the Geneva conventions and the wartime protections they provide fighters do not apply in their case, since Russia considers them mercenaries. The ...

The Russians hoped to pull off a lightening strike on Kyiv and rule most of Ukraine within weeks, when it launched the invasion of its neighbor back in February. And in the weeks afterwards when Russian forces were forced to retreat from the capital, Ukrainians hoped they had Russians on the run. Four months later and the war in Ukraine could last well beyond anyone's expectations. NATO's Secretary General says Russia's war in Ukraine could go on for years and the effort requires sustained Weste...

Hundreds, and possibly thousands, of foreign fighters flocked to Ukraine in February and March, eager to take up arms to beat back Russia's invasion. Among those fighters were several Americans, most of them with military experience eager to help out the Ukrainian cause ... so the deaths or captures of American fighters there was probably inevitable. And indeed it has happened, two Americans--both military vets--were captured by Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine ... and already they're being dis...

All of that enthusiasm and optimism from the early days of Russia's war in Ukraine, when Ukrainians were able to beat back the Russian offensive on Kyiv, has turned to pessimism in recent weeks. That's because Russia's brutal, grinding campaign in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine is paying dividends. Out-gunned and out-manned, the Ukrainian military continues to take horrible losses in the East; and the Russians continue to advance in their land grab. Russian forces now control most of the D...

When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine back in February, the United States and most Western immediately launched what they claimed would be crippling sanctions against Russia and Vladimir Putin. There would be little to no loopholes or exceptions, leaders like President Biden promised, and the sanctions would be unrelenting with the goal of severely degrading Russia's ability to fight in Ukraine. Fast forward four months later and the jury remains very much out on the impact of those sanct...

Saudi Arabia plays no direct role in Russia's war against Ukraine. The Persian Gulf kingdom isn't providing weapons to Ukrainians nor are they siding with the Russians.

As Russia's campaign in Eastern Ukraine grinds on, the United Kingdom is the latest country to commit to sending heavier weapons to the Ukrainian side. After the Biden administration announced it's sending multiple launch rocket systems, the UK said it's sending similar missile launches capable of matching the Russian artillery barrages that now rain down on Ukraine cities in the Donbas on an hourly basis. This has clearly caught the attention of Vladimir Putin. The Russian warned the U-S and Br...
