Ukraine is set to be the first country in the world to receive modernized French-Italian SAMP/T NG air defense systems, which could become the primary alternative to the American Patriot systems.

Cornered Putin: Why he needs the State Duma elections
In just a few weeks, on September 18–20, Russians will go to the polls to vote for candidates for the State Duma. These will be the first nationwide parliamentary elections since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Negotiations, blackmail of Europe, or mobilization: What to expect from Putin in the near future
In recent weeks, Vladimir Putin's rhetoric has been changing so rapidly that some of his statements contradict one another.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is once again trying to bring Russia and Ukraine back to the negotiating table. "Shelter" reports on the visit by White House special envoys to Moscow and Kyiv and whether the Kremlin is ready to make concessions.

France wants to restrict Ukraine’s purchase of non-European weapons using funds from a 90-billion-euro EU loan. In particular, American interceptor missiles for the Patriot air defense system—which Ukrainian cities need now more than ever—may be at risk.

A $27 billion shortfall: Where will Ukraine get the money for the war?
After a meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is currently forced to operate under conditions of a funding shortfall.

$40 trillion—that’s exactly how much the U.S. government now owes. To the average Ukrainian, this figure may seem like nothing more than an astronomical statistic, but its consequences could potentially hit much closer to home than it seems—through the dollar, the euro, gold, interest rates, and ultimately the value of the money in our wallets.

Ukrainians are actively discussing the new requirements for obtaining temporary protection in European Union countries. Starting in August, citizens applying for this status for the first time will need to prove that their departure from Ukraine was lawful.

An unusual parade of military equipment took place at several locations in Kyiv. Early in the morning, dozens of ground-based robotic systems (GRS) secretly drove down Khreshchatyk, drones took to the sky, and naval drones sped down the Dnipro River. All of this was captured on video on August 24—the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.

August 22 marked one month since Mykhailo Drapatyi took command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. His appointment came amid a high-profile personnel crisis following the resignation of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and protests in which participants, among other things, demanded a change in military leadership.
