The battle for people: Ukraine is losing population faster than Russia

The battle for people: Ukraine is losing population faster than Russia
In recent months, heated debates about migrants have been raging in Ukraine — from arguments on social media to public statements by officials. A wave of memes about "Indians in Ukraine" has swept across those same social media platforms. But amid all the emotional uproar, the main issue is being lost: the demographic crisis is becoming truly dangerous. The country’s population is shrinking faster than it was before 2022. That is precisely why the state needs a well-thought-out migration policy, a strategy to bring back its own people and attract foreigners. The state migration policy strategy adopted in 2017 expired in 2025, and a new one — covering the period up to 2035 — is still only being developed.Читати українською

How Ukraine’s long-range strike system works against Russia

How Ukraine’s long-range strike system works against Russia
When Ukraine first struck deep into Russian rear areas, these were considered isolated cases. However, by 2024–2025, it had become clear that a new type of operation had emerged. Systematic pressure on the enemy’s infrastructure, industry, and logistics hundreds and thousands of kilometers from the front lines. The shift in approach was not even about distance, but rather the emergence of a whole range of Ukrainian long-range weapons — from inexpensive unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to missiles. It was precisely this combination that gradually changed the nature of the war.Читати українською

How Russians are using the IMF meetings to distort news about the state of the economy
Propagandists from Russian state media use the opportunity to attend regular International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings to promote their news agenda to both domestic audiences and the international community.
