How air raid alerts are paralyzing Kyiv

What helps you stay sane? Nothing! That is roughly how Kyiv residents have been describing their state of mind over the past week. Air raid alerts keep sounding one after another. What is that noise in the sky? A Ukrainian fighter jet or an enemy Shahed drone? Most likely, the latter.Texty.org.ua analyzed how air raid alerts were distributed throughout the day in late August and how much working time they cost.After August 26, Russia sharply intensified its drone attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region. It seems Russian jet-powered drones have moved into the capital’s skies. But as air raid alerts skyrocketed, the workday was shattered into short stretches of time.

Within FPV's reach. How Zaporizhia is getting used to living under nets
The advancing front line and the increased flight range of Russian drones have led to a sharp rise in FPV strikes on Zaporizhzhia.

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

There are no set rotation periods, but commanders usually try to rotate units much more frequently — from a few days to one or two weeks — to maintain combat capability. So, staying on the front lines for 30–200 days is a consequence of the harsh conditions of war. Here's why this is becoming the norm.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
