  • Why did we enter the Kursk Region?
    Viktor Kevlyuk
    After the withdrawal of the Siversk military unit to Ukraine, it is logical to assume that Russians will return the vacant troops to the previous areas — near Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Kupyansk, Chasiv Yar. 
  • The glass eye of big brother. What Ukraine is losing without US intelligence
    Viktor Kevlyuk
    Partners have many times more space intelligence capabilities. Ukraine should focus on building warm relations and reliable channels for receiving intelligence.

  • Accounting of the war – 2025

  • Situation at frontline. Spark of hope

  • Continuation of Russian offensive: a thin red line

  • The case of the generals. Selective justice in manual mode
    Viktor Kevlyuk
    In Kharkiv, the enemy advanced 8.5 km in Lyptsi and 6 km in Vovchansk but failed to complete a single operational task and remains stalled. Yet generals and officers have been jailed.
