Ukraine has become a war lab for the future since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Driven by necessity, it has had no choice but to rely on rapid innovations to fight back. As a result, Ukraine is at the forefront of military technology, leveraging robotics and automation to redefine modern warfare and serve as a testing ground for future combat technologies. As it continues to develop and deploy cutting-edge unmanned systems, the world is closely watching how these advancements shape

Over two years have passed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the volunteer IT Army of Ukraine is more effective than ever. On June 20, 2024, the hacker group launched what they claimed to be the "largest DDoS attack in history" against Russia's banking system, crippling numerous banks and causing widespread disruption. Vasily Nebenzya, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, then claimed that the IT Army of Ukraine is actively spreading disinformation agai

U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron recently declared, "Ukraine’s security is our security.” As the front line between Russia and Ukraine becomes ever more static, Russia will continue to seek out ways to disrupt Ukraine’s flow of military aid and harm its partners. As one of the leading contributors of military aid to Ukraine, the U.K. now ranks as the third most frequently targeted country for cyber attacks, trailing only behind the U.S. and Ukraine. Given the leading role that the U.K. is p

As Ukraine endures the ravages of Russia's full-scale invasion, the impact extends far beyond the physical destruction of its cities and the displacement of its people. A silent but equally devastating crisis is unfolding: the severe deterioration of the mental health of the Ukrainian population in wartime. A recent survey by the sociological group Rating reveals a striking shift in the mindset of Ukrainians amid Russia’s ongoing invasion and the uncertainty of the future. As of Dec. 1, approxi

“Attention equals help. No attention will mean no help. We fight for every bit of attention,” President Volodymyr Zelensky remarked in a recent interview. One of the groups that has played a vital role in keeping online attention focused on Ukraine has been the North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO). This unique assembly of individuals, formed in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, is tackling Russia's formidable propaganda head-on. Their approach is unconventional:

Ukraine has been wreaking havoc on Russia’s navy in the Black Sea through the use of new homemade sea drones and foreign-supplied cruise missiles. As a result of these suffocating attacks, Russia has been forced to have the bulk of its navy retreat from Sevastopol — a port that was first claimed by Russia in 1783 under Catherine the Great. However, with Russia in retreat, it could result in the war opening up a second front on Georgia’s occupied coast. Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, Russi

Bratislava announced the end of military aid to Ukraine on Oct. 26 following the election of the new Slovakian prime minister, Robert Fico. Fico based his campaign on strong anti-U.S. sentiments, promises to halt weapons shipments to Ukraine, and a commitment to block Kyiv’s NATO aspirations. While Slovakia was not among the biggest donors of military aid to Ukraine, it did donate 13 MiG-29 warplanes and an S-300 air defense system, long before the U.S. opted to allow Ukraine to receive F-16s.

The rise in Russia's disinformation efforts continues to be an ever-growing concern for Western nations. This uptick is notably concentrated on Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine, aiming to weaken Western backing for the country. These strategic propaganda operations are far from isolated events. They represent a broader pattern of information warfare conducted by Russia since 2014, meticulously crafted to erode democratic values, foment discord, and control the narratives within Western medi

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, has cast a spotlight on the emergent role of cryptocurrencies in a modern war zone. In a time of crisis, where conventional financial systems faltered, crypto has emerged as a critical and unexpected ally for Ukraine. However, the full-scale invasion in 2022 wasn’t the first time Russia invaded Ukraine. The first invasion occurred in 2014 when Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea and waged a war in Ukraine’s Donbas region. Ukraine

In the occupied Crimean Peninsula, an unyielding spirit endures despite years of unremitting repression exerted by Russia upon Ukrainian citizens, particularly the Crimean Tatar population. Here, a determined force of Ukrainian partisans meticulously prepares for an armed uprising, waging a war largely in the shadows. The resilience of Ukrainian partisans signifies an important shift: Crimean inhabitants are casting off their Russian-imposed fear, as they anticipate being liberated by Ukrainian

In a move that delivered a significant setback to Putin, Erdogan has publicly expressed his support for Ukraine's aspirations to become a member of NATO, allowed the release of Azov commanders, and halted opposition to Sweden's NATO accession. Turkey is beginning to capitalize on Russia's vulnerability after the Wagner Group’s recent mutiny. Erdogan's latest actions deviate significantly from his previous diplomatic approach, which had aimed at fostering a cordial relationship with Russian Pres

Russia’s full-scale war exposes the terrifying horrors that come as no surprise, given the long history of Russian atrocities committed against Ukraine. The deliberate infliction of severe physical and psychological pain and suffering by the Russian army upon Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war reveals the expansion of Russia's historical agenda to eradicate the Ukrainian people and their identity. With Russia shamelessly displaying its genocidal efforts, negotiating peace with such an agg
