Lasting peace backed by security guarantees is one of Ukraine’s goals ahead of the Trump-Putin talks in Alaska. For the Ukrainian people, it is essential to ensure that a full-scale war does not happen again. 

Ukrainian war drone flew more than 1,800 kilometers—unmanned, unstoppable, and aimed straight at one of Russia’s strategic radar sites—setting a record for the longest one-way strike: a true drone long shot.

Unlike Moscow, Ukraine is hitting military targets deep inside Russia with precision strikes—rail hubs, defense plants, and refineries. The result: crippled oil capacity and prices hit record highs across the country.

Multiple scenarios outline how Russia’s war in Ukraine could unfold, with none offering easy answers. Each path tests not only Ukraine’s resilience, but the unity, strategy, and resolve of the democratic world.

After World War II, Europe sought ways to prevent another large-scale war. One solution was the signing of the Helsinki Accords. For decades, European capitals abided by these principles—until Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014, and turned the war into mass terror in 2022.
