#Russia

Russia has committed a litany of war crimes and violations of international law, against Ukrainians—torture, crimes against humanity, and cultural genocide—while waging its war of aggression. Despite sanctions and global condemnation, these atrocities continue to escalate. This article sheds light on just a fraction of the thousands documented daily by authorities in their pursuit of justice and accountability.

Since the beginning of its invasion of Ukraine in 2014, Russia has been subject to significant sanctions aimed at weakening its military-industrial complex (MIC). Despite these measures, Russia’s MIC has reached its highest production capacity since the Soviet era, particularly in recent years—especially following the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This would not have been possible without the technology of Ukraine's allies.

Douchebiden, Americ*nts, and the mysterious “Russian soul.” Russia’s propaganda has exploded in the past decade, fueled by a crackdown on media freedom. Even with its low-budget, laughable production, calls for nuclear strikes “On Washington!” are growing louder from Moscow to Murmansk.

Millions of Ukrainians have lost their homes due to Russian aggression. While the Russian army has physically destroyed few Ukrainian cities, Russian civilians have been able to make money on this and are actively selling other people's surviving housing in the occupied territories.

Ukraine’s vital efforts in developing its missile capabilities is a mission rooted in a long history of missile production and driven by the urgent need to defend against Russian aggression.

Many Russians, even among those who oppose Russia’s war against Ukraine, still hesitate to take responsibility, blaming the invasion on NATO provocation or conspiracy theories about US meddling and a coup. Experts say that this is because the “victim” mentality persists in Russian society today. But why is that? Our reporter Yev Kopiika interviews Dr. Botakoz Kassymbekova, an Assistant Professor in Modern History at the University of Basel.
