War in Ukraine

Ukraine’s 37th Marine Brigade has been holding the line against the Russians for a while now. They recently received a new batch of French AMX-10 armored vehicles—the occasion for our team to assess the grim situation on the ground. 

Russian media spread fake news of their Kinzhal hypersonic missile being fired at Ukraine from their Su-34 fighter jet for the second time. We debunk these illogical claims, highlighting how a wave of arbitrary arrests perpetuates Putin’s hypersonic ego and plays into Russia’s propaganda war machine.

Russia’s tank arsenal is disintegrating faster than it can be rebuilt. Ukraine has managed to cripple Moscow’s armored forces with industry that, just three years ago, barely existed.

Ukraine's partners have bolstered the defensive capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with their tanks, supplementing Soviet-era models. So what tanks does Ukraine have now?

Ukrainian prisoners of war face brutal sentences in Russia’s most notorious penal colonies, where torture and abuse are widespread and systematic. Moscow uses its “terrorist organization” list as grounds to charge Ukrainians for serving in Ukraine’s Armed Forces, violating the Geneva Convention. What are these penal colonies and how is Russia applying these charges? 

Never before has the world imposed such significant sanctions on Russia's oil industry. These measures are expected to severely impact the Russian economy and the ruble.
