War in Ukraine

Greece has previously been reluctant to send air defense to Ukraine due to their own protection needs. Now, Athens has confirmed the future delivery of their Sea Sparrow missiles. But what are they and how can they be used?

Russia’s navy flaunts their latest nuclear-powered submarine with hypersonic missile capability, but Moscow's vessels have been hit hard by Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale invasion. How will their latest submarine measure compared to Ukraine and their Western weapon systems?

This year, we explored diverse stories from Ukraine that shed light on the daily realities of war and the strength of its people in the face of adversity.

Russia's strategic aviation—Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS, and Tu-160—are the weapons behind Moscow’s brutal attacks on Ukrainian cities. Once, Ukraine had over 100 of these bombers. However, financial debts and international disarmament pressure led to a rapid decline. The former airfield of the 185th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment in Poltava stands as a silent witness to this lost power.

In the shadow of relentless shelling and under the iron grip of Russian occupation, ordinary Ukrainians like Maria, Server, and Valentyn endure unimaginable hardships.

As 2025 approaches, the high cost of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—the largest war since World War II—becomes increasingly evident. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin estimated on December 7 that Russia has spent over $200 billion since its full-scale war began in 2022.
