War in Ukraine

From nerve agents to choking gases, the Kremlin has a long history of using chemical warfare, whether in assassinations or on the frontlines. Russian forces have deployed chemical weapons against Ukrainians, violating international law. What chemical weapons is Russia using and what do we know about them?

Despite hopes for a shift in public opinion, polls show that the vast majority of Russians have been supporting the war in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion started—support that has remained stable. 

North Korean soldiers are now fighting—and falling—in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Drone footage and battlefield images captured by Ukrainian forces confirm multiple dead and injured North Korean soldiers alongside Russian casualties near the Russian-Ukrainian border in the Kursk region.

Russia not only attacks civilian populations and infrastructure but also wreaks havoc in the Black Sea. The recent Volgoneft tanker disaster is just the latest instance of Russia openly violating international maritime law through oil spills, committing marine ecocide, and exploiting Ukrainian resources by concealing their illicit activities.

Only a few countries in the world possess their own laser weapons. It seems Ukraine is now one of them.

Russia’s losses in the Pokrovsk direction also exceed the total troop numbers of some European armies, such as Italy or Germany.
