War in Ukraine

Ukrainian forces have unleashed a new weapon on the battlefield: the “Dragon” drone. This drone burns everything in its path before exploding, with several reported uses already showing its impact on Russian positions.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has driven millions of Ukrainians into poverty. While economic hardship pales in comparison to the loss of life, Ukraine has still faced immense economic challenges due to Russia’s aggression. Which sectors are affected most and what are the figures?

Kharkiv has been under heavy shelling throughout the first days of September. Among the weapons Russia has used against the city is its latest development, the Grom-E1.

Ukraine had already hit over 30 Russian oil-processing refineries, President Volodymyr Zelensky y said on June 24th. That was roughly three months ago, and Ukraine has been keeping up the pace since—with drones already reaching a 1,500-kilometer range, according to him. 

Forty years ago, a close associate of Vladimir Putin played a key role in the murder of one of Ukraine’s most celebrated dissident writers. Today, he is orchestrating espionage networks for Russia throughout Europe.

On September 4, Russia launched two attacks on the Ukrainian cities of Lviv and Kryvyi Rih, killing at least 10 people and causing significant damage to the civilian infrastructure.
