Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has caused not only death and destruction within its borders but has also led to a wave of Ukrainian refugees seeking safety in EU countries. But a number of them have faced violent attacks over the past two years.

Before the full-scale invasion, Ukraine could fully supply itself with energy and even export it abroad. But the war has changed everything. The Ukrainian energy system is being destroyed, and energy prices are rising in Europe.

Never before has an active nuclear power plant of this scale been seized and held hostage in a war. Russia’s actions at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have shattered long-held norms surrounding nuclear safety. With this dangerous precedent set, Ukraine’s Peace Formula seeks to re-establish a global framework for nuclear security.

Consistent reports of GPS interference have plagued Finland, Poland, the Baltic states, and the Baltic Sea. This poses a significant threat to civilian aviation and regional military security. Suspicions point to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave as the source of these disruptions.

While the world’s attention is focused on Iran, we look at Russia’s other strategic partner—North Korea. Exploring the deepening relationship, we see how Russia’s brutal attacks on Ukraine benefit both. 

Iranian Shahed drones are cheap, fast, and deadly. But it’s not just Iran that uses and produces them, it’s also Russia—giving Ukraine plenty of opportunity to get pretty good at shooting them down. But how are they made? How much damage do they cause? And why are they used so widely?
