Russians Subject Ukrainian POWs to Execution and Incredible Torture There are no adjectives and superlatives left to describe russians’ crimes and brutality against Ukrainians. Civilization has already been exposed to russian cutthroats’ rape and murder of women and girls of all ages. Now execution of prisoners of war, beheadings, body mutilation and even needles under fingernails have become the latest blood-curdling hallmark of torturing Ukrainian soldiers as russians strive to subjugate and annihilate all Ukrainians. According to the United Nations and other sources, the United Nations High ..read more

Ukrainian Journalists Missing after Russian DetentionKeep the truth and information away from the people by arresting and detaining journalists – in this case Ukrainian news reporters. The Committee to Protect Journalists said last week that it is pressing russian authorities to confirm the whereabouts of Ukrainian journalists Heorhiy Levchenko and Anatasiya Hlukhovska, and drop all charges against them. Levchenko and Hlukhovska’s detention was not made public until late October 2023, when Vesti Nedeli, a program of russian state-owned TV channel Rossiya 1, and russian defense ministry-af ..read more

Congress Finally Gives Ukraine a Fighting Chance After waiting six blood-drenched, anxious months as Russian rockets slammed into Ukrainian apartment buildings and hospitals, and moscow’s cutthroats made inroads across eastern Ukraine, lawmakers in Washington finally experienced a hopeful epiphany and voted to support $61 billion of military funding for Ukraine. The wide range of weapons and other aid is now expected to give Ukrainian soldiers a fighting chance to halt Russia’s battlefield advances and perhaps even turn the war’s tide against the terrorist invader. Just when you thought that t ..read more

Should Ukrainians Lament Navalny? Despite the White House’s half-baked idea of inviting Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska to attend President Biden’s State of the Union address and sit with America’s First Lady and Alexei Navalny’s widow, Yulia, his death in prison did raise the issue of the goals of russian liberals and Ukrainian sovereign existence and their possible intersections. Fortunately, Mrs. Zelenska politely declined the invitation because the national mood in Ukraine would frown on the prospect of the wife of the wartime President of Ukraine being shown in the presence of a russi ..read more

Lies, Damn Lies and russian Lies As the age-old adage declares explicitly, there are lies, damn lies and russian lies. The kremlin has been accused of lying, distorting and deceiving in international affairs, sports, academics and commerce for since the start of the modern era but now France and other countries have proven the point. They uncovered a wide-ranging russian disinformation campaign to undermine Western support for Ukraine, according to country’s agency in charge of spotting foreign interference online recently announced. “The involvement of Russian embassies and cultural cent ..read more

Biden: Delaying Aid to Ukraine is almost ‘Criminal Neglect’; Meanwhile, russians still Rain Death upon Ukrainians While Ukrainians are waiting and praying for American lawmakers to approve releasing as soon as possible urgent funding for Ukraine, the russians haven’t been wasting their time by humanely suspending raining death and destruction upon Ukrainians. They have been continuing missile and drone attacks against Ukraine that have killed and wounded innocent, unarmed Ukrainian civilians, and destroyed their homes and cities. The latest bloody target was the second largest Ukrainian c ..read more

Ukrainian & Polish American Communities Stand with UkraineUnder a banner that reads “Support Ukraine Now,” the leading representative organizations of the Ukrainian and Polish American communities have called on the White House to support Ukraine in its existential war with russia and simultaneously uphold democracy and sovereignty in Europe. It has been my contention that the former captive nations of russian imperialism constitute the best defense against moscow’s aggression. They, more than other nations, have nationally and personally experienced russisa’s whip, barbed wire, execution ..read more

Schumer: Americans will Suffer if Ukraine Falls It has been our contention that the fate of the world hangs on the outcome of the latest iteration of the russo-Ukraine war that putin launched. If Ukraine fails to hold at bay and defeat russia, then Eastern Europe, Europe, NATO, and the United States will fall. The russian war against Ukraine has lasted more than 700 days and no one has offered Washington legislators a better explanation about why Ukraine must prevail than Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), a perennial supporter of Ukraine. Capitol Hill is currently in a deadlock about what to do wit ..read more

Innocent Ukrainian Civilians are russia’s True Targets It has been obvious since the first days of the latest iteration of russia’s war against Ukraine that moscow won’t succeed in taking Kyiv in two or three days and all of Ukraine in another few weeks, as putin crowed. The incompetent former second mightiest army in the world has waged an uphill battle to decimate the Armed Forces of Ukraine and then seize and subjugate the country and nation. Village to village battles have not fared well for russia. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, led by Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, have kept the russian invaders ..read more
