VORU COUNTY, Estonia — In southeast Estonia lies a lake-studded, woodland region locals call Missomaa, which makes up the country's three-way borderland with Latvia and Russia. Its innocuous-looking woods are overlaid by cameras and sensors feeding data to a British unit stationed nearby, informing their first-person-view (FPV) drone operators about an "enemy" vehicle closing in.

On May 22, 1979, thousands gathered in Lviv to bid farewell to Volodymyr Ivasyuk, one of the most influential figures in modern Ukrainian music. Weeks earlier, the composer had disappeared under mysterious circumstances before being found dead in a forest near the city of Lviv, in what Soviet authorities declared a suicide.

Ukraine’s recent counterattacks in the south were officially presented as a major success, with Kyiv claiming hundreds of square kilometers recaptured from Russian forces. But most battlefield maps barely changed. So what is really happening on the front line?

As both Russia and Uk

The Russian economy is losing momentum as the cost of the war mounts — sowing discord at the highest levels of the state and posing growing problems for President Vladimir Putin. After four years of proudly insisting that Russia could withstand sanctions imposed by the West in response to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin is now confronting the reality that the war economy that initially spurred growth is increasingly straining the system. Meanwhile, there is a growing sense that

For millions of Europeans, the era of Russian domination over the nations east of the former Iron Curtain remains a vivid, living memory. But while the Kremlin's tide receded across most of Central and Eastern Europe, others remain stuck within Russia's borders, yearning for the freedom of national expression that has yet to materialize. European history is littered with tales of one nation's brutality towards another, but very few nations have experienced what can truly be called a genocide —

Last week, President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly raised concerns about the possibility of Belarus entering the war from the north in support of Russia. None o
