My new piece titled" Europe Uses Ukraine as Its Private Army: The Price Is Paid at the Front"
"Keeping Ukraine in the fight is the top priority," said NATO General Jason Guiney recently at the Kyiv Security Forum, a security policy conference held in the Ukrainian capital. The statement was telling. He did not speak of ending the war or striving for a realistic peace settlement. Instead, the priority was clear: keeping Ukraine at war.
For many in Europe, this is a way to wear down Moscow without deploying their own troops or paying the human cost themselves.
Western demands to keep Ukraine fighting in the war feel less like solidarity and more like exploitation in the interest of European security. Ukraine is increasingly being treated like a military subcontractor in the fight against Russia. Yet this fighting force is no longer truly voluntary: the majority of new recruits now come from forced mobilization.
European politicians ignore this because it serves their interests: a steady supply of cheap "manpower" with weak protections, inadequate provisions, and delayed compensation for surviving families.
While tractor drivers, plumbers, and factory workers spend months on the front lines, a segment of Ukraine’s political elite has turned the war into a business.
The longer the war drags on, the higher the price ordinary Ukrainians pay with their lives. They are hostages not only to Putin and his military but also to political elites in Ukraine and the European Union, for whom the war has become a way of life.

How do you “legitimize” Nazi collaborators from the Waffen SS Division Galicia in a country that fights for “freedom and democracy”?
🟥Patriotism™: Rebrand them as freedom fighters—just quietly crop out the part where they wear Nazi outfits, fought for the Third Reich, and swore loyalty to Hitler.
⬛️Christian nationalism: Invite patriotic priests to every commemoration.
🟥Glamour: Hand the banners to photogenic girls in embroidered shirts. Who will ask questions about SS when the beauty is on the march?
⬛️Innocence: Bring kids to the marches. Because nothing sanitizes the past like a stroller and a balloon.
🟥Cult of Heroes and Sacrifice: Visit graves of soldiers killed in the current war and weave their deaths into the same narrative—blend timelines until everything becomes one noble blur.

Zelenskyy and his Ex💔
Take a moment to appreciate how Zelenskyy “fights” threats to 🇺🇦“national security.”
🎯Sanctions on Mindich for embezzling €100 million from Energoatom and millions more from defense: 3 years.
🎯Sanctions on Bohdan for whistleblowing about corruption linked to Zelenskyy and Mindich: 10 years.

A fast-track bid for Ukraine to join the 🇪🇺 risks triggering a new migration crisis—one Europe may prefer not to think about.
Yes, more Ukrainians would head west.
But the bigger issue is what happens inside Ukraine first. With a labor shortage of 4.5 million, Kyiv is expected to look to Africa and Asia, bringing in workers from countries like Nigeria, India, and Pakistan to keep the economy afloat.
And then? Borders open.
The assumption that these workers will simply stay put is wishful thinking. Once access to the EU becomes easier, many won’t linger in Ukraine—they’ll move on.
Officials in Brussels know this. The math is straightforward: today’s labor fix could become tomorrow’s migration pressure.
Europe isn’t just fast-tracking Ukraine. It may be fast-tracking a problem it’s not ready to handle.

‘Is this what I fought for?’

How is that, exactly?
Isn’t Europe supposedly under threat from Russia, which is just about to snatch the Baltics back into USSR 2.0, roll over Poland, and march straight into Berlin?
Or was all that hysterical arms-race panic just for money-making? No way....

Ursula von der Leyen:
You can make money anywhere in the world.
But if you want to raise children, you choose a place with peace, safety, and opportunity.
That is Europe.

‘Shashlyk (Barbecue) Day’:
The Azov publisher Rienhouse mocks the victims of the Odesa massacre of May 2, 2014, when 42 people died in a fire and 6 were killed earlier in street clashes by gunfire during violent confrontations between pro-Ukrainian (pro-Maidan) and pro-Russian (anti-Maidan) groups.
The European Court of Human Rights found that Ukraine failed to prevent the violence and did not respond effectively to the fire.”

Right Sector, whose militants were involved in the massacre in Odesa on May 2, 2014, is celebrating the day when they ‘stopped the Russian Spring’ in the city and defended a ‘Ukrainian Odesa.’

2 May 2026.
While neo-Nazis and all kinds of self-proclaimed "patriots" celebrate their so-called ‘Shashlik Day,’ mocking the victims of the Odesa tragedy, ordinary residents of Odesa quietly carry flowers to the site where people lost their lives—victims not only of fire and violence, but of the reckless games and cynical manipulations of irresponsible politicians.
RIP.

Nazi symbols and the 'patriotic education' of youth in Ukraine.
The far-right organization UNSO, linked to the 67th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was formed on the basis of the Right Sector, is conducting military training for young people.
Note the Nazi Totenkopf symbol on the helmet of one of the instructors.
It's against Ukraine's law by the way.

While the two Vladimirs are ruthlessly destroying the population of Ukraine, political and financial elites are planning to bring 4.5 million workers into Ukraine by 2030 in order to ensure GDP growth at the level of 7%.
Experts believe that the largest sources of labor for Ukraine are India, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria.
🇺🇦Far-right are extremely opposed, but their minds cannot connect this with their own war agenda.

Look at this man’s lightning-fast reaction to the draft officers — it’s anything but welcoming🏃

And one could also, for example, stop selling weapons to Kyiv and stop tolerating corruption within Zelensky’s circle, especially when the FBI knows all their dirty secrets.
Just saying💁♀️

Trump:
Biden gave 350 billion dollars for Ukraine, which was insane.
It’s one of the reasons why the war went on.
