⛰️🛡️Карпати варто берегти не лише через те, що ми хочемо в Євросоюз. Наші гори і ліси в першу чергу потрібні нам. Петицію щодо захисту Карпат Офіс президента зареєстрував з п'ятої спроби👉 bit.ly/41d9r4a

So the civilized world today has only the experience of the Ukrainian army — and this is invaluable experience. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

If we speak of a total confrontation between “two worlds,” we must understand that when one section of this broader front reaches a deadlock, there arises a need to disrupt the balance elsewhere. And so it can continue — all the way to a global war. vilni-media.com/en/2026/03/03/…

As long as Russians believe that the statehood of Ukraine should be liquidated, and the Ukrainian people — canceled, the conflict will continue on several levels of escalation, even if Moscow lacks the strength for intensive military actions. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

Illusion can win elections and dominate social media frenzies, but it can never truly prevail. Life will always defeat both death and lies. And you would do well to stand on its side — if you wish to survive and not lose yourself. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

In reality, such negotiations do not bring peace closer—they only push it further away, because they allow the administration to refrain from applying greater pressure on Russia under the pretext of fearing to “block” the simulated “peace process.” open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

Not threaten Ukraine and Russia with pressure in four months, but put pressure on Putin now. Apply pressure in such a way that the Russian president is left with no alternative but to stop waging war, killing, and shelling. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

Imperial ambitions can only be countered by large intergovernmental alliances — perhaps even new ones, beyond those that currently exist. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

The Davos Forum forced everyone to lay their cards on the table. It showed that European leaders are beginning to grasp the reality. But understanding is one thing—action is another. The answer to the challenge of Davos 2026 must be real action. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

This means that instead of seeking meaningless dialogue with Putin, pressure on Russia must be increased. It means not boasting about the absence of aid to Ukraine, but strengthening this assistance – particularly by reinforcing air defense. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

So, when Putin is spoken to in the language of pressure, sanctions, and the destruction of his energy companies—he understands. When he sees attempts to negotiate with him—he launches the "Oreshnik" near European borders. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

But whoever ignores the weak sets themselves not on the path of prosperity and power—but on the road of decay and collapse. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say: 2026 will be a year of deep political and economic uncertainty. And perhaps a year of global catastrophes. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

And I truly don’t understand why this part of the Russian émigré community should be called an “opposition.” In reality, this is just a symbiosis of FSB agents and useful idiots. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…

And perhaps it is precisely in Putin’s unwillingness to acknowledge the economic realities of the coming years that the answer lies to the question of whether the war can be ended. open.substack.com/pub/portnikov/…
