Ukraine has found itself in a paradoxical situation: while its “Army of Drones” has achieved unprecedented technical feats—including capturing Russian positions using only autonomous robots—the human foundation of the military is fracturing.
A sobering report from Dutch military intelligence warns that the casualty ratio, once heavily skewed against Russia, has leveled out. For a nation with a significantly smaller population, this parity is a slow-motion disaster.
Canada’s top military commander attempted to deliver a message of reassurance to Ukrainians on Thursday that NATO remains a stable, vital force despite turmoil and criticism — most of it from the Trump administration.
Gen. Jennie Carignan spoke on a panel at the Kyiv Security Forum and she told CBC News, in an exclusive interview afterwards from the Ukrainian capital, that disagreements among allies are part of the democratic process and they have happened before.
Exactly who needs reassuring?
While President Zelensky celebrates automated ‘victories’ on the battlefield, his Ministry of Defense is grappling with the reality that two million men are actively evading the draft.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he considered visits by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow but not Kyiv “disrespectful”.
The pair visited the Russian capital late last year as ceasefire talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine gained pace, and again in January.
Witkoff, who has been to Moscow eight times, met Vladimir Putin on many occasions.
Neither he nor Kushner, however, has ever visited Kyiv in an official capacity.
Russia said on Monday that it had arrested a German woman found with a homemade bomb in her backpack in an alleged Ukrainian plot to blow up a security services facility in southern Russia.
In a statement published by state media, the FSB security agency said that the woman, born in 1969, was to be used as an unwilling suicide bomber in the plot and had been dragged into it by a citizen from a Central Asian country, who was alleged to be working on orders from Ukraine.
Reporting on the Nord Stream gas pipeline attack has picked up again over recent weeks, long after it first hit the headlines in September 2022—especially following revelations about Kyiv’s involvement in the blast.
According to Bojan Pancevski, an investigative journalist for The Wall Street Journal, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky knew in advance about—and, indeed, authorised—the operation, from “early on,” and only told military officials not to go ahead due to resistance from the U.S., which was also in the know. Pancevski this week explained that “the command went ahead with the operation anyway.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Berlin will limit the number of Ukrainian men seeking asylum and facilitate their return home.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, April 14, Merz said Berlin would work closely with Kyiv on the issue.
“We will work closely [with Ukraine] on issues related to Ukrainian citizens who have sought asylum in our country and facilitate their return home,” he said.
Someone has to answer WTF is going on in Ukraine.
Ukraine has been able to retake territory seized by Russia in an operation using only robots and drones for the first time during the war, President Zelensky has said.
Russian soldiers surrendered when confronted by the army of unmanned vehicles and there were no losses on the Ukrainian side, Zelensky said in an address to the workers of Ukraine’s defence-industrial complex on Monday.
Kiev has become one of the strongest Bentley markets in Europe, according to Richard Leopold, Bentley regional director for Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa.
During the European Scorecard Awards 2025 held in Marbella, Spain, Bentley announced the results of its internal Business Performance Matrix, a system evaluating 61 dealerships worldwide. Bentley Kiev received recognition in sales, marketing and best improved.
Thousands of Asian, African and Middle Eastern migrants have come to Britain under the Government’s Ukrainian free visa scheme, The Telegraph can reveal.
Nearly 3,500 visas have been granted to migrants from 112 countries – including Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq, Iran, India and the Palestinian territories – under the two schemes offering sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
OTTAWA — Canada is sending another $51-million aid package to Ukraine.
The money, announced Friday by Secretary of State for International Development Randeep Sarai, will go towards humanitarian relief, preparing Ukraine for post-war elections, and support for veterans of the war against the now four-year old Russian invasion.
Randeep who?
Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine’s allies have urged him to scale back attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure amid the ongoing global fuel crisis – but that they would only end if Russia stopped targeting Ukraine’s first.
The Ukrainian president told journalists in a WhatsApp voice message that, by launching attacks on Russia’s energy system, Ukraine was only responding in kind.
It is unclear which countries he may have been referring to. China and India remain heavily dependent on Russian oil, and the EU on Russian gas.
U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News.
Have you ever wondered why Joe Biden and the Democrats were so insistent that Congress send endless billions to Ukraine? Well, new declassified intel drops a bombshell that raises some troubling questions about it, and it stinks to high heaven.
In 2022, U.S. spy agencies discovered Ukrainian officials were plotting to divert hundreds of millions in American taxpayer cash meant for clean energy projects to Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
As Ukraine emerges battered but unbowed from the third and most terrible winter of the war against Russia, its people have proved that they can survive and fight on even as Vladimir Putin’s troops destroy swathes of their country’s heating, transport and electricity infrastructure. But one thing that Ukraine cannot survive without is money – and that, the European Union seems critically unable to provide.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused European allies of seeking to “blackmail” Kyiv into reopening a pipeline transporting Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia.
He said restoring the flow of Russian crude oil through Ukraine into the European Union (EU) would be like lifting economic sanctions on Moscow.
Ukraine says the Soviet-era Druzhba oil pipeline was damaged by Russian air strikes in January and has yet to be repaired.
Is he still looking for the “real saboteurs” of the Nord Stream pipelines?
