Kursk region now. Putin Arrived on the Scene After Ukrainians Left the Area [PHOTO]

What is the situation in Russia’s Kursk region? Not as bad as it’s being portrayed. Here are the latest findings from the PostPravda.Info think tank. The Russians continue their counteroffensive in the Kursk region, from which they have driven out a significant portion of Ukrainian forces in recent days. These forces had been holding Kremlin-controlled territory since August 2024. Vladimir Putin himself has arrived on the scene. What is the current situation for the Ukrainian troops?

Situation in the Kursk region not as dire as propaganda suggests

Contrary to Russian propaganda claims, most Ukrainian units, such as special operations forces and other assault troops stationed along roads and railways deep within the Kursk region, had already withdrawn from Russian territory nearly two weeks ago, as planned.

Defensive units remained on-site to secure the retreat of equipment and the remaining troops from Russia. I spoke with Ukrainian soldiers who are securing the withdrawal, and they claim that for now, the situation is under control, with most units managing to withdraw systematically.

In the Kursk Region Russians found empty villages

As the Russians entered areas previously occupied by Ukrainians, they found empty villages. Putin’s troops are attempting to breach some sections of the border with Ukraine, but in recent months, strong defensive positions and concrete trenches designed for such attacks have been established. As a result, most of the attacks are being repelled, although some border areas have become zones of intense fighting. The situation is still developing.

The Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, assured the media that Ukraine will maintain its defense in the Sudzha area in Russia for as long as necessary.

Propaganda surrounding the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico

After the assassination attempt on Robert Fico, the propaganda inherent in such cases was basically immediately launched. Wszelaka. We followed it through.

In Kursk, Putin is learning that historical revanchism cuts both ways [OPINION]

Ukrainians may decide to celebrate the liberation of their former capital. Historical revanchism cuts both ways.

The Kremlin fears that the West is trying to break Russia apart. If only! [OPINION]

Russia’s stony-faced foreign minister is getting paranoid. Sergei Lavrov believes that “at present, about 50 countries are trying to break up Russia.” The West is the Kremlin's worst enemy.

I’ve witnessed first-hand the horrific cost of Putin’s war – as casualties hit 1 million

The combined number of casualties on both sides in Russia’s war against Ukraine has reached the ghastly 1 million mark, according to a media report. The tally of deaths in Europe’s largest conflict since the Second World War.

Russia May Lay Claim to the Baltic States

Russia is not currently laying claim to the Baltic states. But it is increasingly constructing a historical and legal language of threats in which such claims could one day be formulated. Russia’s experience in recent years shows that when official discourse about neighbouring countries and peoples shifts into a language of enmity, the risk of conflict becomes harder to dismiss.

India’s Policy: Neutrality, Peaceful Coexistence, and a Misunderstanding of the Russian Imperialism

India’s foreign policy is shaped by its cultural and historical experience, through the prism of which it perceives Russia’s war against Ukraine. This leads to a misunderstanding of Russian imperialism and a tolerant attitude toward it, contributing to the contradictory nature of India’s policy.

Tucker Carlson’s Narratives About World War II: Is Compromise with Hitler or Putin Possible?

False narratives about World War II are spreading today not only in Russia. One of the most prominent popularizers of an alternative view of the war has been American political commentator Tucker Carlson. What lies behind this revision of history – insufficient historical knowledge or a particular ideology? Why is revisiting the history of World War II becoming a way to justify concessions to modern-day Russia?

How Estonia’s Datasel Defence Scandal Turned into Russia’s Information Weapon

Russian propaganda is attempting to exploit the scandal in Estonia. The Datasel case: the “missing” €70 million and the ammunition intended for Ukraine that never reached it. Where is the money? Who set Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur up? How did a genuine failure within Estonia’s defence system turn into an information weapon for Russia, and who helped amplify this narrative from within Estonia itself?

The Estonian-Russian Border: Smugglers, Mafia and Russian Spies. What Is Really Happening There?

Provocations along the Estonian-Russian border are becoming increasingly frequent. In 2026 alone, 11 incidents involving violations of the border by Russian state agencies have been officially recorded. The situation is particularly troubling in the area around Narva, where Russian intelligence activity has been observed. This is not the first time that Russia’s actions have posed a threat to Estonia’s security.

Russian Imperial Consciousness Between Imperial Pacifism and Necro-Imperialism

Russian imperial consciousness is a spectrum of different positions that gradually transition into one another. At the opposite poles of this spectrum are, on the one hand, necro-imperialism and, on the other, imperial pacifism. Both positions took shape as early as the Soviet period but acquired entirely new forms in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Who Benefits From an Energy Ceasefire in Ukraine? [ANALYSIS]

To assess whether an energy ceasefire in Ukraine is possible, let’s consider an old political principle: who stands to gain the most — Trump, Putin, or Zelenskyy?

Africa colonized through religion. This is the largest expansion of the Russian Orthodox Church in history

Africa has long been an important arena for the Kremlin to extend Russian influence around the globe. Moscow simultaneously deploys the military, mercenaries, media, and diplomacy, while also developing a much less visible tool of influence—the network of the Russian Orthodox Church.
