Ukraine war unlikely to end by February 2027 - harder days lie ahead: expert warns

US-led effort to bring Russia and Ukraine closer to a possible settlement has entered a new stage. Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were described by Moscow as "extremely frank," "timely" and "highly useful." After meeting with Vladimir Putin, US envoys travelled to Kyiv for talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. While no breakthrough has been announced, the meetings mark a new push by Washington to keep the negotiating process moving.

Why is Azerbaijan held to a different standard by Western media?

The recent trend in Western media’s attitude towards Azerbaijan can no longer be explained simply by journalistic approaches or the positions of individual editorial offices. The fact that the same topics are brought to the agenda on media platforms in different countries with similar theses, the same emotional overtones, and almost simultaneously raises serious questions. In particular, the material distributed by the Polish “Nexta” channel regarding the Goranboy incident is striking as another example of this approach.

Michael Rubin’s Somaliland idea looks like a new front in an old war

Forging even the smallest measure of peace and normalcy between Azerbaijan and Armenia has never been easy. It has been so difficult, in fact, that the progress witnessed today would once have struck most observers as the least likely, almost absurd, outcome imaginable. Unfortunately, though, this particular historical moment does not suit everyone. It does not serve the interests of certain lobby groups, or the individuals connected to them, who wield considerable influence from entirely outside the region and show correspondingly little grasp of its realities.
