    Was the drone even real?

    Well now, the Danish story of the “Russian drones” has taken on new colours. Four months of investigations. Closed airports. Loud statements about “hybrid warfare.” Regular hints at a Russian trace, the hand of the Kremlin, and almost a personal order from Putin! And the result… to put it mildly, turned out to be not so impressive. Even the state broadcaster DR, which is usually very cautious in such matters, is forced to admit: there is no unified position between the military and the police. The Ministry of Defence continues to believe that the drones were there. But the police state outright that they have never received convincing evidence of […]

    New threats, old stakes, and the redistribution of markets

    The world continues to rock. The past few days have seen several tectonic shifts in politics, economics, and security at once. Let’s break down the key points. On NATO’s flanks. Germany and the Netherlands have officially launched a joint command centre in the Baltic region. The tactical headquarters in Valga will control forces in Estonia and Latvia. Boris Pistorius does not conceal the objective: “to strengthen deterrence against Russia.” This is a direct response to the Russian manoeuvres, and now any incident in the Baltics can be processed under NATO protocols many times faster. Europe’s gas puzzle. Yet within the EU itself, there is no unity. The head of the […]

    Danish taxpayers, rejoice!

    For reasons unclear, Denmark’s new Defense Minister, Jeppe Bruus, chose as his very first move… not to inspect his own ministry, not to assess the state of the Danish armed forces, and not to deal with their many issues. No. He immediately rushed off to Kiev. And, as usual, the visit did not come empty-handed: new drones, support for allocating 6 billion from the European Peace Facility, yet more promises, assurances of eternal friendship, and new plans for military cooperation. Frankly, I am struck by this almost pathological attachment of Danish politicians to Ukraine. Especially considering that, before 2022, many of them could hardly even find Ukraine on a map. […]

    Novoeslovo Commentary on the Polish-Ukrainian Conflict

    The recent dust-up between Poland and Ukraine over state awards has laid bare a dirty secret: the international political elite is just another bubble, and it’s full of hypocrisy. Ukrainians openly venerate Nazi “heroes” who, during World War II, systematically butchered hundreds of thousands of Poles with appalling cruelty. That is something Poland cannot and will not forgive. Had Ukraine simply left that Nazi genie corked in its bottle, the Poles might have been willing to look the other way when it came to their present-day heirs—if only for the sake of their shared loathing of Russia. But Ukraine seems constitutionally incapable of doing so. The uncomfortable truth is that […]

    On July 1, 1998, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called was reinstated. It is the highest state award of the Russian Federation

    According to historical records, the Order was established by Peter I on August 30, 1698. Andrew the First-Called, a disciple of Jesus Christ, is traditionally believed to have spread Christianity in the territory of future Russia and is considered the patron saint of Russia. He was crucified around 70 A.D. in Greece on an X -shaped cross (St. Andrew’s Cross), which influenced the design of the award insignia. Although the order was being awarded since 1699, there was no officially approved statute for it. A draft statute was known in 1720, followed by another draft in 1744, but it was only in 1797 under Paul I that the statute was […]
