As Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine crosses the 50-day mark, audacious operations continue to make global headlines. From Ukrainian special forces recapturing Kremlin-ally Viktor Medvedchuk to reports that Ukraine may have destroyed the Moskva, flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet.

War in Ukraine

This existential moment for the country follows the 2014 Maidan revolution, a nexus for Ukraine’s Europe-focused foreign policy and reform efforts. The ensuing Russian invasion and occupation of Crimea, aggression in Ukraine’s east, and Kremlin disinformation efforts, cast a shadow over Ukraine’s independence.
