On 9 December Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine is "a colony of the West" and accused the West of "destabilizing the world's order". Read more on our web site: ukraineworld.org/articles//info…

It is not the first time when Russian propaganda tries to portray the West as a "world's threat". Though, now Russia is the main threat for the internationally security.
Moreover, in his speech Putin also called #Ukraine "a colony of the West". This is another example of the narrative about Ukraine as a "failed state" that has been previously used in Russian propaganda. Image
Putin's speech makes clear that the idea about "a war with the West" and a refusal to recognise Ukraine as an independent state became crucial for Russian politics.
Russia is an empire trying to denounce the imperialism of others: this is a key message to the world.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council @OleksiyDanilov shares his vision of a current watershed period and what to do to avoid the big war. The answer is clear - de-Putinization, denuclearization, demilitarization of 🇷🇺 and and dismantling its pseudo-federation.
Regarding Russia, now we are dealing with the emerging hybrid, modernized bloodiest version of totalitarianism, which has rightly been called the ideology of russism, which can use all the latest technological and civilizational achievements.
Silence and lack of actions from Europe in 1930s led to rise of Hitler. If the humankind didn't draw the lesson from history, the current war for independence of Ukraine can be just prologue to the big war.

What is the current situation with judicial reform in Ukraine? UkraineWorld spoke to Mykhailo Zhernakov, chair of the board of the DEJURE Foundation. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis: 1/13
The war has greatly changed everything. First of all, we are already on the fourth iteration of Ukraine`s judicial reform. Some parts of it were successful, like the Anti-Corruption Court, but the rest has been less so. 2/13
This is mostly because earlier judicial self-governance, which exists in other European countries, was introduced. This is a good recipe for preserving the system’s ability to preserve itself, but a bad one when the system needs to be changed. 3/13

Undoubtedly, the aid provided by the West to Ukraine has been a pillar of Ukraine's successful resistance against Russian aggression. We have put together a short compilation of all the key points regarding Western assistance to Ukraine. 1/14 Image
📌Key trends:

From the very beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the US has been Ukraine’s key donor. Its contributions have gone far beyond even the combined support of all EU member states and EU institutions, especially in the provision of military aid. 2/14
The situation changed after the Council of the EU reached an agreement on December 10, 2022 to provide Ukraine with EUR 18 billion during 2023, a decision initially put in jeopardy by a Hungarian veto. 3/14

In Regular updates on Russian disinformation narratives targeting Ukraine, we find new #Putin's explanation for attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. #AgainstRussianLies #InfoWatch

Speaking during an award ceremony at the Kremlin on Thursday, Putin argued that "There is much noise now about our attacks on the energy infrastructure of our neighbouring country. Yes, we are doing this. But who started it?” #UkraineUnderAttack Image

What is the situation with Ukraine`s energy infrastructure? UkraineWorld spoke to Roman Nitsovych, Research Director at DiXi Group. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis: 1/12
As numerous studies show, damage to energy infrastructure does not fundamentally affect a belligerent’s combat capability, since the armed forces already have priority access to energy supplies. These attacks are aimed at undermining the Ukrainians’ psychological condition. 2/12
This is definitely a war crime and meets the definition of genocide in international law, as one of its characteristics is “deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” 3/12
