Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has attracted an incredible amount of propaganda and fake news stories.
The people who are suffering are the Ukrainians who have been displaced, killed and captured. No-one disagrees with that.
But so many people are suggesting that their is an endgame that is involves Russian sanctions and isolation.
The cost of the war in Ukraine
Whilst Ukraine will be left in ruins and in need of a rebuild. The unfortunate cost of the war will leave the country with debt for the arms that have been supplied by the United States and being used as a proxy for the US.
Russia has a perspective which is monitored and blocked by major search engines.
Ukraine and specifically the President Zelensky is on a PR war. Rallying as many world leaders to join to condemn the Russian invasion.
Will Ukraine join NATO?
The questions everyone is still asking is Will Ukraine be able to join NATO and the EU.
And if that happens will Russia take this war to the next level.

Uzbek Man Detained Over Moscow Killing of Russian Chemical Weapons Chief
Russia’s security service (FSB) has detained a 29-year-old man from Uzbekistan in connection with the assassination of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defence Forces.
The killing occurred early Tuesday in Moscow when an explosive device hidden inside a scooter was remotely detonated near a residential block. The blast also killed Kirillov’s assistant.
The FSB announced Wednesday that the detained suspect is “suspected of committing a terrorist attack” and claimed he admitted to working for Ukrainian special services during interrogation.
Ukrainian Link Alleged
According to Russian state media, the FSB claims the suspect was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence. Ukraine’s security service has not denied involvement, with an anonymous source telling the BBC that the operation was planned by Ukrainian intelligence.
The source described Kirillov as “a legitimate target,” alleging his involvement in war crimes. Just a day before his death, Ukraine had charged Kirillov, 54, in absentia, accusing him of orchestrating the mass use of banned chemical weapons.
Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus
Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus
The ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad has reportedly fled to Moscow, where his long-term ally, Russia, has granted him asylum. It comes after a rapid rebel offensive seized Damascus, ending five decades of Assad family rule.
Celebrations erupted across Syria as thousands took to the streets, waving revolutionary flags and firing celebratory gunshots. The jubilant scenes echoed the early days of the Arab Spring before Syria was engulfed in a nearly 14-year civil war marked by devastating violence and division.
The fall of Damascus raises significant questions about Syria’s future and its impact on the broader Middle East. U.S. President Joe Biden called the collapse of Assad’s regime a “fundamental act of justice” and credited international efforts for weakening the support base of Syria’s allies — Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah.
Russian media outlets Tass and RIA reported that Assad arrived in Moscow with his family, citing unnamed Kremlin sources. The reports also suggested that Assad had left Syria after negotiations with rebel groups, issuing instructions for a peaceful transfer of power. Rebel leaders have assured the security of Russian military and diplomatic assets in Syria, RIA added.
The transition of power now centres on Abu Mohammed al-Golani, leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) faction, Syria’s largest rebel group. Once affiliated with al-Qaida, al-Golani has since renounced extremism and expressed support for pluralism and religious tolerance. Despite this shift, HTS remains designated as a terrorist organisation by the U.N.
The rebels face an uphill battle to stabilise a fractured country still grappling with internal conflicts. Turkey-backed factions are clashing with U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in the north, and remnants of the Islamic State remain active in remote regions.
