The world needs a new Churchill - What kind of victory should end the Russian war against Ukraine?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:34 GMT

Slowing down our victory is the escalation of the war. The new year, 2023, has begun. What it will be like, is currently discussed by all the world's leading politicians and experts, without exception, writes Yuriy Kostenko.For Ukrainians, the coming year is the year of their victory over the Russian aggressor and the liberation of all occupied territories. For world leaders, 2023 will be a defining test of their ability to counter large-scale challenges and make forward-looking decisions.The key topic of current political discussions is the question of what Ukraine's victory could be like and what the global consequences of Russia's defeat would be.Historical analogies are very well visible in this perspective. Such an example is the end of the Second World War. Then, after the joy of victory, leading politicians categorically refused to admit that Hitler was replaced by Stalin, yesterday's ally, but today's fierce enemy.In this context, the reaction of the then political elite to ...

By all standards, Christian communities are thriving in Israel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:34 GMT

Despite a recent statement by the Latin Patriarch suggesting the contrary, it seems that such claims are misguided at best, write Lord Simon Isaacs, Des Starritt and Pastor Brian Greenaway. Last week, the Latin Patriarch, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, alleged that Israel’s current government has emboldened perpetrators to carry out greater amounts of attacks on Christians. Pizzaballa argued that extremists have been increasingly harassing clergy and vandalising religious property since the current government came to power. He argued that the prevalence of settler leaders in key roles has made extremists feel that they are protected and that the cultural and political atmosphere tolerates such attacks.The reality on the ground in Israel could not be more different. The declaration of independence describes the country as a Jewish state but clearly extends religious freedom to all of its inhabitants. The Central Bureau of Statistics reports that 84% of Israel’s Christian community say they...

Acting as an umbrella for the non-performing loans of Binbank, Otkritie, and Promsvyazbank – lenders rescued by the Russian central bank in 2017 – Trust seeks to capitalize on the credibility of an international judicial system to bolster its case and enhance the prospects of recuperating the significant amounts at stake.In the lawsuit filed to the court, Bank Trust accused the major traders of conspiring with Russian businessman Mikail Shishkhanov, former owner of large private lenders Binbank and Ro...

Battle Tapes and Daft Punk: Josh Boardman of L.A. electro-rock project Battle Tapes told us about his Daft Punk experience.Josh Boardman: It was 2007. I found myself standing in line outside the Los Angeles Sports Arena – my heart pounding with anticipation because my girlfriend had surprised me with tickets to see Daft Punk. They were such a major influence on me creatively, and I was a big fan, to say the least (and still very much am).As we made our way inside the arena, the atmosphere was electric, pulsating with the collective energy of thousands of fans eagerly waiting for the show to begin. Finally, the lights dimmed, the five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind played, and the duo appeared atop the now iconic pyramid. The venue erupted.While they performed, I couldn’t help but marvel at Daft Punk’s ability to reimagine and rework their songs for a live setting. The fluidity of their music showed me that touring and performing could be standalone a...
