A new photo book by Eddy van Wessel, with nearly two hundred images taken over the course of three years, offers a visual history of the war’s devastation.

It’s never easy to tell which flip or flop the flip-flopper in the White House means.

The world’s richest man and its most powerful leader channel their inner middle schooler in a breakup for the ages.

An analyst of the conflict argues that there is still a path to peace.

With the President intent on delivering a speedy end to the war, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are competing to make each other the subject of his ire.

Whether a trade pact with China or a peace accord with Russia, the President doesn’t seem to know what he’s actually asking for, never mind how to actually achieve it.

“Tariff Man” is gonna tariff—and other lessons from the predictably unpredictable President’s return to power.

And that the West has misunderstood Vladimir Putin.

The historian Stephen Kotkin analyzes what a President who governs in the style of professional wrestling gets wrong—and right—about an unstable world.

The limits of rhetoric in Ukraine.

Trump has suspended all military aid to Ukraine in an apparent attempt to bring the country to the negotiating table. But does Russia need to negotiate?

For decades, Alexander Dugin argued that Russia had a messianic mission, and that destroying an independent Ukraine was necessary to fulfilling it.

Mykola Hryhoryan was on the front lines before being gravely injured. Now, with American support in question and the country’s troops depleted, he’s preparing for the possibility of going back.

A group of sociologists found that few Russians were steadfast supporters of the war. Most had something more complicated to say.
