The article discusses the three significant turning points in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The first point was when the Ukrainian army pushed Russian forces out of its territory, which changed the perception of the conflict in the international community. The second point was the increased support from external powers, particularly the United States, which changed the balance of power in the conflict. The third point was the changing perception of Ukraine in the international community, which led to more support for Ukraine and a more active role in the conflict. The article concludes that while the conflict is far from over, these turning points have helped to shift the balance of power in favor of Ukraine and have made it clear that the international community is committed to supporting Ukraine and resolving the conflict.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the need for innovative approaches to defense, and the development of a near-space airship program could provide a strategic advantage for the country. While the cost and time to develop such a program may seem daunting, there are several potential benefits that make it a worthwhile investment.First and foremost, near-space airships can provide a unique vantage point for surveillance and reconnaissance. With a flight ceiling of up to 70,000 feet, these balloons can stay aloft for weeks at a time, providing a constant eye in the sky over a designated area. This can be especially useful in monitoring troop movements and detecting potential threats.In addition, near-space airships can serve as a platform for a variety of communication technologies, including long-range radios and satellite links. This can help to maintain connectivity in areas where traditional communication infrastructure has been compromised or destroyed.Perhaps most importantly, a near-space airship program could serve as a deterrent to Russian aggression. By demonstrating an ability to maintain constant surveillance and communication over key areas, Ukraine could signal to Russia that any aggressive actions will be met with a swift response.While there are certainly challenges to developing a near-space airship program, including cost and technological hurdles, the potential benefits make it a worthwhile investment for Ukraine's defense.

China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has published a report exploring the use of near-space vehicles, including airships, as "omnipotent weapons" in modern warfare. The report, written by a researcher named Qiang Tianlin, outlines the strategic and tactical advantages of these vehicles, which operate at altitudes between 20,000 and 100,000 meters. According to the report, near-space vehicles are stealthy, energy-efficient, and can be deployed easily in all weather conditions. They also have the potential to provide high-quality intelligence and communication, surveil large areas, carry weapons to strike land and space-based targets, and jam enemy communications. While China is not the only country exploring the use of near-space vehicles, the report highlights the country's growing investment in military technology and its desire to compete with other global powers.

Yuri Vanetik, a lawyer and member of the Board of Directors of the international human rights agency WEST SUPPORT, discusses the reshaping of the pro-Russian lobby in the US. Vanetik explains that while the lobby was once effective, it is now struggling due to Russia's status as a pariah and model of dictatorship. He suggests that the only way for the Russian or pro-Russian lobby to be present in US media or politics in the future is by shifting the emphasis on purely American interests, financed through some fifth or sixth subsidiary of Gazprom from Russian resources.

The transfer of oil wealth towards Middle East will be epic - the EU's recent embargo on the maritime supply of petroleum products from Russia to the EU will have a significant impact on the Russian economy, leading to a potential loss of 40 billion dollars a year by 2030. The US sees the situation as a positive development as it further isolates Russia and divides Europe and Russia, a move in the interest of the US. The embargo is likely to benefit Middle Eastern suppliers, such as Saudi Arabia, with a transfer of wealth towards the fast-developing region.
