Preview IssueMounting Costs Of Russia’s War
A trifecta of stories about Russia's war in the Donbas: One features a town near the front line cut off from medical care and suffering from COVID-19; another is on the lost generation of young people brainwashed by Kremlin propaganda in Russian-occupied zones; a third is Russia's creeping annexation of the Donbas with attempts to make 1 million Ukrainian citizens there switch to Russian passports. In other news, the fallout over U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to waive sanctions against Nord Stream 2, allowing the Russian-German pipeline to go ahead, is generating intense opposition in Ukraine and abroad. Also, President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a three-hour press conference to mark his second year in office. We have the highlights. The Big Interview is with fired Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Kryklii. Lifestyle takes a look at police brutality in the raids on nightclubs in Podil & offers some suggestions for restaurants with the best summer terraces.
