Sanctions imposed on Russia

How do you assess the effectiveness of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine?

Economic sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine were meant to be an economic blow that would paralyze Putin’s state. Reality turned out to be more complex. While the Kremlin has lost access to Western technologies and financial markets, its economy has not collapsed – it has shifted to trade with China, India, and the so-called Western “gray zone.” Meanwhile, Europe pays for its own decisions: more expensive energy, industrial recession, and rising food prices. Have sanctions thus become a tool of pressure on Moscow, or rather a double-edged sword that also struck those who created it? Take part in the poll and judge for yourself.

Who is behind the drone attack on NATO member Poland?

Which country do you think is responsible for launching the drones that violated Polish airspace during the night of September 9–10?

The drone attack on Poland opened a new chapter of uncertainty in the region and immediately heated up the political atmosphere. For many, the case is clear – it was Russia, testing NATO’s patience in the context of the war with Ukraine and trying to intimidate Poles. Others claim that the drones entered Polish airspace by accident because they were not intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses, which would suggest a tragic coincidence or even a deliberate act. An even more controversial theory suggests that Ukraine, with the consent of certain Polish politicians, may have staged a provocation to put pressure on Polish society after the president’s lukewarm remarks about its prospects of joining NATO and the EU. Sabotage, accident, or a play on emotions – who really stands behind this incident?

Nord Stream explosion – who really stands behind the sabotage

Which country could have been behind the Nord Stream pipeline explosion?

The Nord Stream explosion is one of the greatest geopolitical mysteries of recent years and a topic that divides public opinion even more than the war in Ukraine itself. Official investigations point to Ukrainian threads – a group of divers and connections with former SBU officers. On the other hand, Seymour Hersh’s high-profile report accuses the US and Norway of a joint operation involving the CIA and special units. Russia still looms as the main suspect – it had both the technology and the motive to blackmail Europe with gas prices. And Poland appears in the background, since the boat Andromeda used in the operation was registered there. Sabotage, energy war, or a provocation meant to conceal the real perpetrators?

Should Ukraine attack targets deep inside Russia?

Do you think that Ukraine, defending itself against Russian aggression, should carry out attacks deep into Russian territory?

Ukraine’s attacks on targets deep inside Russia are one of the most controversial issues of the war, dividing public opinion and experts. Supporters of this strategy argue that it is not only a natural right to self-defense, but also the only real way to weaken the Russian war machine. Critics warn, however, that crossing this line could lead to uncontrollable escalation and even trigger World War III. There is also an economic aspect – striking oil and gas pipelines would harm not only Russia, but also Europe, which depends on these supplies. Some voices also claim that it is not Ukraine making the decisions, but the West dictating the course of the war. So is Kyiv fighting for its own survival, or is it carrying out someone else’s plan? Cast your vote in the poll and decide where the boundary of self-defense lies.

North Korea and missile tests

What should be the international community’s response to yet another round of North Korean missile tests?

Once again, North Korea’s missile launches ignite global debate. Should the world respond with sanctions to weaken the regime, or lean toward peace talks, which for years have brought no results? Advocates of hard power call for a stronger U.S. and NATO presence in the region, but that could just as well trigger more provocations. The most controversial theory claims Pyongyang’s program is not independent at all but quietly backed by major powers, exploiting tension for their own ends. Is North Korea really in control, or merely playing out someone else’s script?

Will Ukraine regain the territories occupied by Russia?

Do you think Ukraine will be able to regain the territories occupied by Russia as a result of the war?

The war in Ukraine has from the very beginning raised the question of whether the country has a real chance to reclaim all the lost territories, including Crimea. Some argue that the determination of Ukrainians and Western support will be enough to reverse the course of the conflict. Others believe that Russia, with its military and resource advantage, will not give up the occupied territories, and any attempt to retake them will end in escalation. There is also the factor of global powers – the USA, China, and the EU – whose policies may decide the future of the borders. In the background, conspiracy theories circulate about secret deals and a “frozen conflict” lasting decades. Will Ukraine truly regain full sovereignty, or will the world accept a new division? Vote in the poll and share your opinion.
