On 22 April 2026, the Arbitral Tribunal established under Annex VII of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) rendered its award on the merits in the case of Ukraine against the Russian Federation concerning the rights of a coastal state in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. The case was initiated by Ukraine on 14 September 2016 in connection with the Russian Federation’s violation of its obligations under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in the waters adjacent to the coast of Crimea of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait since 2014. In its final award, the Arbitral Tribunal did not establish that the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait are the so-called “Russian lake”, but instead confirmed their status as internal waters of two States – Ukraine and the Russian Federation.  Ukraine remains a coastal state in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait and retains all sovereign rights granted to it by inter...

"I lived in propaganda for many years, and it also played with me. I am a person who has communicated most of my life in Russian. But since childhood, I have spoken both Russian and Ukrainian, because I started and finished school in Ukrainian. And when I gave interviews in my country after some competitions, I did it exclusively in Ukrainian. And when there were questions about why I speak Russian and not Ukrainian, I thought: "What's the difference? Well, we understand each other." Today I understand that language is your identity, it is your weapon and it is what makes you who you are. I love to live, to rejoice, to go fishing, to swim, to enjoy life. But if someone prevents me from doing this, then we gather together and reclaim our place under the sun. Ukrainians are by nature good people who want to work, live, have fun and even help if someone needs it. If someone tries to interfere with this incredible life, let them be silent.”

"Ukrainians cannot give up theirs, but we must negotiate with the Russians, because we are people. We have brains, we have the same blood, it is red. "Crimea is Ukrainian. It was taken brazenly, they came simply, took it and squeezed it out. Crimea was, is and will be Ukrainian."

🗽Kyiv: the eternal city that does not give rest to Putin  Kyiv celebrates its birthday on the last Sunday of May. For the fifth year, this day has been overshadowed by the sounds of air raids and attacks by Russian drones and missiles. But the Ukrainian capital remains a symbol of indomitable spirit and freedom.   Why Kyiv does not give peace to Putin's Russia  For Russia, Kyiv is not just a city, but a symbol of imperial ambitions. Without Kiev, imperial Russia remains only the successor of the Mongol ulus Jucha, which has grown to one-eighth of the landmass.  For Putin, the inability to subjugate Ukraine, and especially its capital, is a blow to his dream of reviving the "Russian world" and appropriating thousands of years of history and culture. Kyiv is the key to the Kremlin's imperial fantasies.    But Kyiv is not the spiritual center of the empire. Kyiv is one of the centers of European civilization and democracy. This is a city that choos...

❗️Usyk said no. The fight that had been awaited for years had to be postponed 👀 According to Hearn, the Ukrainian was involved in discussions about the future of the Briton and supported the idea of holding an interim fight before a potential mega-fight against Tyson Fury. 📌 Usyk played a significant role in this decision - he was part of these conversations. And the main idea was this: Joshua definitely needs a fight to return. Perhaps he would have earned more by immediately going out to Fury, but Usyk said: “No, we have to be 100% ready for this fight,” Hearn noted.
