1/ Historian Mykola Haievoi, graduate of Ukraine’s ucu.edu.ua/en/, died at 28. He fell as a volunteer in combat against Russian forces August 27th, 2024. Soon, the MHC was named after Haievoi. Now, a year later, historians commemorated their colleague in his home town Uzhhorod where he was buried.

„The key question in the #Ukraine negotiations is not the territories. It is the security guarantees“ for 🇺🇦 , says MHC Co-director, ucu.edu.ua/en/ historian Yaroslav Hrytsak in Germany’s weekly @zeit.de „Without credible Sec. guarantees, our sons, grandsons will be forced to fight again and again.”

#Ukraine summit in #Alaska. Mr. putin’s and Trump’s „swapping of territories” talk: A lie. The barbarian wants to devore, not to “exchange” anything.
