In recent years, Ukraine has introduced several streamlined procedures to make LLC registration accessible to non-residents, even if they cannot physically come to the country. This has opened doors for foreign investors who wish to establish a business presence in Ukraine without needing to be here in person.

Russia/Ukraine: Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on reports of the DPRK sending troops to Russia
24/10/2024 17:24 | Press release | |
Russia/Ukraine: Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on reports of the DPRK sending troops to Russia |
The European Union is deeply alarmed by reports that the DPRK is sending troops to participate in Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. This would constitute a serious breach of international law, including the most fundamental principles of the UN Charter. It would be a unilateral hostile act by the DPRK with serious consequences for European and global peace and security. This development also illustrates once again how Russia is spreading instability and escalation in the region and across the globe. The European Union strongly condemns the deepening military cooperation and arms transfers between the DPRK and Russia, which flagrantly violate multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions. The EU urges the DPRK to stop providing support to Russia’s illegal war efforts. |
Eyes Wide Shut: A Global Farce Unfolding
This would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. Putin’s supposed global isolation? A complete failure. The recent BRICS meeting in Kazan, legitimized by none other than the head of the UN and bolstered by China’s president, showcased one thing to the world: the spinelessness of Western policy. A jubilant Putin now brazenly announces his intent to reshape the global legal order, while the summit's declaration makes a mockery of reality—mentioning Ukraine and the UN Charter as if Ukraine had attacked Russia. It's a twisted reflection from Putin's world of crooked mirrors.

Lifelong Learning? What About Lifelong Teaching? If You Agree, Then Educator Is Coming to You
I’ve met so many remarkable people over the years—especially those who’ve reached what society often calls “elderly.” But I’m telling you, sixty really is the new thirty. These individuals are full of energy, sharp minds, and a passion for life that would put many younger folks to shame.

The Lost Russian World or Blood Feud Is Here
A sophisticated reader, especially from the United States, can easily picture the scene: the Governor of Connecticut, standing before a room filled with the state's top law enforcement officials, suddenly declares a blood feud against a senator from Delaware. The public official of one state openly vows vengeance against a representative elected by another state's people. The speech is dramatic, incendiary—and recorded for all to see.

Bon appétit, Mike Johnson!
October 11, 2024. Punchbowl news.
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson recently declared, “I don’t have an appetite for further Ukraine funding, and I hope it’s not necessary. If President Trump wins, I believe that he actually can bring that conflict to a close. I really do. I think he’ll call [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and tell him that this is enough. And I think everybody around the world is worried about this, and they want it to be resolved. So whatever the terms are, I’m not sure, but I think if Kamala Harris is president, I don’t think it ends, and that’s a desperate and dangerous scenario.”

Gone with the Milton
Post-Tropical Cyclone Milton served as a convenient pretext to delay the much-anticipated Ramstein meeting, where critical decisions for the Russian-Ukrainian war were expected. The absence of U.S. President Joseph Biden, attributed to the wrath of Milton (which, in retrospect, was exaggerated), seemed to rob the gathering of its significance.
Whether Biden’s non-participation was genuinely weather-related or politically calculated remains a question for history to unravel. Either way, the storm appears to have swept away not only Biden but also some of Ukraine’s immediate hopes for significant NATO advances, particularly on the pressing issue of striking deep into Russian territory.

Orban’s Roast in the European Parliament: The Curtain Falls on Hungary’s Strongman
Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s controversial prime minister, recently took center stage in the European Parliament, but what he received wasn’t applause—it was a public roasting. While laying out Hungary’s priorities for its upcoming EU presidency, including EU enlargement, Orbán pointedly ignored Ukraine, sparking sharp rebukes from the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, and other EU leaders.

Hurricane or Refusal to Capitulate?
If there are people out there charged with the political isolation of Vladimir Putin, they might as well return the money. Yesterday, in the heart of Moscow, the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) gathered, with none other than Putin himself presiding. Nine CIS leaders stood by his side in the Kremlin, knowing full well that he is actively committing genocide against the Ukrainian people and is a wanted man by the International Criminal Court. Yet, there they were, posing for a joint photo as if this was just another day in politics. What explains this? Is it their fear of Putin or a reflection of shared values?

In a significant step towards justice, Ukraine, in collaboration with the Council of Europe, is pushing forward plans to establish a special tribunal to address the crime of Russian aggression. This initiative, which has gained momentum, is poised to be built on a bilateral agreement between Ukraine and the Council of Europe, a structure that Ukrainian officials deem the most promising path to hold those responsible for war crimes accountable.

Putin’s Eleven, or How Many Are There?
The moment you hear any politician casually drop the phrases "Ukrainian crisis" or "Ukrainian conflict," rest assured that person is a mouthpiece for Putin's agenda. There’s no confusion about it – they are not just misinformed, they are actively aligning with interests that stand against Ukraine.

Mr. Putin: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Ah, Putin and his new nuclear doctrine - an ultimatum to the West, of course, but delivered with that classic Putin flair: a hint of menace and just enough ambiguity to keep everyone guessing. His latest revision of Russia’s nuclear policy has the subtlety of a bull in a china shop, but fear not! Putin kindly leaves himself a back door to retreat. After all, why lock yourself in a room with your own insanity when you can keep the world in suspense instead?

The legal industry has traditionally been slow to adopt emerging technologies, but artificial intelligence (AI) has made a noticeable impact in recent years, particularly in the area of legal document review. Initially, document review involved manual sifting through contracts, discovery materials, and other legal documents. However, AI-powered tools have significantly changed the landscape by offering advanced automation and analytics.

Storm and Shadow Over Putin's Head
A feeling of dark irony arose from Putin’s brief, almost theatrical interview regarding the strikes of Western long-range missiles on Russian territory. The setting itself was symbolic: a literal gateway, an archway in a building complex where he sought shelter from possible airstrikes. Where is the once mighty ruler of Earth, the one Putin imagined himself to be in February 2022? Now, what stands before us is a small, frightened man, eyes filled with dread, awaiting the terrible fate that seems to inch closer by the day.

BRICS or Putin's Upcoming Triumph in Kazan: A Geopolitical Chess Move?
There’s nothing inherently wrong with the rapid expansion of BRICS. After all, who wouldn’t welcome the idea of laying new “bricks” to build a better global economy? BRICS nations collectively represent 33.9% of the Earth’s territory, 45.2% of its population, and 36.7% of global GDP. These numbers speak for themselves. The combination of the world’s largest energy producers and its biggest consumers among developing countries could lead to monumental economic shifts. In turn, this could reshape the entire geopolitical landscape.

Battle of Kursk II: The Inevitable Path of Russian Decolonization: A Moral and Global Imperative

Battle of Kursk II: The Adele Syndrome or a Mentally Ill Grandfather?
Vladimir Putin's fatal obsession with Ukraine didn't start on February 22, 2022, the day Russian tanks rolled across the border in a full-scale invasion. No, this moment was merely the climax of a long-simmering affliction - a manifestation of Putin's own Adele Syndrome toward Ukraine. This isn't just geopolitical ambition; it's a deeply rooted psychological disorder, one that mirrors the unrequited love described in the classic syndrome, where passion turns into a destructive obsession.

Battle of Kursk II: Rockets as Geography Teachers
As someone with a higher education and a scientific degree, I’ve always prided myself on having a solid grasp of geography. Ukraine, for instance, has always held a distinct place in my mind - its vast lands stretching beyond Germany and England combined, taking the crown as the largest country entirely within Europe. France might give it a run for its money, but only because of those distant overseas territories.
Yet, I must admit, my familiarity with Italy’s winding roads and Austria’s alpine passes often outshone my knowledge of certain regions in my own Ukraine - places I’d never ventured to, but now know all too well.

Battle of Kursk II: The Fall of Sausage into the Abyss
"If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
In the vast expanse of Russia, where the past and present collide with a force that tears at the fabric of society, a choice was made that sealed the nation's fate. When Vladimir Putin first emerged as the leader of Russia, the people faced a decision that would shape their future: the seductive allure of Freedom or the comforting embrace of Sausage. The choice was stark, yet deceptively simple - democracy and liberty, or stability and a full stomach. Russians chose Sausage.

Since the Ukrainian Armed Forces crossed the border into Russia's Kursk region, the silence from Russia's so-called allies has been deafening. Not a peep of support for Russia, nor a word of condemnation for Ukraine. The lukewarm mumblings from Belarus' president and the ambiguous noises from China hardly count as reactions.

Battle of Kursk II: Madness Approaches
Imagine, if you will, that you’re the president of a vast country, and you decide it’s a brilliant idea to invade your neighbor. There’s just one tiny problem: your country’s laws don’t exactly allow you to start wars in neighboring states. But hey, who needs laws when you have euphemisms? So, you go ahead and launch a full-scale invasion, but don’t call it a war—oh no, it’s a "special military operation." That sounds much nicer, doesn’t it?
