The first battle for Kursk

Ukrainian forces have humiliated the Russian army in Kursk, where Soviet forces once overcame the last big German push on the Eastern front in the Second World War.

Ukraine belongs in NATO

Apologists for Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine point to Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO as justification, but this argument is as fallacious as Putin’s war is brutal.

Ukraine and the West must win together

Ukraine’s surprise attack on Kursk is yet another humiliation for President Putin but it will take continuing Western support for the war to be won.

How Ukraine sank Russia’s navy

Ukraine has resisted the Russian invasion on land and in the air, but its most surprising successes have come in a theater where few expected Ukraine to prevail: the Black Sea.

Sanction Chinese companies supporting Russia in Ukraine

Australia should take concrete action against China’s material support for Russia’s illegal invasion and brutal occupation of Ukraine.

Peace through strength not surrender

The free world must give Ukraine the capabilities it needs to fight against Russia and help give them something to fight for.

Peace depends on the defeat of Russia

700,000 Russian troops have failed to subdue Ukraine, and Russia’s offer to declare a truce in return for all the territory it wants and Ukraine’s exclusion from NATO has been rejected. The latest international Summit on Ukraine should demand a complete Russian withdrawal and restoration of Ukraine’s territory and independence – terms which Russia agreed by treaty in 2004.

Slava Ukraini

Russian propagandists and their western enablers have long tried to deny Ukraine’s right to exist, but their arguments are as specious as Russia’s current assault is brutal.

Don’t blame the west for Russia’s war

Russian propagandists and anti-western agitators will blame anyone and anything except the greed and brutality of Vladimir Putin for Russia’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine.

The war the west must win

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a direct assault on the Western liberal order, and for our peace, freedom and principles to survive, we must rise to the challenge and do whatever it takes to defeat the aggressor.

Ten years after

It is ten years since Russia illegally annexed Crimea on March 18 2014. Subsequent efforts to firmly integrate the peninsula into the Russian Federation, however, have been far from the success story that the Kremlin often likes to portray.

Be brave like Ukraine

The Pope may be calling for Ukraine to surrender, but the people of Ukraine will fight on for their freedom, their culture and their lives. We must do all we can to support them.
