On July 11, 2025, the Polish state will officially commemorate not one, but two memorial dates — the so-called “National Days of Remembrance for the Victims of Genocide Committed by Ukrainian Nationalists.” At first glance, this may seem like a tribute to the victims.

In today’s world, the economy and migration are not just interconnected phenomena. They are like the heart and bloodstream of globalization. Wherever capital flows, people eventually follow.

Who’s Behind the Chaos in Los Angeles?

And above all, at the top of his personal hierarchy, stands Vladimir Putin.
