Ukraine

Although almost no one in Russia openly claims to be “far right”, there is nevertheless a “heterogeneous coalition” on the right of Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated Victory Day on Monday with a speech celebrating the 1945 Soviet Union's victory.

South Africa does not have many ties with Russia, however the ripple effects of war will still have an impact on our country.

In his speech Putin explains his reasons behind wanting to demilitarize Ukraine and why Russia has attacked.

After calling upon Russia to drop all military attacks on Ukraine, President Ramaphosa has now called upon the UN to mediate.

Ukraine's response is to appeal for peace, but at the same time the president states “If we are attacked, we will defend ourselves.”

We could be facing World War Three as Putin warns countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences they have never seen”.

While the world is in shock of Russia's attacks on Ukraine, SA is dealing with the effects of ZAR dropping and US president Biden steps in.
