My story for @POLITICOMag on Ukraine’s Antarctic program:
Ukraine’s Antarctic mission is featured in Politico 😎
The article’s title says it all:
“Ukraine’s Weirdest Front Line: How a mint-green research base, 14 scientists, and a gentoo penguin colony became part of Ukraine’s war strategy.”
The article discusses Ukrainian Antarctic research, the impact of Russia’s full-scale invasion on this process, and the geopolitical struggles over Antarctica.
Symbolically, the story was published just ahead of the 48th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Japan 🇦🇶, where Ukraine is traditionally represented by the National Antarctic Scientific Center.
The piece explores:
• how Ukraine’s Antarctic research became an important diplomatic tool;
• how Antarctic Treaty members split into two geopolitical camps;
• and what it means to work 15,000 km from home while your country fights for its independence under constant attacks.
Enjoy reading

The US president is attacking his closest allies. His calculation: Germany and other Western countries are weak and must comply. But the US is more vulnerable than Trump believes. welt.de/politik/ausland/plus…

Germany's parliament voted today to loosen its debt brake and allow for more borrowing, long a controversial topic in German politics.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz long believed his party needed to take a harder line on migration. But the attack in Aschaffenburg convinced him it was now or never.
His decision that followed completely transformed the final weeks of the election campaign.

Alice Weidel took her far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to new heights in Sunday's election, nearly doubling the party's support.

Laut der 18-Uhr-Prognose von infratest dimap zur Bundestagswahl liegt die Union mit 29 Prozent vorne, gefolgt von der AfD (19,5 Prozent). Die SPD erreicht 16 Prozent, die Grünen kommen auf 13,5 Prozent. Die Linke erzielt 8,5 Prozent und würde damit in den Bundestag einziehen. Knapp wird es dagegen für FDP (4,9 Prozent) und BSW (4,7 Prozent). #Bundestagswahl2025
