Seit Beginn der Krise in der Ukraine und der russischen Invasion haben wir viel darüber gelesen und versucht, bei dieser Auswahl unseren Prinzipien treu zu bleiben. Das heißt, die besten Artikel, Analysen und Kommentare für Sie zu finden, wenn möglich aus lokalen, unabhängigen Medien und mit einem lokalen oder grenzüberschreitenden Blickwinkel.
Wir können jedoch nicht alle diese Artikel übernehmen oder mit unseren Mitgliedern und Lesern teilen. Da nun ein europäisches Land überfallen wird, die Europäische Union ausnahmsweise einmal schnell zu reagieren scheint und sich der Krieg noch viel weiter auszudehnen droht, erscheint es uns wichtig, über die auf Voxeurop veröffentlichten Artikel hinaus zur Verbreitung von Ideen und Informationen zum Verständnis dieses Ereignisses beizutragen.
👉 Lesen Sie mehr über die Ukraine und die russische Invasion
Wir haben daher einen kuratierten Nachrichtenfeed mit den interessantesten Beiträgen aus der europäischen Presse erstellt, den wir fortlaufend aktualisieren. Wir erheben dabei keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit und bitten Sie daher, uns auf Artikel hinzuweisen, die Ihrer Meinung nach in den Feed aufgenommen werden sollten. Wir werden unser Bestes tun, alle Ihre Vorschläge zu lesen und in unsere Auswahl aufzunehmen.

Mykhailo Podoliak has been living in the Presidentʼs Office building for 120 days. He pathetically criticizes the West, openly talks about the necessary weapons and Ukraineʼs losses in the war
During Russiaʼs war with Ukraine, Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Presidentʼs Office Andriy Yermak and now a member of the Ukrainian delegation in talks with Russia, became almost a key speaker of the state. He gives dozens of interviews to Ukrainian, Russian and Western media. Podoliak is not taking part in the talks with Russia, as there are no talks at the moment. Podoliak answers about functions in the Office of the President simply and a bit pathetically: his task is to explain the part of state policy that is necessary for the war to develop in the interests of Ukraine. Simply put, Podoliak scales the statements of Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Andriy Yermak to a larger audience.

Russia’s “demilitarisation” plan Ukraine: why Ukrainians will not disarm
A central element of Moscow’s justification for its “special military operation” is its desire to “demilitarise” Ukraine. Whilst this appears to be one of the Kremlin’s relatively less elusive goals, it is just as unattainable as the other aims.

‘A chance for revenge’ The rise and fall of ‘methodology,’ the school of thought that produced the idea of the ‘Russian world’
The philosopher Georgy Shchedrovitsky and his pupils were the USSR’s first political consultants. Beginning in the 1960s, the so-called “methodologists” advised Communist Party apparatchiks, believing that they could change the society by “reprogramming” the minds of its people. In the 1990s, Shchedrovitsky’s disciples proposed the idea of the “Russian world.” Twenty years later, this concept entered Vladimir Putin’s geopolitical imagination, becoming a pretext for the invasion of Ukraine. Following the invasion, another “methodologist,” Sergey Kiriyenko, has become Putin’s point man in the Donbas. Meduza special correspondent Andrey Pertsev tells the story of the rise and fall of “methodology.”

Who is Putin really fighting?
Russia’s war against Ukraine has unleashed a battle not only between two armies and two societies, but also between two generations of leaders. Indeed, a striking age gap divides Russia and Ukraine’s top brass. Vladimir Putin’s close associates and key officials were largely born in the 1950s and 1960s. Whereas the most important positions in the Ukrainian leadership and on Volodymyr Zelensky’s team are, for the most part, occupied by people born in the 1970s and 1980s. But there’s also another clash of generations, one occurring not at the interstate level, but inside Russia itself. Putin’s contemporaries are afraid to relinquish power and bequeath it to those who should be their successors. Instead, they’ve worked to bring the younger generations of would-be leaders to heel, pushing them to the margins of public space or driving them out of the country altogether.

Denazification done right: How Russian anti-fascists and anarchists are battling Putin’s invasion
Upon attacking Ukraine, Vladimir Putin announced its so-called “denazification” as one of his main goals. While the Kremlin is looking for imaginary Nazis, around 200 Russian anti-fascists and anarchists, who have a broad experience of countering the ultra-right in real life, have sided with Ukraine's Armed Forces. The Insider spoke to three territorial defense fighters and a supply specialist to find out their motivation for taking up arms on Kyiv’s side and whether there are any Nazis in Ukraine.

‘We're all war correspondents now’
How Russia’s full-scale invasion has changed Ukrainian journalism. Russia’s all-out war on Ukraine has been deadly for reporters. The Ukrainian Institute of Mass Information has recorded 243 crimes against journalists and the media committed by Russian troops since the start of the full-scale invasion (as of the end of April). At least 32 journalists have died while reporting on the war or fighting on the front lines. Reporters have been tortured and kidnapped, and as of the end of April, at least 15 Ukrainian media workers had gone missing. Over 100 regional Ukrainian outlets have had to shut down due to threats from Russia. In early May, the Pulitzer Prize committee dedicated a special award to all Ukrainian journalists — for “their bravery, resilience, and commitment to truthful coverage” of the Russian invasion. Five Ukrainian journalists told Meduza about what it’s like to live and work in these unprecedented circumstances.

Political scientist Kirill Rogov on why Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t just ‘Putin’s war’
It will take a lot of time and research to answer the question of what led to Russia’s monstrous war against Ukraine. After Moscow launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, the notion quickly spread around the world that this was “Putin’s war” and that he personally made the decision to invade. In this essay for Meduza’s “Ideas” section, political scientist Kirill Rogov breaks down why this reasoning is more of a convenient pretense than a real explanation of how Russia reached this point.

Un paese diviso? Lingua e identità etnica in Ucraina
L’Ucraina è stata spesso dipinta come un paese strutturalmente diviso tra la minoranza russa e la maggioranza ucraina, tra russofoni e ucrainofoni. Una visione di per sé stilizzata e rigida della realtà e delle complesse identità di un paese, basate oltretutto su una sorprendente mancanza di dati.

Ci sono due modi per denigrare la lotta di sopravvivenza degli ucraini contro l’invasione russa. Il primo è sostenere che l’Ucraina sia un paese nazista perché vi sono attivi partiti e movimenti ultranazionalisti, seppure minoritari e politicamente marginali. Il secondo è affermare che stiamo assistendo a una guerra per procura, che gli ucraini sono solo un proxy americano, il vero conflitto è fra la Russia e gli americani.

On every news channel, you can see cities blasted into rubble by the Russian air force. Desperate streams of people flee the fighting on foot in long ragged columns. The scale of human suffering is immense. Politicians and border agencies who, a few weeks ago, held harsh stances against migrants now fling the gates open because these refugees are different—you see, they are our siblings. “We” have a shared history with “them”.

Putin’s War and Jewish History
The history of Ukraine is inextricably linked with antisemitism, from the pogroms of the Russian Civil War to the Ukrainian nationalist complicity in the Holocaust. Such historical connections have once more come to the fore during Russia's invasion of the country, now lead by a Jewish president. Here, historical sociologist Brendan McGeever writes on this complicated past, and what the present Jewish attachment to the idea of Ukraine means for both Jewish identity and the ongoing history of racism in the region and beyond.

Citizens of the Middle East and North Africa are feeling the impacts of the war in Europe on their food security, energy prices, and job markets. They are torn between sympathizing with Ukrainians fleeing their homes and cities destroyed by Russian weapons and remembering how the world looked away as the same weapons were recking havoc on Syria and Libya only a few years ago. Meanwhile, regional governments, including America’s traditional allies, are hedging their bets between Russia and the U.S.-led Western camp, playing on time to better evaluate the impacts of the war and to ease the restraints it is imposing on the fragile economies and social fabrics of the region.

Why Putin is beholden to Stalin’s legacy
The Russian president has embraced the Soviet cult of fear and control. His invasion of Ukraine is a colossal gamble to secure his place in history.

“Sanctioning oil and gas will become critical”: What the War in Ukraine Means for the EU
The invasion of Ukraine has reshaped European politics in a matter of days. The European Union has imposed unprecedented financial sanctions on Russia yet trade in oil and gas continues to flow. Is energy the next step and, if so, are nuclear and coal back on the table? With Russia advancing and the United States absent, are we set to see a real push for a European army? We discuss key questions for the EU with economist Shahin Vallée.

I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.
The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

Wie Putins Angriffskrieg den Westen zusammengeschweißt hat
Der Ukrainekrieg eint den Westen – politisch, militärisch, moralisch. Was aber fangen die Demokratien der Welt mit dieser Einigkeit an? Gelingt es ihnen, die totale Eskalation des Konflikts zu verhindern?

Une entrée en guerre de l’UE aux côtés de l’Ukraine est-elle possible ?
La guerre russe en Ukraine est un événement puissant en ce qu’il contient sa dynamique propre. Ce qui arrive tient davantage à l’enchaînement des faits qu’à des causes préexistantes.
Or, ce qui se passe incite à imaginer un fait jusqu’alors inenvisageable et inenvisagé : à savoir que l’ensemble des pays de l’Union européenne pourraient collectivement entrer en guerre contre un adversaire commun.

“An information dark age”: Russia’s new “fake news” law has outlawed most independent journalism there

Putin is Evil, Not Mentally Ill, a Psychological Explanation
The west's attempts to rationalise Moscow's moves miss the point — Interview with Roman Kechur: ‘He is a colossus on clay feet. Putin will do one or more other evil things. This will kill more people. But the verdict has already been passed. And it will be implemented soon enough.’

Russia’s war
When war becomes a reality, time is of the essence. Slow political responses raise questions about underlying reasons for reluctance. And as Russia wages war on Ukraine, how the situation is described at distance also matters. How can Putin’s position be pulled back from the black hole of media and political acquiescence?

You can’t silence us Russia’s president will lose, too, when the nation’s free press is gone
We’re publishing this text while there’s still time for us to mark the beginning of yet another historic development: Russia has officially introduced state censorship. What do we mean by “still time”? Within a few days, maybe even today, it is possible that there will be no independent media left in Russia. Very soon, it’s possible that anyone in Russia seeking information from the “enemy voices” of independent sources will need to make the same efforts as those who lived behind the Iron Curtain.

« Le bilan de Poutine à la tête de la Russie est une longue descente aux enfers d’un pays dont il a fait un agresseur »
Pour rendre à la Russie son statut de grande puissance militaire, le chef du Kremlin a sacrifié tout le reste. Il règne aujourd’hui sur une économie bloquée et un pays en guerre dont il a étouffé l’innovation et la créativité, observe dans sa chronique Sylvie Kauffmann, éditorialiste au « Monde ».

The Return of the Brezhnev Doctrine
Despite the warnings, the invasion of Ukraine took the world by surprise. For many, Ukraine was assumed to be a bargaining chip in a wider geopolitical game. What this view tragically overlooked was the central place of Ukraine in Vladimir Putin’s worldview and the much longer history of Russian imperialism.

L’Europa apre le porte ai profughi ucraini
“C’erano bombe giorno e notte, carri armati per strada”. Ha il viso segnato dalla stanchezza, ancora fatica a parlare quando ripensa alle sirene e alle urla che l’hanno svegliata la mattina che Kiev, la sua città, è stata bombardata. Ha detto ai genitori che non poteva più sopportare quella paura: è un’ossessione che ancora la immobilizza, anche adesso che è in salvo.

Not about NATO
It was only after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 that NATO broke off cooperation with Russia. Until then, Ukrainians themselves were largely against NATO membership. To frame NATO as a security threat to Russia caters to Kremlin propaganda.

Documenting and Debunking Dubious Footage from Ukraine’s Frontlines
As Russia’s military escalation in and around Ukraine continues apace, a number of questionable videos and claims have appeared on social media and in Russian state media outlets. All appear to suggest Ukrainian aggression near the country’s border with Russia and two self-declared republics (occupied regions controversially recognised by Russia earlier this week) in the east of the country.
Yet as many researchers and journalists have pointed out, there has been little solid evidence to support many of the claims that have been made thus far. In some cases, open source information even appears to contradict what has been stated.
