"The first refugees that crossed the border were housed in the municipal hub, which at that time could accommodate from 1,000 to 3,000, even 4,000 people. We set up 45 centres and we had days when it was necessary to accommodate and provide hot meals and all kind of care: medical care, social assistance, psychological assistance, especially to women and kids, before they left Moldova. Refugees generally stayed three days to five days in Chișinău before moving on. This happened mainly until May 15th 2022. After that, the situation became a little bit easier to manage. Fortunately, we had a lot of people come out and help. There were civilians who provided meals, clothes and other necessities, but there were also private businesses which were involved in helping to manage this process."

“What remains?” asks German journalist Günter Gaus of Hannah Arendt during a 1964 television interview. The transcript of this conversation is well known in English, and Arendt’s famous answer is most often rendered as “What remains? Language remains.” However, what Arendt really says is “Was bleibt? Es bleibt die Muttersprache.” Muttersprache means mother tongue, or in the patriarchal Polish, “father tongue”. Italians say Madrelingua. In Ukrainian, it is рідна мова, or literally, native speech. It is a language we do not choose.

This past winter Ukraine and the world commemorated the events that took place a decade ago. This was namely when Ukrainians rose up in peaceful protest in support of the country’s European integration. In November 2013, the EU and Ukraine were meant to sign an association agreement at the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius. However, at the very last minute, Ukraine’s then president, Viktor Yanukovych, announced that he would not sign the document. Yanukovych’s decision was met with outrage and frustration in Ukrainian society, which saw European integration as a vision for a better future. If not for them, then at least for their children and grandchildren.

Ukraine’s path to EU integration involves reforms across a large number of sectors. Among these is the country’s system of legal education, which still continues to struggle with inefficiencies that can be traced back to the old Soviet system. Change is therefore crucial for ensuring the country’s democratic future.

Before the war in Croatia between 1991 and 1995, the small village of Lončari, situated in the central part of the country and belonging to Zadar County, was home to approximately 120 people, primarily of Serbian nationality. After they fled in 1995 following the military operation “Storm”, during which the Croatian army liberated a significant portion of territory previously under the control of Serbian rebels, the homes inhabited by Serbians remained abandoned for years. Many of these homes were used as stables by local residents, who kept goats and sheep in them.

Earlier this year, the presidents of Poland and Lithuania, accompanied by the leader of the Belarusian democratic opposition in exile, celebrated together in Vilnius the 161st anniversary of the January Uprising. This event was fought by the nobility and intelligentsia of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the years 1863-64 against Russian imperial rule.

"We’ve seen reporting that President Zelenskyy is going to present his victory plan to President Joe Biden in the United States within the next month. Therefore, I think that’s the plan. I think the plan was to wrestle the initiative back again, which they have done, to embarrass Putin domestically and internationally, and to show that yet another red line has been crossed. I think Zelenskyy will give a very detailed and impassioned plan to Biden and ask him to take the gloves off and let the Ukrainians push for victory."

Russia regards war, in which the battlefield is the human mind, as a full-fledged struggle that precedes or even replaces military action. It involves not only the formation of certain beliefs, but also the alteration of the opponent’s way of thinking and acting in order to effectively manipulate the behaviour of individuals and communities. Such actions can ultimately remove an enemy’s willingness to resist.

The war in Ukraine is now reaching a turning point that could see the war-torn country either win or lose the conflict. The West is subsequently faced with the question of whether it will truly back Kyiv in its aim to achieve victory. Such a decision will have consequences for the entire world order.

Call for applications!

Are you a journalist, media activist, or blogger coming from or focusing on issues affecting minority communities, such as ethnic groups, gender/LGBTQ+ identities, or disability rights? In that case you are invited to apply for a unique opportunity to participate in a series of workshops, discussions, and networking activities focused on promoting inclusivity in European media. The program will be held on 14-16 October, in Kraków, Poland.

During this two-day program the Jan Nowak-Jezioranski College of Eastern Europe and New Eastern Europe editors will engage with journalists from across the EU representing also minority communities to address these issues. The workshops will help participants to understand bias in media (gender, ethnic and racial, socio-economic, disability, religious), build strategies for collaboration, discuss combatting hate, and online security.

This project is aimed at young journalists (between the ages of 22-35) based in the European Union. Participants should be working as journalists or widely understood as working in the media sphere (including freelancers, editors, bloggers, podcasters) within media organizations (private or public) of any size.

The Moldovan government has recently made an effort to move closer to the European Union. This has been particularly true following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As the country heads towards pivotal elections in the autumn, people across the country are trying to work out what is best for the future.

The recent prisoner swap with Russia in early August marked the largest East-West exchange since the Cold War. Despite this, little has been said about the absence of Belarus in these agreements. A renewed effort is now needed to help the many political prisoners still held by Minsk.

EU leaders’ decision to start accession negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine has put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership which was never designed to handle enlargement. The time is therefore ripe for a geopolitically more assertive EU to geographically reimagine and thematically widen its Eastern policy. Substituting the obsolete Eastern Partnership for a new Trans-Caspian Partnership could be the solution. In the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the desire to forge closer ties with the EU has increased following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The start of the summer saw the Russian military launch an attack that destroyed much of the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv. As the world witnessed the harrowing scenes that followed the bombing, investigations began to piece together what exactly happened. As expected, however, there has been no cooperation from Moscow.

his year marks the 80th anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, which reminds us of the double tragedy these people face. First in 1944, on Stalin’s orders, they were displaced from their homeland. Second, when after years of struggle, they returned home and rebuilt their lives in independent Ukraine. Despite this, Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation in 2014. Since 2022, when the full-scale invasion started, the peninsula has been turned into a base for the Russian army.

In 2023 Belarus ranked 167th out of 180 countries in press freedom, according to Reporters Without Borders. Since the political protests in 2020, the regime of Alyaksandr Lukashenka intensified its persecution of the free press. Currently, there are 35 journalists imprisoned on criminal charges, serving sentences in prisons where they face torture and isolation from the outside world and their families. From 2020 to 2023, nearly 600 journalists and media professionals were arrested, according to Press Club Belarus.

Much has been written about the Turkish involvement in the South Caucasus in 2020, when the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh re-ignited after a period of calming. As expected, Turkey supported Azerbaijan, its close ally. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called on the Armenian government to withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh and gave assurances that Ankara would support Baku militarily if necessary. There were even rumours that a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down an Armenian plane, which was denied by Ankara.

Already before the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022, Montenegro was always a country of longing and emigration equally among Russian and Ukrainian citizens. Linguistic similarities and the common Orthodox faith serve as the basis of this attraction. Yet, linguistic and religious interplays were by far not the only reason for Russian and Ukrainian emigration to Montenegro.
