Today, on Jan. 22, we remember two very important events in Ukraine’s modern history: the 107th anniversary of the declaration of Ukraine’s independence in Kyiv by the country’s parliament of that time – the Central Rada; and, the 106th anniversary of the Act of Union agreed to by the Ukrainian People’s Republic (Ukrainian acronym - UNR) and the West Ukrainian Peoples Republic (ZUNR). Unfortunately, the first of them is still not recognized officially as befits its significance.

From the Editors: President Zelensky spoke at a meeting of Ukraine’s supporters on Jan. 9 at the US air base Ramstein in Germany, the last such gathering of allies in this format before Donald Trump takes office in Washington on Jan. 20. The Ukrainian leader later announced that Ukraine’s Western allies had pledged an additional $2 billion in military assistance. Ladies and gentlemen!

There are poets who captivate with their magical grasp of thoughts, impressions, feelings and the ability to convey them in an appropriate choice of words and structure. And there are those among them who immediately penetrate one’s own inner self and one’s own receptivity. And you can immediately identify with their insights and messages.

Greetings on day one of the New Year. Already, the new annual chapter in our lives has brought some noteworthy events, signaling what could be an unpredictable year. As 2025 dawned, there were no surprises from Russia’s barbaric mode of addressing the outside world while others were celebrating, nor any signs of peace, joy, family reunification, and international solidarity.

2024 was another very difficult year for Ukraine. Although it managed to hold its ground in the bloody fight against the Russian aggressor with the support of its Western backers, it had reason to feel disappointed and was ultimately left hanging in the uncertainty of what 2025 would bring.

Greetings friends. It’s Dec. 25 and I’ve got John Lennon’s “So this is Christmas” song playing over and over in my head. Especially his idealistic refrain: “War is over.” I wish it were, but it’s not. Christmas is supposed to be a joyous celebration that evokes peace, joy and optimism. But for embattled Ukraine and its supporters, this year is unfortunately another bleak one. Follow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.

As the leader of a country embattled now for almost three years in an intensive war with Russia, and for over ten years in a simmering military struggle with its rapacious neighbor, President Volodymyr Zelensky has shown considerable ingenuity and courage in an increasingly difficult situation.

In this edition of Agenda: The World, we speak with Bohdan Nahaylo, Chief Editor of Kyiv Post, an English-language Ukrainian media outlet. What is the situation on the battlefield, what are the consequences of increased Russian attacks on cities and infrastructure, and also what is expected of Donald Trump and his envoy Keith Kellogg, and who should be the architect of a truce in Eastern Europe? What outcome is realistic?

Attention is rightly focussed on Georgia, where pro-European forces are battling it out on the streets against a pro-Russian government and its security forces. With the fate of that country hanging in the balance, the scenes from Tbilisi are strongly reminiscent of the internal pro-democracy protests in Ukraine in Kyiv and elsewhere, which in fact became revolutions – the Orange Revolution of 2004 and the Revolution of Dignity in the capital’s central Maidan Square in late 2013 and early 2014.

George Orwell, the classic British author of dystopian novels who rejected totalitarianism in all its forms while being an advocate of democratic socialism, is not always appreciated as much as he deserves for recognizing the importance of Ukraine and the suffering it endured. And the relevance of the Ukrainian experience to him, particularly with regard to the Holodomor, needs to be reviewed in the context of today’s realities and implications for us all.
