THE COSSACKS OF UKRAINE

Cossack is derived from the Turkic word for free man. They were  defiant, resistant and independent. In the 1600s, the Ukrainian Cossacks were able to establish some of the earliest versions of a Ukrainian state. The Cossacks weren't just some homogenous, heroic group of freedom fighters; they could be quite brutal. They also carried out massacres of Jews in the region in the 17th century. Yet today, for many Ukrainians, the Cossacks represent resistance to outside control.

ITALY’S CONSERVATIVE BLOC MANIFESTO

Italy's conservative bloc will cut taxes, crack down on immigration and scrap the current system of welfare benefits if it wins next month's election as expected, the group said in a joint manifesto. The conservative bloc includes Giorgia Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy, Matteo Salvini's right-wing League, Silvio Berlusconi's conservative Forza Italia and several minor centrist allies.

RECOGNIZING OUR CO-BELLIGERENT STATUS

A state becomes a party to an ongoing interstate armed conflict when it provides significant operational, logistical, or intelligence support to an existing, active belligerent. States that are currently providing Ukraine with such assistance have thus already entered the armed conflict against Russia. That conclusion should not, however, lead those states to curtail their support of Ukraine’s war effort. Instead, they should redouble their efforts to support the collective defense of Ukraine in full recognition of their participation in the war.

REFORMING THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL

A critical issue in the U.N. is the veto power of Security Council members.
