Territorial Autónoma de Gagauzia, o simplemente Gagauzia) se estableció en Moldavia a principios de la década de 1990. También tienen comunidades en la parte suroeste de la región de Odesa. 2/15
La orientación política de Gagauzia es claramente prorrusa. Los sentimientos de la población están moldeados principalmente por las narrativas y los medios de comunicación rusos, lo que se ve facilitado por el hecho de que la población es mayoritariamente rusoparlante. 3/15

The political orientation of Gagauzia is distinctly pro-Russian. The population’s sentiments are shaped mainly by Russian narratives and Russian media, which is facilitated by the fact that the population is mostly Russian-speaking. 3/15

There are similarities and differences between #Georgian Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008 and Ukrainian #Donbas and #Crimea in 2014. 2/11
The similarities are that #Russia was the main driving force for the separatist aspirations of these regions. Russia was instrumental in making these entities successful on the ground and expelling legitimate state authorities from the territories in question. 3/11
What is behind the Pope’s ambiguous statements about Russia’s war? UkraineWorld spoke to Dmytro Horyevoy, religious scholar, director of the Center for Religious Security NGO. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/8
We perceive the Pope from a European, rational, thoughtful point of view. But this is from the Global South, and thus from a completely different context. And this involves differences in perspective that may not be obvious. 2/8
Nowadays, the majority of the Catholic Church’s flock is made up of people in the Global South, rather than Europeans and Americans. And these statements, which seem strange, are contextually dependent, because our war is something completely distant for the Global South. 3/8

In the fall of 2022, Moscow declared that four Ukrainian regions – Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson - were to be incorporated into the Russian Federation. 2/8
They did this despite not exercising full control over these territories, as they had never controlled places like Zaporizhzhya and soon lost control of places like Kherson. 3/8
The Transnistria region of the Republic of Moldova: threats and current situation. UkraineWorld spoke to Serhiy Herasymchuk, expert of Ukrainian Prism Foreign Policy Council. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/14
The situation in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova has always been difficult for a number of reasons. First, there are the so-called Russian peacekeepers, who have official status as a result of the 1992 agreement between the Republic of Moldova and Russia. 2/14
Second, there is the operational group of Russian troops guarding the ammunition depot in the village of Kolbasna. The latter troops were supposed to have been withdrawn in accordance with the decision of the OSCE summits of 1999 and 2001. 3/14

Les 9 années de la guerre menée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine ont été marquées par plusieurs histoires de prisonniers politiques. Dans les territoires qu'elle occupe, la Russie jette en prison les citoyens pro-ukrainiens. 2/14
Certains prisonniers politiques criméens se trouvent dans un centre de détention à Simferopol en attente de leur jugement ; d'autres ont été déportés en Russie. Les prisonniers n'ont souvent pas droit à un avocat et n'ont pas accès à des soins médicaux. 3/14

Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure is complete and solid. Today, we rate the work of NABU, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, and the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine (HACC) at a high level. 2/9
SAPO finally has a leader, and this explains the intensification of investigations. For example, in the second half of 2022, NABU detectives and SAPO prosecutors exposed 149 people, which is more than in 12 months of 2021. 3/9

Crimean Tatar resistance: a historical thirst for freedom. UkraineWorld spoke to Alim Aliyev, Deputy General Director at the Ukrainian Institute. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/14
The last 9 years of Russia’s war against Ukraine have been characterized by the taking of political prisoners. In the territories it occupied, Russia threw people with pro-Ukrainian positions behind bars and continues to do so in the newly occupied territories. 2/14
Some Crimean political prisoners are in the pre-trial detention center in Simferopol, while others have been deported to different parts of 🇷🇺. In addition to the problem of prisoners’ access to their lawyers, political prisoners also lack access to medical care. 3/14
The Ukrainian economy in 2023: expectations and current state. UkraineWorld spoke to Serhiy Fursa, an investment banker. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/6
There is no pressure right now on Ukraine’s currency thanks to Western support. At the moment, the National Bank of Ukraine is able to keep the hryvnia at its current pegs. 2/6
Western support will continue until the end of this year. The only factor that would lead to the hryvnia depreciating is a request by the Ministry of Finance to allow it to fall in order to fund the budget. 3/6

Guerre russo-ukrainienne : quelle est la position de la Chine ? D'après Oleksiy Koval, journaliste international et spécialiste de la Chine, elle se base sur un conflit d'intérêts. Découvrez son analyse de la situation dans notre thread. 1/12

#UkraineWorldAnalysis
Cette année, la Chine s'est donnée pour but d'améliorer ses relations avec les États-Unis et l'Europe. En effet, le secrétaire d'État américain Anthony Blinken devait se rendre en Chine le 5 février, suite à l'accord entre les présidents Xi et Biden lors du sommet du G20. 2/12
Il y a deux facteurs qui joueront sur le rapprochement de la Chine avec l'Occident :
1. Ses relations avec la 🇷🇺. La Chine essaye de maintenir son partenariat avec la Russie, tout en travaillant sur ses relations diplomatiques avec l'🇪🇺 et les 🇺🇸. 3/12

🇹🇷 Turkey's support for Ukraine and cooperation with Russia: highlights. UkraineWorld spoke to Yevgeniya Gaber, senior fellow at the Centre in Modern Turkish Studies. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/12
Turkey is consistent in its support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, though its rhetoric on Russia is generally very soft. Turkey stresses the importance of the full de-occupation of Ukraine, including Crimea, but calls for negotiations with Russia. 2/12
So, the question remains how to reach this goal. For a successful counter-offensive, it will be critical for Ukraine to be supplied with long-range weapons, tanks, and fighter jets, as well as for stronger sanctions to be levied against Russia. 3/12
The Middle East: risks and challenges for Ukraine. UkraineWorld spoke to Ihor Semyvolos, Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/7
Israel is trying to prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons and delivery platforms. The strikes on Iran were aimed at ballistic missile production sites that are potentially capable of reaching Israeli territory. 2/7
Negotiations are ongoing, but the situation is unclear. Moscow and Tehran do not trust each other. Moscow has also promised Iran both planes and air defense equipment, but handing over the planes would mean a confrontation with neutral Israel. 3/7
China's policy on the Russo-Ukraine war: A conflict of interest. UkraineWorld spoke to Oleksiy Koval, international journalist, China specialist. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/14
China has set a goal of improving relations with the US and Europe this year. Moreover, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will visit China on February 5, in accordance with the agreement reached between Presidents Xi and Biden at the G20 summit. 2/14
There are two aspects that determine whether China will manage to improve its relations with the West: 1. China's relations with Russia. China is trying to maintain its partnership with Russia while also improving relations with Europe and the US. 3/14
Tanks, strike aircraft and armored vehicles: brief overview of weaponry for Ukraine. UkraineWorld spoke to Ivan Kyrychevsky, military expert at Defense Express Media & Consulting Company. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/12
The number of Abrams tanks in the world is greater than the number of Leopards. Between the 21 countries which operate Leopards, there are about 400 total tanks, while the US Army alone has 2,600 tanks in service and approximately 3,600 in storage. 2/12
Tornado strike aircraft, which are now being discussed, are now in the condition of "flying coffins". Merkel's government failed to purchase the F-35 fighter jets that were supposed to replace the Tornado. 3/12
Battles on the field of memory politics: Ukrainian VS Russian approaches. UkraineWorld spoke to Anton Drobovych, the head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/12
RU society’s culture of memory is, to a large extent, based on the Soviet narrative of WW II, or as it is called in RU, the “Great Patriotic War.” The cult of victory replaced all other aspects of the war in the RU collective consciousness, particularly its human dimension. 2/12
And this model of remembering which they finally settled on is aggressive and revanchist. On one hand, it feeds RU chauvinism and the idea of RU exceptionalism. On the other hand, it is rooted in the revanchist logic like “we reached Berlin once, we can do it again”. 3/12
How has German policy towards Ukraine evolved? UkraineWorld spoke to Andreas Umland, analyst at Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/10
One approach to understanding the German behavior in the Russia-Ukrainian war is to see it as representative of a more general problem. Participating in this kind of military conflict is a new field of foreign policy for Germany. 2/10
🇩🇪 foreign policy was mainly focused on diplomacy, developmental projects, cultural exchange, and economic investments. The 🇩🇪 government is so slow in dealing with this war in Europe as it has no recent tradition or developed mechanisms for managing this kind of situation. 3/10
How should we understand Ukrainian society and its language? UkraineWorld spoke to Orysya Demska, professor at the National University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy”. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/13
We can find the origins of linguicide in the idea of the Russian Empire, which claimed to be the heir of Kyivan Rus. It insisted on the bizarre idea that all people spoke the same language, which was not the case. 2/13
It is important for an empire to have one language because it is economically efficient. Another factor is that for many people of the former and current Russian empire, the Russian language is a second, non-native language. 3/13
Quelle est la situation sur le front ? UkraineWorld a interrogé Oleh Jdanov, expert militaire. La réponse dans notre thread. #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/10
