"Volunteers daily risk their lives to evacuate civilians from the indiscriminate Russian onslaught near Ukraine’s frontlines – they need careful planning, resources, and luck to survive." David Kirichenko explains that volunteers from the nonprofit Dobra Sprava have rescued over 40,000 people, facing constant threats from shelling and drones. The team works to ensure the safety of evacuees while also overcoming challenges such as disinformation campaigns that deter people from seeking help.

"The battlefield exploits of the Cossacks are at the forefront of East European military folklore; now, the Kremlin is using their reputation to help feed the meat grinder in Ukraine." Richard Arnold examines how the Kremlin is recruiting Cossacks as volunteers to fight alongside conscripts. With approximately 50,000 Cossacks involved in the conflict, many are drawn by financial incentives and the promise of educational opportunities for their families. The Russian government has manipulated the Cossack movement, creating new hosts in historically non-Cossack areas and promoting a narrative that blurs the lines between authenticity and opportunity.

"Hybrid warfare is getting ever closer to the line of all-out warfare. As usual, the Baltic states are the testing ground." Eitvydas Bajarunas discusses the emergence of hybrid warfare tactics in Lithuania, highlighted by the arrival of balloons from Belarus carrying contraband. While these incidents may seem benign, they raise concerns about potential threats. The balloons illustrate how unconventional methods can blur the lines between civilian activities and security risks, prompting Lithuania to enhance its airspace defense strategies and underscoring the need for vigilance and preparedness against evolving hybrid threats.

"Putin can still find the money for the war against Ukraine, but he will one day face the same dilemmas as his failed Soviet predecessors." Alexander Kolyandr discusses Russia's increasing military budget as it prepares for a prolonged war, despite anticipated declines in oil revenue. The government plans to raise military spending, marking a transition to a war-focused economy, with reliance on non-oil taxes for funding. The Kremlin faces potential long-term challenges, reminiscent of past Soviet dilemmas, as it prioritizes military needs over societal welfare, which may ultimately strain living standards and economic stability.
