About our Ukraine Politics news
Latest news on Ukraine politics, covering war with Russia, Zelenskyy administration, Verkhovna Rada, martial law, international support, reconstruction efforts, and key political developments amid the conflict.
Ukraine's political landscape is dominated by the ongoing war with Russia, which began with the full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy leads the country under martial law, with his Servant of the People party holding a majority in the 450-seat Verkhovna Rada (parliament). The war has reshaped every aspect of Ukrainian politics and society.
Recent developments include Ukraine's counteroffensive operations, ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure international support, and the complex process of EU accession talks amid wartime conditions. The government continues to push for more military aid from Western allies while also focusing on internal reforms and anti-corruption measures, even as the country faces the enormous challenges of defending its territory and sovereignty.
The war's impact on Ukraine's population of over 44 million is profound. Millions have been displaced, with many seeking refuge abroad. Those remaining face the daily realities of life in a country at war, from air raid sirens to energy infrastructure attacks. Despite these hardships, Ukrainians continue to display remarkable resilience, with volunteer movements and civil society playing crucial roles in supporting both the military and civilians.
Ukraine's current struggle is deeply rooted in its complex history with Russia, from the Soviet era through independence, the Orange Revolution of 2004-2005, to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and conflict in Donbas. These events have shaped Ukraine's national identity and its citizens' resolve to defend their country's independence and European aspirations.
