Reuters In recent weeks, Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken a number of important steps that will not only affect Ukraine and Russia, but also the rest of the world. Who did he consult while making that decision?  What is the reason for this military action - or the influence of the siloviki group of powerful security chiefs and ministers? It can be said that Russia is a country whose leaders are very powerful. President Vladimir Putin holds the reins of power in the country, and he himself decides all matters affecting the country. However, he is in contact with the National Security Council, especially those he has known and trusted for a long time. There are some well-known security agencies in Russia called siloviki .  Vladimir Putin himself began working in such security agencies like the KGB, and even became the Russian Federal Security Service or FSB. The Slovak group has been gaining momentum since Putin came to power. Five Main Things Important sec...

Residents in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, say windows have collapsed as a result of the powerful blasts, as Ukrainian and Russian forces exchange fire. But fighting is also taking place near the capital Kyiv from the north and at ports on the Black Sea coast and in the cities of Odesa and Mariupol from the south.

Photo: Reuters Russia's two eastern regions are facing a crisis in Russia after President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to infiltrate rebel-held areas. Russia's president says his country recognizes them as independent nations. But what do we know about Donetsk and Luhansk? In 2014 the separatists successfully occupied a vast territory in the two regions and have since declared the establishment of the Donetsk Republic (DNR) and the Luhansk Republic (LNR), on the border with Russia. Ukraine calls them "temporary occupied territories" - as in the case of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. But they all depend on financial and military support from Russia. Russia-backed DNR regional leaders Denis Pushilin and LNR Leonid Pasechnik won the 2018 general election without international support.  The two leaders called for the Russian Federation. Where are Luhansk and Donetsk on the map? photo: google The two breakaway regions belong to th...
