NAnews Israel News Nikk.Agency regularly updates the “CIS” section to help readers follow developments across the post-Soviet space and understand why they matter for Israel, Ukraine and the Jewish world.

Kyiv under fire again: 419 targets overnight, residential buildings in ruins, and a question to Ukraine’s allies

On the night of July 6, 2026, Kyiv woke up not to alarms, not to the noise of traffic, and not to the usual city life. It woke up to explosions. Russian terrorists launched a massive combined strike on Ukraine, with the main target being Kyiv. This was already the second heavy strike on the […]

Buffer zone as a screen: which territories Putin is trying to take from Ukraine

Russian rhetoric about ‘border security’ once again looks like an attempt to cover up the Kremlin’s old goal — not to end the war, but to expand the occupation in Ukraine. Material from July 5, 2026, by the American Institute for the Study of War: analysts believe that Moscow seeks not only military ‘security’ but […]

Secret prisons in occupied territories: how Russia turned the abduction of Ukrainian civilians into a system

Тайные тюрьмы на оккупированных территориях: как Россия превратила похищение украинских гражданских в систему

Ukrainian researchers have dissected the Russian pseudo-legal system molecule by molecule, through which the regime kidnaps Ukrainian civilians, deprives them of freedom, and holds them in secret prisons incommunicado — without contact with relatives, lawyers, and the outside world. In Russia’s war against Ukraine, there is a topic that remains less visible than the front, […]

Not only ‘Galicia’: Russian national formations in the service of the Third Reich and the uncomfortable memory of World War II

Russian propaganda has been using World War II as a political weapon for decades. When it needs to attack Ukraine, it repeatedly recalls the SS Division ‘Galicia’, the battalions ‘Nachtigall’ and ‘Roland’, Ukrainian nationalism, individual episodes of collaborationism, and wartime crimes. But as soon as it comes to Russian formations that served the Third Reich, […]

How the Russian ‘court’ propagandist Solovyov tried to insult Ukrainian Rabbi Asman but revealed his own moral low

Как российский «придворный» пропагандист Соловьёв пытался оскорбить украинского раввина Асмана, но показал собственное моральное дно

Russian “court” propagandist Vladimir Solovyov on the air of the program “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” on June 30, 2026, attacked the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Asman after his meeting with Dmitry Korchinsky. At first glance, Solovyov tried to talk about the memory of the Holocaust, about the six million murdered Jews, about the painful […]

Gasoline, drones, and the fear of truth: how Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s energy sector became a blow to Putin’s image

The Russian war against Ukraine is increasingly returning to Russia itself not only with reports of drones, closed airports, and fires at oil depots. Now it returns with queues at gas stations, restrictions on fuel sales, talks about importing gasoline, and public nervousness of those who just yesterday were obliged to explain to Russians that […]

Russia – the “pus” country: Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Nikopol, and Ukraine’s energy have once again become targets of the Kremlin

Россия — террорист: Днепр, Запорожье, Никополь и энергетика Украины снова стали мишенями Кремля

On June 29, 2026, Russia once again showed that its war against Ukraine is not just the front, not just missiles on military targets, and not just another combat report. It is systemic terror against civilians. On this day, the Russian army struck Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Nikopol, the energy infrastructure of Sumy, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions. […]

Tigran and Nikita from Berdyansk: three years after the murder of teenagers by Russia who said ‘Glory to Ukraine’

June 24, 2026 marked three years since the death of Tigran Ohannisyan and Nikita Khanghanov — two 16-year-old Ukrainian teenagers from temporarily occupied Berdyansk. Their names have become a symbol not only of resistance to occupation but also of how the Russian war system works against children: first pressure, then abductions and interrogations, then charges […]

Great-grandson of Leonid Brezhnev captured by Ukrainians – fought to the end?

The story of Anton Milaev became notable not because of his military rank or the scale of the operation. It became symbolic because a person associated with the surname of Leonid Brezhnev — one of the main figures of the Soviet era, which today’s Russia tries to use as an ideological cover for its war […]

The Kremlin itself acknowledged the failure of the ‘spirit of Anchorage’: Moscow expected a deal on Donbass but was disappointed

A new nervous term has appeared in Russian diplomacy — more precisely, an old term that is now beginning to crumble before our eyes. We are talking about the so-called “spirit of Anchorage” — a formula that Moscow has been trying to use for almost a year to explain that after the meeting between Donald […]
