Ukraine’s independence-era voices say Russia’s effort to keep control has lasted decades
SUMMARY: Oleksandr Donii, a leader of Ukraine’s 1990 student protests, expected a long struggle for independence, but Ukraine declared sovereignty quickly after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Despite independence, Russia maintained influence through political pressure and social division, culminating in the 2022 invasion. Early reform efforts failed to oust the Soviet-era rulers, and Ukrainian society was deeply divided. Key mistakes included surrendering Ukraine’s nuclear arsenal under Russian pressure, receiving little in return beyond the weak Budapest Memorandum security assurances. These early compromises have significantly impacted Ukraine’s ongoing fight for sovereignty, European integration, and survival against Russian aggression.

Texas Gov. Abbott vows to approve GOP-leaning congressional voting map
SUMMARY: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pledged to quickly sign a new GOP-favored congressional map designed to help Republicans maintain their slim House majority. The Texas Legislature approved the redistricting plan, which adds five Republican-leaning seats, amid fierce Democratic opposition and accusations of unlawfully diluting minority votes. Democrats vowed legal challenges, citing Voting Rights Act violations. This move aligns with broader national GOP efforts, encouraged by Trump, to redraw maps in states like Indiana and Missouri ahead of the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, Democratic-controlled states like California employ independent commissions to create maps favoring their party, intensifying the partisan redistricting battle.
