Tag: CIS

The “CIS” section on NAnews is dedicated to events, processes and decisions taking place across the post-Soviet region and affecting Israel, Ukraine, Jewish communities, repatriates and the wider Russian-speaking audience.

Here you will find news, analysis and explanatory articles about the countries of the former Soviet Union: politics, security, migration, economy, social change, international relations and regional conflicts.

Special attention is given to topics directly connected to Israel: aliyah, the situation of Jewish communities, relations between CIS countries and Jerusalem, the impact of russia’s war against Ukraine, sanctions policy, diplomatic crises and shifts in public opinion.

This section helps readers understand how developments in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, the Caucasus, Central Asia and other countries of the region affect life in Israel and the international agenda.

For Russian-speaking Israelis and immigrants from the post-Soviet space, this topic is especially important. Many families, businesses, cultural ties and personal stories remain connected to the region. That is why CIS news is not only about foreign policy, but also about the daily reality of a large community in Israel.

This page features articles about political decisions, public protests, military threats, diplomacy, civil rights, economic changes and humanitarian issues shaping the new map of the region after 2022.

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.

No, this is not Kiryat Shmona: this is the story of a Ukrainian village Vyshetarasivka, which also faced the war alone

Нет, это не Кирьят-Шмона: это история одного украинского села Вищетарасівка, которое также осталось один на один с войной

No, this is not Kiryat Shmona after another attack by Hezbollah from the Lebanese direction. This is not an Israeli border town where people know what alarms, evacuations, empty streets, closed schools, fear of drones, and waiting for a new rocket are. In the video is the Ukrainian village of Vyshetarasivka in the Nikopol district […]

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, […]

The Hague prepares a tribunal for Russia: why it is important for Israel and how the Kremlin will disrupt the process

Work on the creation of a Special Tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine has been ongoing since 2022. This is not a quick process or a television gesture, but a complex political and legal structure where each decision must withstand the pressure of time, diplomacy, and future attacks from Kremlin propaganda. According […]

Kyiv after the night attack: 19 dead, child under the rubble, and a question to Ukraine’s allies

On the night of July 6, 2026, Russian terrorists launched another massive combined strike on Ukraine. The main target was once again Kyiv. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the attack began on the evening of July 5 and included 419 aerial attack assets: 68 missiles of various types and 351 drones. Among them were […]

PRISON AS A ‘BOND’: why ‘Brigade’, ‘Brother’, and ‘A Man’s Word’ explain Russia better than official speeches

ТЮРЬМА КАК «СКРЕПА»: почему «Бригада», «Брат» и «Слово пацана» объясняют Россию лучше, чем официальные речи

Understanding modern Russia through ceremonial formulas, state slogans, and pseudo-historical manifestos has long been impossible. The structure of this system is much more accurately revealed elsewhere: in the language of the zone, in the cult of power, in the hierarchy of ‘pahan — six’, in the romanticization of the bandit as a hero, and in […]

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, […]

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 […]
