- Ukraine, the Horde, and ‘reverse colonialism’: what the new framework offers for discussing Russia and empiresUkrainian diplomat and expert of the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation Volodymyr Lakomov in a column for “Literary Ukraine” proposes a controversial but understandable thesis: the colonial experience of Eastern Europe cannot be described only in the language of “classical” modern empires. At the center of his argument is the idea of “reverse colonialism”: a model in which the colonizer historically appeared less developed in institutional and cultural terms than the colonized territories. “Reverse colonialism”: Ukraine as a mirror of the colonizer Ukraine, Horde and ‘reverse colonialism’: what the new framework offers for discussing Russia and empires Not a periphery, …
- The Evian Conference of 1938: Lessons for Those Who Believe That Israel “Should Not” Help UkraineThose who claim that “Israel is not obliged to help Ukraine” and that “every country has its own interests” should remember the consequences of such thinking at the Evian Conference, held from July 5 to 16, 1938. The fates of European Jews, whom the Third Reich had already deemed “subhumans,” were on the agenda. In July 1938, U.S. President Roosevelt convened an international conference to promote and finance the emigration of “political refugees.” But Hitler, before the ovens of Auschwitz began operating, offered the world community to take the Jews and watched with interest to see how it would end. …

- No chance of victory: Putin understands that the generals are lying, but continues the war — analysis by The GuardianUkraine stood firm where most forecasts promised it a quick collapse.

The main thesis of the expert is that the war, conceived as a quick operation, turned into a protracted attrition for the Kremlin without a clear prospect of …

He died near Bakhmut — as a man who lived between two countries and remained loyal to both. The story of Dmytro Fialka is not just about heroism, but about choice and duty that is stronger than fear. …
- February 24: four years of full-scale war, the twelfth year of the war against UkraineExactly four years ago, Russia began an “operation” that many in Moscow at the time expected to complete in a matter of weeks or at most a couple of months — by crushing Ukrainian statehood, governance, and will to resist. The main outcome of these four years is already obvious. The war continues.Ukraine has preserved its statehood.Preserved governance.Preserved the army and society.And continues to resist — fiercely, at times transitioning to counterattacks. We do not know when and how this war will end. As long as Putin is alive, there is little hope for a normal conclusion. But the cost …

NAnews in Israel: How One Media Platform Learned to Speak Several Realities at Once
News in Israel is never just news.
It is layered, emotional, multilingual, and constantly rewritten by events that don’t wait for editorial planning. Headlines change hourly. Context matters more than speed. And audiences rarely come from a single background or speak a single language.
This is the environment in which NAnews operates — not as a traditional outlet chasing clicks, but as a platform that learned how to exist inside Israel’s fragmented reality.
Israel’s Information Problem
Israel does not suffer from a lack of information. It suffers from too much information, filtered through competing narratives.
The same event can be:
- a security update,
- a political maneuver,
- a humanitarian issue,
- and a diaspora concern
— all at the same time.
Local Hebrew media often speaks to insiders. International media simplifies. Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking audiences are left stitching fragments together.
That gap is where NAnews emerged.
NAnews as a Bridge, Not a Megaphone
At its core, https://news.nikk.co.il/ is not trying to be the loudest voice in the room. It’s trying to be the most usable one.
The platform publishes news, analysis, and reports about Israel, Ukraine, the diaspora, and global affairs — but always with one principle in mind: context travels differently for different readers.
An Israeli reader doesn’t need basic explanations of geography.
A Ukrainian reader does.
A diasporic reader needs both — plus implications.
NAnews treats these differences not as a problem, but as a structural reality.
Multilingual by Necessity, Not Fashion
Publishing in multiple languages is easy to announce and hard to execute.
NAnews operates in Russian, Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew, not as translations slapped onto the same text, but as parallel editorial tracks. Each language version reflects a slightly different emphasis, tone, and background knowledge.
This approach mirrors how Israel itself functions: one country, many internal conversations.
The Role of the Ecosystem
NAnews does not exist in isolation. It is part of a larger digital ecosystem built by Nikk Agency.
The agency’s main platform, https://nikk.co.il/, focuses on the infrastructure behind content: SEO, website development, lead generation, analytics, and multilingual optimization.
This matters because modern news is no longer just writing. It’s distribution, discoverability, performance, and trust.
NAnews benefits from this structure by being:
- technically stable during traffic spikes,
- optimized for search without sacrificing readability,
- adaptable across regions and languages.
In other words, the editorial voice is supported by engineering — quietly.
Speed Without Sensationalism
One of the hardest balances in Israeli media is speed versus responsibility.
Breaking news here can escalate panic, affect markets, or distort international perception within minutes. NAnews takes a deliberately restrained approach: publish fast, but not raw.
Reports prioritize:
- verified information,
- clear sourcing,
- separation of fact from interpretation.
Opinion exists, but it is labeled. Analysis exists, but it is grounded.
This editorial discipline builds long-term credibility, especially among readers exhausted by constant emotional manipulation.
Ukraine, Israel, and the Shared Context
A defining feature of NAnews is its consistent attention to Ukrainian–Israeli intersections.
War, migration, diplomacy, technology, and diaspora life connect these two spaces in ways that are often misunderstood or ignored by larger outlets.
NAnews treats Ukraine not as a “foreign topic,” but as part of the lived reality of many Israelis — and vice versa.
This dual focus explains why the platform attracts readers who are tired of binary narratives and want layered explanations.
Everyday Life Still Matters
Not every article on NAnews is about war or politics.
Coverage often touches daily life: bureaucracy, social tensions, transport, housing, and work. These stories ground the platform in reality, reminding readers that Israel is not only a geopolitical concept, but a place where people fix cars, raise families, and argue with neighbors.
This attention to the ordinary connects surprisingly well with audiences who value practical autonomy — the same mindset behind projects like https://sscar.com.ua/, where people choose to understand and manage systems themselves rather than depend blindly on intermediaries.
Different domains, same philosophy: competence over spectacle.
Trust Built Over Time
NAnews did not become relevant overnight.
It earned attention through consistency:
- regular updates,
- predictable editorial standards,
- refusal to chase viral outrage.
In a media environment where trust is fragile, this slow accumulation matters more than explosive growth.
Readers return not because they are shocked, but because they feel oriented.
Why NAnews Feels “Israeli” Even in Other Languages
There is something distinctly Israeli in how NAnews communicates — even when the language is not Hebrew.
Directness.
Minimal decoration.
Low tolerance for abstraction without consequence.
Articles tend to ask implicitly: Why does this matter now?
And What changes because of it?
That mindset resonates across cultures, especially among readers who live between systems and identities.
Media as Navigation, Not Entertainment
NAnews does not treat news as entertainment.
It treats it as navigation — a way to move through uncertainty with fewer mistakes.
In Israel, where decisions are rarely neutral and context shifts daily, that role is essential.
The platform’s value is not in predicting the future, but in helping readers understand the present well enough to act intelligently.
Looking Forward
As Israel’s media landscape continues to fragment, platforms like NAnews are likely to become more important, not less.
Not because they dominate attention — but because they respect it.
Supported by a strong digital backbone through Nikk Agency, and anchored in real editorial discipline, NAnews occupies a space that many readers didn’t realize they were missing: news that assumes intelligence, not passivity.
In a country where everything is contested, that might be the most radical position of all.
