In December 1994, Ukraine gave up the third-largest nuclear arsenal
in the world and signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, having
received assurances that its sovereignty would be respected and
secured by Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Based
on original and heretofore unavailable documents, Yuri Kostenko’s
account of the negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the US
reveals for the first time the internal debates of the Ukrainian
government as well as the pressure exerted upon it by its
international partners. Kostenko presents an insider’s view on
the issue of nuclear disarmament and raises the question of whether
the complete and immediate dismantlement of the country’s
enormous nuclear arsenal was strategically the right decision,
especially in view of the 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia, one
of the guarantors of Ukraine’s sovereignty under
denuclearization.

Kateryna Kalytko's sophisticated poetry volume, Nobody Knows Us
Here, and We Don't Know Anyone, deals with separations and changes,
hinting at the ongoing war in Ukraine. One can intuit that the
characters, succinctly depicted, are Crimean Tatars, Jews, or the
displaced citizens of Ukraine, refugees from the occupied
territories. However, these departures and partings, acute
alienation and pain that permeate the poems, could also be read as
elements of a more philosophical and global matrix, relevant to any
region and each and every human being. Losses, wars, and abandoned
houses in Kalytko's visual images are stunningly detailed, and her
poetic language rich and exuberant.
