Zelensky Denies Russian Capture of Kostiantynivka in Eastern Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the General Staff denied on Saturday that Russian forces had captured the strategically important eastern city of Kostiantynivka. Russia's military told President Putin on Friday that its troops had taken control of the city, a long-sought target in the Donetsk region. Ukraine insists the city remains under its control.

Should Ukraine publicly declare Kostiantynivka's status without independent verification?

Trump at Mount Rushmore: American exceptionalism speech with dark communist warning

President Donald Trump marked the 250th anniversary of American independence with a speech at Mount Rushmore, celebrating American exceptionalism before pivoting to dark warnings about communism.

Smelt: The forgotten Polish fish with a cucumber scent worth rediscovering

Smelt is a small freshwater fish that was a regular fixture on Polish tables just a few decades ago. It is known for its fresh, cucumber-like aroma and high nutritional value. Today it is nearly forgotten, despite being tasty and worth bringing back to everyday menus.

What a Car's Drag Coefficient Actually Means

A car's drag coefficient (Cd) measures how much aerodynamic resistance the vehicle experiences and directly affects fuel consumption and top speed. The lower the Cd, the less power the engine needs to maintain a given speed. However, the relationship between body shape, speed and real-world drag is more complex than the single number implies.

German soldiers' memoirs from 1939: Poles were brave, not weak as propaganda claimed

Nazi propaganda portrayed the September 1939 campaign as an easy victory over a weak enemy, but memoirs of Wehrmacht soldiers tell a very different story. Their accounts describe Polish soldiers as courageous, well-trained and determined defenders. The resistance put up by Polish troops earned respect even within the ranks of the German army.

Should school history education include more perspectives from enemy soldiers?

Slavery was the foundation of ancient Rome's economy, not just a footnote

The power of ancient Rome, legendarily founded in 753 BC, was built on slave labour that formed the core of its entire economy, not merely a component. Historians have rarely faced the full scale and brutality of this system. Enslaved people sustained every aspect of imperial life, from agriculture to administration, and their tragic personal stories have survived to the present day.

Should schools teach more about the role of slavery in ancient Rome?
