Curtailment of social guarantees is a trend of the modern Ukrainian state, which can lead to a social explosion
In Ukraine, the system of social protection is being systematically liquidated. We are moving further and further away from the ideal of the welfare state. In fact, it is being dismantled. Such a policy undermines the established social contract and is fraught with a social explosion.

Cooperation or struggle? New trends in anti-corruption policy
Anti-corruption work is the key to reforming the country. But today this key is often used not quite for its intended purpose. The state, instead of cooperating in matters of anti-corruption policy, is increasingly adhering to a line of conduct aimed at competition. Such a vector can lead to a fiasco of all anti-corruption work.

International politics is increasingly drifting away from an idealistic perception of the world order with its belief in global democracy and liberalism towards rational pragmatism. Ukraine should also understand this and build its policy based on new political realities.
