Love on the Front Line in Kramatorsk – City of Rendezvous

For the whole world, Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine has long been associated with war, shelling and the constant threat of Russian occupation. But for thousands of Ukrainian couples, this city just 15 kilometres from the front line has become a place of meeting and parting, of grief and love.

The Venezuelan Doctrine of Euphoria

The text captures the dramatic events of early 2026, when US special forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, sparking a wave of uncontrolled joy among migrants in Santiago, Chile. Through personal reporting, the author contrasts the contagious euphoria of Venezuelan expats with the chilling geopolitical consequences of this power intervention. The entire text thus critically examines the fine line between the desire for freedom and the acceptance of foreign military intervention.

The End of Transatlanticism

This text analyses the gradual breakdown of the transatlantic partnership, which the author documents in the transition from Biden's diplomatic cooperation to the assertive voluntarism of the Trump administration. At the heart of the argument is a deep value conflict between Europe's emphasis on international law and America's tendency to assert its interests through brute force and national will.

Transnational Showcases

Transnational Showcases are the heart of the project and bring our partners together to create powerful stories across borders. They collaborate closely to explore shared themes, combining their perspectives in special editions, online clusters, or thematic series. From shaping the idea to publishing the content, each showcase is a true joint creation. Our young journalists will also contribute and be part of this transnational collaboration, and audiences are invited to engage through events around the showcase topics. Stay tuned!
