Classic Kyiv Post: April 2021 – Russia's dress rehearsal for the full-scale invasion

The great newspaper is no more (in print) after owner Adnan Kivan destroyed it on Nov. 8, 2021, because its independent journalism threatened his business interests.

This is former Kyiv Post chief editor Brian Bonner’s introduction to the Friday, April 16, 2021, edition. Issue #16, Year #26:

Russia has grabbed the world's attention with its military buildup around Ukraine's land and sea, the largest since its initial invasion of the nation in 2014. U.S. President Joe Biden ratcheted up the sanctions on April 15, but nothing the West has done has deterred the Kremlin from its twin policy aims of destroying democracies and reassembling the Soviet Union.
