⚡️ Global oil prices rise as Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy sector escalate.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 14 that Ukraine's strikes on oil facilities amount to the "most effective sanctions," weakening Russia's ability to finance its war.

In Ukraine’s bombed out reservoir a huge forest has grown – is it a return to life or a toxic timebomb?

This forthcoming book looks very important for understanding the US-Ukraine mineral deal in its broader political economic context and in relation to histories of colonial resource extraction

I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

My new paper in East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies asks what it means to treat the #Chornobyl Zone as a laboratory, exploring a strange experiment conducted with the Chornobyl dogs.
