The material is based on the new situational-analytical engine, Kronos Materials Dynamics Platform (Real-Time Global CRM Flow Tracking Engine). This analytical investigation was prepared by the expert group of the Kronos Institute on the basis of a multi-level analysis of global supply chains for critical raw materials (CRM). The report’s key objective is to conduct a deep materials-science and logistics deconstruction of the dependence of the military-industrial complexes of the Axis countries (the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic […]

This analytical report is devoted to uncovering the hidden mechanisms of integrating the Russian state apparatus and economy into the technological, financial, and administrative chains of the People’s Republic of China.  Key parameters recorded during OSINT monitoring: The public rhetoric of the leaders of the PRC and the Russian Federation emphasizes strategic partnership and the creation of a “multipolar world.” However, behind the scenes of diplomatic negotiations, Beijing is building a rigidly pragmatic model of interaction, based on […]

This analytical report is devoted to a comprehensive study of the dynamics of socio-political sentiment, logistical vulnerabilities, and the overall moral and psychological state (MPS) of the population in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.  The study is based on verified daily analytical reports from the “ROY” system for the period from 1 June to 14 July 2026. This system, developed by the Kronos Institute (Kyiv), has been operating for six months and enables, on the basis of […]

У сучасному геополітичному ландшафті XXI століття взаємовідносини між Російською Федерацією та Китайською Народною Республікою (КНР) пройшли стрімку еволюцію, трансформувавшись із декларованого стратегічного партнерства у глибоко асиметричний технологічний та сировинний протекторат. Початок повномасштабного вторгнення РФ в Україну в лютому 2022 року та наступна хвиля безпрецедентних міжнародних санкцій остаточно ліквідували економічну багатовекторність Москви, замкнувши її в інфраструктурну […]

1. Introduction: The Geopolitical Trap of “Limitless Friendship” In the contemporary geopolitical landscape of the 21st century, relations between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have undergone a swift evolution, transforming from a declared strategic partnership into a deeply asymmetric technological and resource protectorate. The launch of the full-scale invasion of […]

The current state of Ukrainian society is characterized by an unprecedented level of psychological and emotional exhaustion, which is a direct consequence of war, economic turbulence, and continuous existential stress. As of the first half of 2026, under conditions of the prolonged operation of the legal regime of martial law and general mobilization, a dangerous dynamic is being observed in which latent public dissatisfaction is transforming into open radicalization.  This process is not exclusively spontaneous; […]

The modern theater of operations is undergoing fundamental changes that, in terms of their scale and impact on military science, can be compared to the transition from sail to steam or to the emergence of carrier-based aviation. The full-scale conflict has crystallized an entirely new battlespace—the water surface and the underwater domain—where autonomous and remotely controlled systems now dominate. The state that at the initial […]

CYBINT (Cyber Intelligence) — це операції або дослідження, засновані на кібернетичній розвідці. Вони передбачають збір, аналіз та використання інформації, отриманої з кіберпростору, для досягнення стратегічних, оперативних або тактичних цілей. Уявіть собі звичайну російську сім’ю — матір, батька та маленьку дитину. Вони підіймаються трапом білосніжного лайнера Airbus A320 в аеропорту Шереметьєво, передчуваючи довгоочікувану відпустку в Сочі. […]

An analysis of the state of Ukraine’s energy sector reveals a profound structural transformation unfolding under the pressure of unprecedented military, economic, and technological challenges. Behind the façade of official reports on infrastructure recovery and the heroic efforts of energy workers lies a complex landscape in which large-scale corruption schemes, deep technological dependence on foreign monopolists, and the threat of an inevitable environmental catastrophe intersect. The study, based on the aggregation of customs […]
