How Will Putin Respond to the Terrorist Attack in Moscow?
Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.

Quick Glance: Ukraine's Journey to EU Membership
  • The historic decision of European leaders to initiate accession talks with Ukraine in December 2023 was celebrated in Kyiv as a recognition of years of efforts following the EuroMaidan Revolution.

  • The agreement came after a European Commission decision in November 2023, recommending talks begin after Ukraine completed four out of seven steps outlined when it received candidate status in June 2023.

  • Ukraine needs to undertake a thorough overhaul of its legislation, policies, and economy as it embarks on the long and arduous road to EU membership.

  • Aligning with EU legislation has the potential to spark much-needed reforms in Ukraine, but will take years to implement all necessary laws.
