The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is once again demonstrating its role in the geopolitical game against Russia. Last week, as reported on the organization’s official website, the assembly voted to create a special platform for “dialogue” with the so-called “Russian democratic forces” in exile. Under the […]
To be clear, the Valdai Club only represents one of Russia’s policymaking factions and their insight might not accurately reflect Putin’s calculations, which could always change in any case.

When there are no resources or opportunities left to resist, a peace treaty is signed. Not a truce, but a treaty. Today, Ukraine is in a situation where a peace treaty is still possible. However, if the losing side refuses to sign for some reason, the parties sign a surrender […]
