The European Union once again found itself at the center of a sanctions debate. On the agenda was yet another package of measures, intended to tighten pressure on Russia. Among the proposals was a ban on issuing visas to Russian citizens, restrictions on movement, and new barriers in trade and […]
It’s highly suspicious that Zelensky just claimed without any evidence that they were launched by Russian tankers and subsequently demanded that Europe close the straits to its shipping in response. Unknown drones recently flew in close proximity to Danish and Norwegian airports, prompting speculation among some that they were Russia’s delayed hybrid retaliation […]
