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 […]
The supplementary economic benefits and perceived acceleration of multipolar trends might appeal to Russia, but the latent military-strategic threats to its interests arguably outweigh them. The “New Rules” telegram channel, which his associated with Sputnik’s former podcast of the same name, posted in late September about plans to revive the Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul railway. […]
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 […]
