Tetiana Kyselova, who keynoted a @cmcfinland.bsky.social seminar on civil society and crisis management last fall, writes about the dangers of repeating Minsk mistakes together w/ Yuna Potomkina in @foreignaffairs.com
“Accommodating Russian narratives and positions could turn out to be a provocative yet smart move to bring Putin to the table—but only if Trump sets high standards and demands once negotiations begin,” write Tetiana Kyselova and Yuna Potomkina.

Interesting study, pointing that any deal that would endanger the Ukrainian sovereignty would not be accepted by the Ukrainians, even when measured against high casualties. Unjust peace would therefore not end the war but bring insurgency www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/ukrai...

I spent most of the week in a virtual country called Carana, mentoring a joint peace mediation exercise by the students from the Finnish National Defence University and Tampere University. Like a fellow mentor put it, we learned as much as the students.

Excellent keynote by Renata Dwan on the Peacemaking in the New World Order -seminar. Few takeaways: When multilateralism is stuck, give room to minilateralism and ad hoc -coalitions, also embracing partial agreements, noting the dangers of forces comprehensiveness (pushing early elections etc).
