"The war in Ukraine has re-securitised the entire European project. #Enlargement has returned to the political agenda, but the tools we use in this regard were developed for a different reality."

🧵(1/2) Trump announces sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies. Whether this is just performative or will be withdrawn after next call from his handler in the Kremlin, remains to be seen. However, it may be useful to know more about these two behemoths which produce over half of Russian oil.

#Climate-related security risks are not gender-neutral; they intersect with existing social, political and economic inequalities, shaping people’s exposure to risk, capacity to adapt and inclusion in peacebuilding.
