“The West is under the pretense that wars are deviations from the normal state of the world. In reality, wars are the tool by which authoritarian states transform the world for their own gain.” This.
"The West must decide: treat this ceasefire as a serious security operation or admit it's orchestrating Ukraine's gradual abandonment. Half-measures guarantee failure," writes Catarina Buchatskiy, Co-Founder & Director of Analytics at Snake Island Institute, in this op-ed.
Can the West win a сeasefire with Russia?
Since 2014, every ceasefire Russia has signed has ended the same way: with Russia in a stronger position, and the West scrambling to catch up when Russia decides to escalate again.

Putin will agree to talks only when he realizes he is losing war – Pifer
To push Russia toward genuine peace talks on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin must be stripped of his belief in victory and shown that he is losing the war, with serious consequences for Russia. — Ukrinform.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We are not losing this war and Putin is not winning. His army is in a weak position now. They could occupy 1% of our land, but they spent 1.3 million people.
I don't understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth need some more kilometers. This war is about our independence.

Watching #Dune hit in a new way. “Sietch” — the Fremen refuge — is a nod to the Ukrainian Sich, the old Cossack fortresses.
Our brigade, Sicheslav, was named after the same legacy.

This is good news, not only for democracy and #Ukraine, but for what it tells us about the limits of Russian foreign political meddling. #Moldova will not be swayed. We need to understand how she resisted. Probably because narratives of foreign immigrant invasion don’t work when you are the invader.

This is a critical insight. If verified, everyone should be talking about these documents: they indicate Russia will perpetuate the war in Ukraine until at least 2027. Taiwan will be invaded by China that year.
