The EU faces a Russian threat that goes well beyond Ukraine.

At @euiss.bsky.social we looked into Russia’s strengths, vulnerabilities and tactics. It’s time to Unpower Russia. That means countering and undermining the Kremlin’s capacity to harm.

Wonder how? Here my oped for @politico.eu:
Europe must learn the art of ‘unpowering’ Russia
The EU is far from powerless — it is simply under-leveraged.

Forcibly relocating a million people, overwhelmingly civilians, in 24 hours under pressure and extreme conditions of no water or power.

Sounds kind of genocidy tbh.
How do 1 million people evacuate anywhere in 24 hours? Especially when they have nowhere specifically to evacuate to?

It would sadden me immensely if 20 years after the war on terror started only lesson we learned would be "more effective urban combat."
