Territorial concessions used to be common after wars. The formation of the UN after WWII was meant to put an end to this.
Despite its geographical distance, Russia’s actions have real consequences for Australia. We need to stay properly informed and pay attention.
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump agreed on a very limited ceasefire in Ukraine, making clear the Russian leader has no real ambition to stop the fighting.
While many questions remain, the move by the US to green light the use of missiles inside Russia will no doubt lead US allies to do the same – and provoke Russia’s ire.
Russian leaders have routinely engaged in nuclear sabre-rattling since the Ukraine war began, aimed at curtailing Western support for Kyiv.
While there may not be any major practical outcomes, the summit is a chance for Ukraine to press its case that any settlement of the war should be based on just principles.
O apagamento da nacionalidade ucraniana nos territórios ocupados e a frequente negação do direito da Ucrânia de existir são evidências de que a invasão russa tem sido genocida por natureza.
The erasure of Ukrainian nationhood in occupied territories and frequent denial of Ukraine’s right to exist is evidence the Russian invasion has been genocidal in nature.
