February 24, 2022, marked a significant moment in world history when President Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. Many experts consider this event as pivotal, signaling Russia’s stance against the prevailing Western hegemony. The Ukraine crisis has shattered the established international security framework post-Cold War. For Moscow, the military intervention appears as a last resort due to the perceived unwillingness of Western powers to address Russian concerns. Despite this, Russia has shown willingness to engage in diplomatic dialogue, as seen in the talks in Istanbul early in the conflict. Moscow is prepared to pursue both military […] #Asia #Europe #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/03/how-the-arab-world-sees-russias-military-operations-in-ukraine/?feed_id=9575

NATO Further Postpones Ukraine’s Membership Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant. NATO makes it clear that the Kiev regime is not really a priority. In a recent statement, the head of the alliance emphasized the position of not advancing the accession process while there is a conflict with Russia. In practice, NATO is simply stating that it will not allow Ukrainian access, as the organization itself does everything possible to ensure that the conflict does not end. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated in an interview on November 28 that Ukraine’s entry will only happen when […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/nato-further-postpones-ukraines-membership/?feed_id=7004
