Ukraine’s future leaders will need to be driven by pragmatism and realism

Russia’s immobilised assets will stay immobilised until the end of the war in one way or another.

The truth is that Russia has the money to fight on for as long as it takes and Ukraine does not, Ian Proud writes.

Intrappolati tra l’incudine e il martello, i leader europei continuano a negare l’evidente realtà della situazione disastrosa in Ucraina

Caught between a rock and a hard place, European leaders continue to deny the obvious realities of the dire situation in Ukraine.

Keir Starmer’s approach appears so weak because he has been working hard to open up a more open trade and investment relationship with China.

Sanctions will not stop the war. And the longer they go on, more Ukrainians will die.

An absence of war may usher in a renewal of the feudal scramble for control and money that has characterised Ukraine’s unstable politics since 1991.

Going through the same loop each day will never bring peace to Ukraine.

Blocking plans for a new Chinese Embassy in London would set a worrying diplomatic precedent.
