Mullu 20. jaanuaril USA presidendiks saanud Joe Bidenist oodati võrreldes tülitekitava ja ettearvamatu Donald Trumpiga palju. Aga Biden pole imet teinud – meie siin Eestis näeme seda enim Venemaa kasvavast ülbusest Ukraina piiril ja NATO-le esitatud ultimaatumist.
Ucraina. Facciamo queste considerazioni non tanto per sottolineare alcune storiche verità, ma sotto l’influsso negativo delle parole usate dal presidente Biden nella sua lunga, imbarazzata conferenza stampa di mercoledì sera alla Casa bianca, tenuta sulla situazione della crisi americana e sull’Ucraina. Che cosa ha detto Biden di tanto terribile?
Wobec groźby rosyjskiej inwazji Bruksela jest tak bezsilna, że nawet nie próbuje wykuć wspólnego stanowiska. Nie zmienią tego najbardziej bujne deklaracje Macrona.
Przywódcy „27″ spotykają się na szczytach cztery razy do roku. Jednak w 2021 r. zorganizowano sześć dodatkowych spotkań, a w 2021 – cztery dodatkowe. Chodziło o covid, relacje z Chinami czy imigrację. Stojąca na czele Wspólnoty od 1 stycznia Francja takiego szczytu w sprawie Ukrainy nie zwołała. Czy groźba największego od drugiej wojny światowej konfliktu zbrojnego w Europie na to nie zasługuje? Szczytu, rzecz jasna, nie ma z innego powodu: kraje Wspólnoty nie są tu w stanie uzgodnić wspólnego stanowiska. Takie spotkanie przekształciłoby się w żenującą kłótnię, jak zareagować na ewentualną rosyjską inwazję na Ukrainę.

Jewish community leaders in eastern Ukraine say there is no sense of panic, despite the deteriorating security situation with Russia, and that previous experiences are helping them now
Sitting in his synagogue office in central Kyiv, Rabbi Pinchas Vishedski is keeping watch on Ukraine’s rapidly deteriorating security situation, as 100,000 Russian forces mass on the border and U.S. President Joe Biden predicts an imminent invasion.
Defence researchers have been experimenting with quantum technologies for decades, with some results and capabilities proving more promising than others. The question is not whether quantum will proliferate the defence world, but when and to what extent. Norbert Neumann investigates what quantum computing and sensing mean for militaries.
Over the next few decades, a reduction in the use of fossil fuels worldwide presents a bigger problem for Russia than climate change itself.
As Russia masses military forces on the borders of Ukraine, Western governments are consumed with trying to decipher President Vladimir Putin’s intentions and predict his next moves. While this heightened focus is fully justified, we should remain attentive to longer-term processes that might exacerbate the threat that Russia poses, both to its neighbours and to the West. One such process is climate change.
Sending anti-tank weapons to Ukraine will not alter the military balance or moderate Russia’s behaviour. It is time for a serious approach to supporting Ukraine, one that accounts for the Russian way of war.
The UK and US have been the most prominent military supporters of Ukraine since the conflict with Russia started in 2014.
