We are in a state of real war. And we can solve this problem only through violence applied to the aggressor. First, sanctions must be devastating, so that individual companies and entire states that dare to trade with the aggressor feel a sharp deterioration of their legal

Putin no longer has the idea of war. His attempt to return to the concept of controlling the former Soviet republics has failed. But the war continues because peace is dangerous for Russia’s militarized economy. What could stop it? Either massive pressure or nothing. Sanctions

Heavy fighting continues on the front line without the significant advances Putin expected when announcing the spring and summer offensive. Therefore massive nighttime drone and missile attacks, the destruction of energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Chernihiv, Sumy,

The Kremlin is staging pre-accident scenarios at the Zaporizhzhia and Chornobyl nuclear power plants as a tool of blackmail. These are not technical problems but a method of waging war. Russia inflicts maximum damage where it breaks in. It deliberately creates environmental risks

Many call for reforming the United Nations. And although expansion of the Security Council is currently on the agenda, what matters far more is having real instruments of influence when conflicts arise. The existence of such an institution, important as a forum for seeking
