1 RU is an outlaw terrorist state threatening world peace. 2 RU is seeking the end of Western dominated rules-based intl order. 3 RU is waging a genocidal war on UA to extinguish it as an independent nation. Act in #Ukraine NOW to stop #Russia's evil. https://t.co/pQIcJCj5F8

'The return to great power competition is a degeneration of the international order bound to bring greater global suffering through the spread of inequality and disparity.' write @GicAriana, @GLandsbergis and @RomanSohn in the latest #RUSICommentary. https://t.co/Akzj2NhlQo

Only Europe can take the action necessary to defeat Russia, save Ukraine and the international rules-based order, and reclaim the bloc’s geopolitical power.

To survive a perfect geopolitical storm, Europe must stop being hostage to Putin and Trump; it must act. We do not need to accept the world as Russia and the US want it to be. By joining forces with Ukraine, Europe can find the lacking resolve to wake the sleeping giant. 7/

EU must take the initiative and tirelessly drive the international agenda to upgrade the rules-based system so that the application of its rules is not dependent on the will of global powers. We need strong intl institutions & effective mechanisms to safeguard the principles. 6/

The war is in Europe, and Europe must respond with action. Launching a humanitarian military mission focused on helping Ukraine defend against air threats is one of many steps that could turn the tide of this war and make Europe safe again. 5/

Russia must repair all its breaches of international law. This plan requires defeating Russia, and this objective is achievable. 4/

Ukraine is part of Europe – not a shield, nor a buffer. Only one policy should be on the table: full restoration of international law, which was grossly violated by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and its genocide against Ukrainians. 3/

Europe’s red lines on support for Ukraine continue to invite Putin to destroy UA and the intl rules based order. While UA shields the peace of NATO nations from Russia’s aggression, EU’s political formula of ‘supporting UA for as long as it fights’ is humiliatingly inadequate. 2/

Special gratitude and thanks to @GLandsbergis for tirelessly championing support of Ukraine and the international rules-based order. Your principled position and courage and conviction to pursue it when so many choose to remain silent is of great meaning and importance. 8/8

Even if Russia is fully defeated on the battlefield in Ukraine, Russian fascism will remain. Allies are facing a long-term threat from these corrupt influence networks, their enablers & allies of convenience worldwide.

@GicAriana, @markomihkelson & @RomanSohn argue that Russia’s war is not only about Russia’s ambitions, but also Western hesitation. The erosion of deterrence & inconsistent responses have consequences, not just for Ukraine, but for the rules-based order.

.@HopkoHanna, @RomanSohn and I call for an international “Justice Coalition” that would drive legal and political action in international courts and organisations to stop Russian genocide of Ukrainians, and bring its perpetrators to responsibility. https://t.co/7siOJEaQ76

In this thread, we’re revisiting past #RUSICommentary articles exploring how Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is reshaping European security, transatlantic relations & the future of the rules-based international order. 👇A selection of articles examining what’s at stake.

Today, the West does not recognize that Russia is committing genocide against Ukrainians! Instead of pursuing a policy of defeating Russia as the genocidal rogue state threatening world peace, the West under Trump's "leadership" is coercing Ukraine to surrender. 6/6

In 2022, Russia escalated the war by launching a large-scale offensive. The scale was too large for Western politicians to keep pretending that UA was fighting "rebels" or "green men" from another planet. Russia's war was recognized, but the appeasement of Putin continued. 5/6

UA was denied sales of lethal weapons, except for the 2018 sales of Javelins by the US & sniper rifles by Canada. EU companies did not sell weapons to UA but continued selling to RU. Notably, the French Thales sold advanced equipment to RU for use in tanks up until 2020. 4/6
