By The Globalist

1. End of the Ukraine War?

Reflections on the possible benefits of Prigozhin’s March to Justice – and an important precedent from modern Chinese history.

By J.D. Bindenagel

2. Putin’s Perverted Genocidal “Logic”

The international community should pay much closer attention to the completely perverted reasoning behind Putin calling for a “de-Nazification” of Ukraine.

By Gunnar Heinsohn

3. War In Ukraine: Putin Can’t Win — But the US Can Lose

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam demonstrates that Russia is resorting to increasingly desperate measures. The question is how the West will respond.

By Alexei Bayer

4. Bringing Russian Oligarchs to Justice

Why we need to worry that the current zeal of Western authorities to go after the Russian oligarchs will decline over time.

By Frank Vogl

5. How the War in Ukraine Affects Africa

By Ayesha Kajee

6. The New Cold War Era

By Andrés Ortega

By Stephan Richter and Uwe Bott

9. Russia-Ukraine: A Last Chance for Peace

Ukraine could offer to suspend its NATO candidacy for some time, but only in return for Russia’s withdrawal from Donbas.

By Colin Cleary

10. The Evasive Mr. Scholz

On Ukraine and Russia, Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz is not acting thoughtfully and with a cool head. Rather, he is damaging Germany’s reputation – and his own party.
