Russian occupiers are using methods that violate the rules of war

A weekly video digest of russian war crimes in Ukraine

“Moscow is preparing ground for further escalation”

Khylko: we need UN mission on the contact line, we can deprive Russia of its veto in this case

“Blackmailing with the threat of large-scale war”

Maksym Khylko: Moscow believes it is beneficial to keep Ukraine and its Western partners in constant tension

Expert de la Kiev: Tensiunile crescânde la granița Ucrainei, precum și ultimaturile înainte de Moscova către Occident sunt o încercare a Kremlinului de a ridica mizele jocului geopolitic

Nici Ucraina, nici Republica Moldova nu au suficiente resurse pentru a influența Moscova, iar tot ce pot face este să demonstreze că sunt gata să se apere și să intensifice interacțiunea cu UE.

Hanna Shelest on the Russian Threat and the Need for Europe and the Eastern Partnership to Unite against It

Constant threats from Russia on the border, disinformation campaigns, lack of an effective reaction from the West – this is not a complete list of problems Ukraine is struggling with right now, a list which threatens not just them, but the security of the whole region.

“Yalta 2 is among Putin’s goals”. Maksym Khylko: what has been said so far in the West, did not sound convincing for Moscow

Putin’s main goals are rather political and geopolitical. By threatening to use force against Ukraine, the Kremlin is raising stakes and seeking to strengthen its negotiating position in dialogue with Washington through blackmail. Most likely, Putin is trying to achieve many goals at the same time

Biden-Putin talks and risk of invasion. Maksym Khylko: Ukraine and its Western partners must make the most of time

To prevent a possible Russian invasion, Ukraine and its Western partners must make the most of time to rapidly increase Ukraine’s defence capabilities and to elaborate and put on the table a set of really strong measures that would make the price of possible escalation unjustifiably expensive for Russia

Maksym Khylko on NS2: Russia been using gas as a weapon against the EU for several months now, and there is no reaction from the EU, Germany, US

This is another proof that no guarantees will stop Russia from using the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline as a tool of pressure and aggression against Ukraine if this project is launched.

Maksym Khylko: the West cannot ignore Moscow’s co-responsibility for hybrid attacks on Lithuania and Poland

NS2 would make Ukraine vulnerable to full-scale Russian aggression, Kyiv would need security guarantees

If Germany and the United States allow Russia to bypass the Ukrainian territory in gas transit and thereby make it more vulnerable to full-scale Russian military aggression, it would be justified to provide Ukraine with some reliable security guaranties.
