‘In 2013, Ukraine had de facto neutral status—yet it did not stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. NATO aspirations didn’t trigger Russia’s aggression, it is a myth.’ - Hanna Shelest (Ukrainian Prism)

‘Russia is more like a hurricane, it will be turbulent for a short period of time and subside eventually; China is a climate change - its effects will persist and create problems continuously, making it a bigger challenge for the future’- @Hiroakitanikkei of Nikkei, Japan

[Andreas Wittkowsky 🇪🇺 @Twittkowskyi]

Peace operations can provide a security guarantee to 🇺🇦 - but only if there's a ceasefire. In the latter's absence, supporting 🇺🇦's ability to defend itself remains the key objective to beef up the intl. security guarantees provided so far. My take at the @RondeliSecConf 2025.

[Rondeli Security Conference @RondeliSecConf]

Rondeli Security Conference Day 2 opens with insightful discussions on the global great power competition, threats to the liberal order, Trump’s foreign policy and assertive policies from other geopolitical powers - China, Russia and North Korea.
