EU votes in support of Nuremberg-style tribunal for Russia

The Special Tribunal plays an important role because no other court has a legal mandate to prosecute the international crime of starting a war of aggression.

... such as the “little green men.

The term was first used in reference to #Russian troops deployed during the #occupation of #Crimea and the outbreak of #Moscow's #aggression against Ukraine in 2014.

Estonia, a #NATO and #EU member bordering Russia, has borne the brunt of Moscow’s #HybridWarfare, facing #cyberattacks and fighter jet incursions.

Estonia wants to involve NATO forces in countering 'little green men' threats

A government-backed bill, still requiring parliamentary approval, would expand the Estonian military's law-enforcement role in tackling hybrid threats.

... Target-mapping today secures the option to sever them in the event of a #crisis.

The uncomfortable question is whether we are actually managing to #deter them

Historian Serhii Plokhy on Russian imperialism, de-colonization, and why Putin is so obsessed with Ukraine

Even before Russia launched its full-scale war in 2022, it set the groundwork by establishing distorted narratives about its “rightful” claim to Ukraine. Misunderstandings about empire, identity, and the legacies of both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union still shape Western views of Russia — and Ukraine — today. While these narratives aren’t as instantly lethal as Russian drones and missiles, they’re designed to serve the same purpose — hurting Ukraine, often in ways that reach far beyond
