My two cents on the anniversary of the Russo-Ukrainian war: "From cynical political scientists to hypocritically pacifist intellectuals, there suddenly surfaced many people for whom any price, so long as it wasn't theirs to pay, seemed fair for a return to normality as they knew it... It is quite clear that this war will not stop until Russia is defeated... Efforts to stop Russia do not entail escalation. Escalation will occur if Russia is not stopped."

One year of a three-day war: Reflections from Estonia
Next Friday, February 24, is Independence Day and marks 105 years since the foundation of the Republic of Estonia. While this is normally a happy occasion, last year's day was marred by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began early that morning. Academic Rein Raud reflects on the events of a year ago.
