December 5, 2024
— The US strategy in the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine appeared to undermine Russian efforts to justify the war.

September 23, 2024
— As wars in Ukraine and Gaza continue with little end in sight, the sense of urgency to determine how they should end is increasing, given how the wars could end.

When that is the case, actors must determine on what terms to settle...
