Russia-Ukraine

Trump’s foreign policy remains an inconsistent array of initiatives and adventures: bold in Latin America, bad in Greenland, yet often constructive on Ukrainian security.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that the West promised not to expand NATO is a myth—denied by Gorbachev, ignored by Yeltsin, and invented years into Putin’s rule.

An amnesty in any future peace plan would be unlawful and a moral abdication of the pursuit of accountability for victims in Russia's war in Ukraine.

Compromising on prosecutions for Russian atrocities would erode the system of international justice built since Nuremberg and undermine the rule of law itself.

The plan is a mess, but Ukrainians are right to try to work with the draft rather than reject it out of hand.

After abandoning nuclear arms for the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine faces existential war -- proof that security “assurances” alone won't be enough now.

Drones are rapidly changing war. Without urgent, collective action, their use will lead to greater civilian harm in conflicts.

James Goldston and Esti Tambay present their organization's work, a Memorandum supporting efforts to hold officials accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

European militaries can adapt and operationalize civilian protection as they increase defense spending to protect themselves against Russia.

While President Trump hasn't fully sided with Putin, he hasn't used his favorable strategic position as history shows he could to end Russia's war on Ukraine.

Russia’s cybercrime stance reflects a broader push to assert state control over the internet, restrict dissent, and build global backing for its governance model.

Trump's General Assembly speech could have been worse, but it also showed that if countries want to make the U.N. system work, they can't bank on U.S. leadership.
