Ukraine's future: sovereign, independent, free from Russian aggression and territorial violation, and a strong and valued member of the EU. Authoritative voices here focus on the path towards that future.

A protracted or frozen conflict hurts Ukraine, as does a ceasefire or negotiated settlement on Moscow’s terms.

Our latest CH Russia Eurasia report calls for an immediate and decisive increase in military support for Kyiv.

...and also quite a lot here on how NOT to end Russia's war on Ukraine: a bad end is highly likely to mean no end.

‘This is a setback for Putin. His authority is seriously weakened.’

Former UK Ambassador to Ukraine Simon Smith says the removal of Wagner troops from Ukraine will cause morale implications on Russian forces.

Splendid to see two great friends + colleagues in one shot. Philip, you've been a first-class representative of 🇳🇿over these years...enjoy whatever comes next.

Today, we mark 2,5 years of peaceful protest in Belarus for democracy & freedom since the stolen election. Every day Belarusians continue to stand up against the regime. Their bravery gives me strength & sustains my hope – as does the global support & solidarity for our people.

Four of the very best of the many remarkable women who've striven to give real meaning to freedom, independence and justice in Ukraine. Superb advocates for why our support for Ukraine in defeating Russia's senseless aggression needs to keep growing.

'It would send the most appalling signal around the world if Putin was allowed to get away with his invasion of Ukraine.'

Listen to Simon Smith, chairman of Ukraine Forum steering committee at Chatham House.
