Boeiende presentatie en daaropvolgende discussie (waarbij ik ook nog een paar vragen mocht stellen aan Rob en Pieter.

Inderdaad goed om nog eens terug te kijken.

And more to what turns into a most interesting debate.

Interesting development opening to door for reintegration and making EU membership somewhat easier to reach.

Discussion continues.

Interesting stuff on Russia’s possible decolonization. Like debated in this week’s Jamestown Foundation seminar.

To all those propagating self-deterrence.

Very interesting and I am quite sure this won’t be the last power shift in Russia’s neighborhood.

Very interesting. European states have to think about their own nuclear deterrence.

Wondering how experts from PIN ( Processes of International Negotiation) would think about this? pin-negotiation.org.

Sounds really interesting research about one of the most important nationalist newspapers in Russia.

Great thread on the discussion on early in-war negotiations btw Ukraine and Russia and what they could imply. Jury remains out, as with many issues in contemporary history. We will only know more when the archives are open. ( Or May be not even then).

And another great scholar chips into this debate.

And another thread on the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia at the beginning of the full scale invasion.

Another take on the Charap/ Rodchenko article in Foreign Affairs.

Another thread on the Russia-Ukraine negotiations before Istanbul.

Putin’s operational code.

Another great conference on Russia.
