theAnalysis.newsUkraine: Peace In Our Time? – Volodymyr Ishchenko & Richard Sakwa Pt. 2/2Richard Sakwa and Volodymyr Ishchenko on what is misunderstood about this war — and why it matters for the peace we need so badly.
In Part Two, Sakwa and Ishchenko turn to NATO’s expansion, Russia’s internal politics, and the peace proposals now being pushed. Sakwa dismisses the claim that NATO is merely defensive and rejects the idea that Russia poses a serious military threat to Western Europe. He traces the crisis to post-war settlements that shut Russia out of Europe’s security order — even after Moscow sought NATO membership. Ishchenko argues that Central European states joined NATO less out of fear of...

Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine did not come from nowhere. In this first of two parts, Richard Sakwa and Volodymyr Ishchenko cut through the common narrative that reduces the war to Putin alone, without excusing the invasion itself. The failure — and in key moments, US sabotage — of an inclusive European security order after the Cold War helped lay the ground for conflict.

Neutrality StudiesThe Political West Is Collapsing. Imperial Globalism Is Not | Prof. Richard SakwaOriginally published on 28 Sept 2025. While the West champions a "rules-based order," it consistently bypasses the UN Charter it helped create. Is this selective application of international law the real driver of the new Cold War? And could a return to the universal principles of 1945 be the only way to avoid global conflict?To discuss this and more, today I’m talking to Dr. Richard Sakwa, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Kent. Professor Sakwa studies among other issues political developments in Russia, international politics, and multipolarity. He is the author of the very insightful book “The Lost...

After weeks of US claims that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent, Vladimir Putin instead recognized the breakaway republics of Luhansk and Donetsk. The decision has triggered a new round of US-led sanctions while bringing attention to rebel-held areas, where, according to UN figures on the Donbas war, 80% of civilian casualties have occurred since 2018.
Professor Richard Sakwa analyzes the factors behind Putin's move, and its likely consequences. Putin's decision, he says, comes after Kiev refused to implement the 2015 Minsk accords, which could have ended the conflict, and a longstanding US-driven...
