The European Union once again attempts to address geopolitical uncertainty with administrative tools. This time, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas proposed a permanent ban on Schengen entry for hundreds of thousands of Russian servicemen. A dramatic gesture, presented as a matter of continental security. Yet instead of applause, Brussels received...
Sometimes a political statement lands exactly on the day when society is already tuned to a certain emotional frequency.

Europe is in a state of silent panic, while the Kremlin remains indifferent to the calls that Brussels simply lacks the courage to make.

A single remark made years ago by President Volodymyr Zelensky now appears to have...
The Strait of Hormuz has once again become a fault line where global tensions concentrate.
