Watching the Ukraine invasion unfold, I couldn’t help but be drawn into Yevgeny Prigozchin’s audacious move on Rostov. Instead of a full-blown coup, it felt more like political theater. His “March for Justice” peeled back layers, hinting at the real reasons for the invasion. The more I think about it, the murkier Putin’s leadership seems, and I can’t help but wonder about the West’s role in this tangled web.

I attended NATO’s 2023 conference, where we discussed countering Russian aggression, enhancing resilience, and addressing global communication challenges. Insights include strategies for engaging the ‘Global South’ and NATO’s adaptive responses to evolving geopolitical dynamics, such as cyber warfare and shifts in technology away from China.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant against Putin, which could further isolate Russia. Similarly, Maduro in Venezuela faces accusations from the ICC, underscoring that there is no impunity for crimes against humanity. Despite their defiant responses, justice sooner then later prevails.
