Ukraine Will Not Surrender to Russia The country is open to talks but will fight a forced deal.

Interesting study, pointing that any deal that would endanger the Ukrainian sovereignty would not be accepted by the Ukrainians, even when measured against high casualties. Unjust peace would therefore not end the war but bring insurgency www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/ukrai...

Vieraskynä | Vaalituloksen kiistäminen yleistyy eri puolilla maailmaa Noin joka viidensien vaalien tulos kyseenalaistetaan. Vaalitarkkailu tulee tarpeeseen, mutta vilpin todistaminen voi olla vaikeaa.

I spent most of the week in a virtual country called Carana, mentoring a joint peace mediation exercise by the students from the Finnish National Defence University and Tampere University. Like a fellow mentor put it, we learned as much as the students.

Excellent keynote by Renata Dwan on the Peacemaking in the New World Order -seminar. Few takeaways: When multilateralism is stuck, give room to minilateralism and ad hoc -coalitions, also embracing partial agreements, noting the dangers of forces comprehensiveness (pushing early elections etc).
