Whatever threats coming out of Moscow, foreign diplomats should not leave Ukraine. And they won’t.
Russia however, should leave. It was never invited, never wanted. It could end the war by leaving today.
Instead, it continues its illegal occupation and heinous violence against innocent civilians.

Today's volatility is fuelling sovereignism and attacks on the European Court of Human Rights. But adjusting protections or creating a hierarchy of rights holders will not solve our crises. National security is at its best when it embraces human security for everyone.
