New post out:

We have a fascinating guest post looking at how Putin has ratcheted up his campaign against Europe - through hybrid warfare, global alliances and support for malicious actors.

Also looks at whether/how the escalation will continue.

Don’t see any signals Moscow is interested in pursuing this track (grain corridor, energy ceasefire, bilateral Ukr-Rus meeting) … or what U.S. can offer the Kremlin. www.axios.com/2026/09/24/z...

Zelensky: U.S. pushing energy ceasefire, trilateral talks with Russia

The Ukrainian president remains skeptical Russia will takes steps to de-escalate.

These summits are too embarrassing - and too dangerous, with Trump's instability - and the country would be safer and better off if our president weren't hosting them.
