  • Mother of all sanctions: Can the West do without Russian oil and gas?
    Europe's first full-scale invasion of a sovereign state since World War II, a refugee crisis to match and an endgame sure to upend more than just the West's resolve: as the EU turns up the heat on Vladimir Putin, it's already asking citizens to turn down their thermostats. How will citizens react if on the one hand, Russia conquers Ukraine and on the other, the price of crude oil shoots past $200 a barrel? How to make do without Russian oil and gas?

    Does the West go all in? A third day of broken ceasefire promises in Ukraine clearly illustrates that Russia has gone all in and will not settle for anything short of victory on the battlefield.

  • Collective response: Is Europe doing its best for Ukraine?
    As bells ring out across Europe in support of Ukraine, refugees fleeing the country are now in excess of a million. On the Polish border, women and children part ways with the men who must return and fight against Russian forces. France has welcomed the first Ukrainian refugees with open arms. Their plight is uniting public opinion more than the Syrian refugee crisis ever did. Meanwhile, military supplies have been sent to Ukraine...but is this enough?

    With the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv devastated and the capital Kyiv braced for an attack by a massive Russian convoy, we're asking whether the US has made the right calls on Ukraine. The message of Joe Biden's State of the Union address was one of solidarity with President Volodymyr Zelensky. But seen from Kyiv, will this feel like enough?
