Dossier: Against a New War in Europe

Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)

In this dossier we look at the background and consequences of the war in Ukraine. We analyse the causes of the conflict and take a closer look at the situation of people affected by the war. We also listen to left-wing voices from Ukraine and Russia, discuss the possibilities of a peaceful solution to the conflict, and ask what needs to be done to stop the war.

One More Message from Ukraine

Volodymyr Artiukh / Commons (Kyiv)

Russia’s toolkit is different from that of the US, it is not hegemonic, as it relies on brute force rather than on soft power and economy. Nevertheless, brute force is a powerful tool, as you all know from the US behaviour in Latin America, Iraq, Afghanistan and all over the globe.
