Vladimir Putin

Putin's aggression is not just aimed at Ukrainians, it's aimed at the West too. But, time is on our side

We need to tell Putin that if he uses nukes, the West will destroy Russia's military in Ukraine

Politicians love them, but they don’t work and unless you’re a tyrant, they’re unenforceable

We want peace and ought to seek it. However, negotiating with a suspected war criminal is far from desirable

His sabre-rattling is a sign that the invasion of Ukraine has misfired - but what happens next could be even worse

Mary Dejevsky, who wrote a piece in The Independent headlined “Putin should have been invited”, believes so

The Kremlin has been meddling in Italian politics and will be pleased with what it sees

Ukraine has learned lessons from the battlefield but Russia has not. The result is humiliating for Vladimir Putin

Renewables aren’t just about saving the planet any more – they’re a means of helping to loosen Russia’s grip on the continent and preventing future fuel price hikes

Putin blames Zelensky for the fatal car bomb that killed an ally’s daughter. Whatever the truth, the Kremlin’s dictator should be worried

The dictator is gearing up for a new assault - and the West must act decisively to prevent it

The torture and destruction of Ukraine is just a practice run for the same routine to be used against Europe

The West missed warning after warning when it comes to Putin. We mustn't fall into the same trap with his peers

The establishment, where the Russian leader developed a liking for German beer, has now also taken down its shrine to the president

The exiled head of Belarus’s shadow government explains why Alexander Lukashenko must be sanctioned for his part in the invasion of Ukraine

Putin’s horrific aggression will prove a turning point in the history of our continent

Were Putin to remain intransigent and the current negotiations turn out to be just an elaborate ruse, then the UN should reserve the right to shift to more of a peace enforcing role

The vicious conflict in Ukraine could lead to even more deaths from hunger far beyond the country’s borders as grain exports from the region grind to a halt and global food prices soar

If Hobbes is right, perhaps the only way to maintain peace is to have a powerful world organisation that can enforce international laws and punish states that break them

And, the West cannot risk letting the Russian dictator playing it
