ROSATOM: A Difficult Target

Alexandra Prokopenko assesses Russian nuclear energy monopoly Rosatom’s international activity in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine and U.S. and allied efforts to apply economic pressure through sanctions. She concludes that in view of U.S. and EU reliance on Rosatom for uranium and enrichment services, “reducing Rosatom’s global role will not be quick, easy, or cheap”.

    Strategic Europe
    Russia’s Imperial Retreat Is Europe’s Strategic Opportunity

    The war in Ukraine is costing Russia its leverage overseas. Across the South Caucasus and Middle East, this presents an opportunity for Europe to pick up the pieces and claim its own sphere of influence.

  • Commentary
    Is the Radical-Right Threat Existential or Overstated?

    Amid increased polarization and the influence of disinformation, radical-right parties are once again gaining traction across Europe. With landmark elections on the horizon in several countries, are the EU’s geostrategic vision and fundamental values under existential threat?

    The Nuances of Oscar-Winning Film “Mr. Nobody Against Putin”

    It’s disingenuous to criticize a film for simplifying Russia’s complexities when Russia is waging a brutally simple war of aggression against its neighbor.
