SCFR Online – Opinion: The Russia-Ukraine war and the war of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran have been formed with different objectives and actors, but field and political developments indicate that they are not entirely separate from one another.

Strategic Council Online– Opinion: The experience of three and a half years of Russia’s war with Ukraine and the tensions it has had with the West within this framework have shown that the Russians have not only given in at any stage in the face of Western pressure, including sanctions, but this has also led to an escalation of tensions, differences, and conflicts, both in the region and in Russia-West relations. In practice, any effort in this regard has so far had at least negative results for the Ukrainians, and they have faced increased Russian attacks.
