This is the time when all responsible nations have to act united in our joint vision for peace. I once again reiterate the call for the USA to establish a permanent military base in Kosovo to strengthen peace & stability in the region & beyond.

Ovo je jasna i racionalna odluka kojom pokušavaju kako da se zaštite od mogućeg napada iz Srbije, tako i da stanu u red za ubrzano članstvo u EU. 

Kad se radi o Belorusiji, nijedna normalna zemlja ne donosi odluku o staicioniranju (tuđih) nuklearnih projektila preko noći i sa većinom od 65% - to bukvalno znači da se pretvaraš u primarnu metu nuklearnog napada.

Russian state TV: “Our submarines alone can launch more than 500 nuclear warheads, which guarantees the destruction of the US and NATO for good measure. The principle is: why do we need the world if Russia won’t be in it?” https://t.co/hvYkhz9DpE

ima svašta u nizu

Idk... Mislim, ok, ali zasto bi Putin morao nesto da zna o ratu (ko da Zelenski ista zna...), ima valjda generale za to?

Druga je stvar ako se petljao u posao.

Ja mislim da je najslabija tacka poduhvata, kao i, ahem, Milosevicevih - sto nema jasnog cilja operacije. Posto je i rat politika i vodi se radi politickih ciljeva - koje je to tacno politicko stanje stvari koje ti hoces da postignes? Ne sta "neces" (Zelenskog, liberalnu demokratiju, ukrajinske desnicare bla bla, nego, sta - hoces?

Josh Lipsky, director of the Atlantic Council’s Geoeconomics Center who previously worked at the IMF, said before the announcement that hitting the central bank would be an “extraordinarily significant and damaging move” to Russia’s economy. “A G20 central bank has never been sanctioned before. This is not Iran. This is not Venezuela,” said Lipsky.

As Fishman explained to the FT, the ultimate sanction would be to add the Russian central bank to the Treasury’s “Specially Designated Nationals” list, that would effectively excluded it from the global financial system. “It would render a sizeable chunk of their foreign exchange reserves unusable overnight” - in the order of $300 billion - Fishman added.

But, for all the fire and fury, the FT team also reported the following:

The goal will be to avoid undermining mechanisms for western economies to purchase energy from Russia. The allies have not finalised the details, but will either carve out certain energy-focused banks or use product definitions in the Swift system to permit energy-related transactions.

In other words, sanctions will be designed to enable continued flows of payments to Russia for energy.

Europe is now operating in a new paradigm where Ukraine should be offered a “special track” toward integration, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Eduard Heger said on Sunday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made a public appeal over the weekend on EU accession, declaring that now is a “crucial moment” to decide on Ukraine’s membership, after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded the country on Thursday.

Slovakia — which shares a border with Ukraine — is advocating for Kyiv’s EU plea to be taken seriously.

“On Thursday morning, we woke up to a new world,” Heger said. Europe, according to the Slovak leader, now needs to give Kyiv a “signal.”

“They fight for themselves, they fight for us — they fight for freedom,” Heger said of Ukrainians. “We have to realize that they are protecting our system, our values and we have to be together with them. So there is no time to hesitate on this,” he said.

The Slovak prime minister argued that a new approach to European integration should be adopted when it comes to Ukraine. There should be a “totally new track” for a country that has gone through a war and “wants to be part of Europe,” he said.
