Commentary and Analysis

The Chicago Council Survey findings come at a pivotal moment as Ukraine seeks further US commitment with no end to the war in sight.

The spate of civil-military crises is a product of countries dealing with their new positions in a shifting global order, Paul Poast argues.

"This is the last moment at which to pull the plug on Ukraine. It is absolutely vital we continue," Ivo Daalder says on CBS News.

It's not too soon to consider the role of accountability, particularly criminal accountability, in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, David Scheffer writes.

"Once bullets and projectiles start flying, the variables at play multiply, and in the ensuing chaos there are limits to what can be controlled," Paul Poast writes.

Russia needs munitions for the war in Ukraine, Bruce Jentleson explains, while North Korea wants technology for its space program.

The goal of Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not to defeat Russia per se, but to convince the West its continued support is worth it, Paul Poast argues.

Even if BRICS has not yet accomplished anything concrete, the message of dissatisfaction its expansion sends to the West is deafening, Paul Poast writes.

Russia intends to win its brutal offensive against Ukraine by any means necessary—even if those means condemn millions to hunger and starvation.
