This is the harsh conclusion drawn by Hal Brands, Bloomberg commentator and professor at Johns Hopkins University. The analyst warns that the world is entering a period of…

European leaders are set to discuss in June the extension of the sanction reapproval period against Russia from six months to a year. The move is now possible, after Viktor Orbán lost last month’s elections in Hungary – he was the one who systematically blocked any such extension and used the renewal process as a political lever, writes Politico. The prospect of extending the reapproval cycle was discussed last week in closed-door meetings, in preparation for the mid-June European summit, according to five diplomats and European officials familiar with the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity, given the political…
