In the early hours of February 24, the war was once again a reality in Europe. After weeks of mobilizing troops to the border and arguing that they were just military exercises in the face of growing global alarm,Vladimir Putin gave the order to attack Ukraine by air and land. Behind the implausible excuse of “denazifying” the former Soviet republic was his growing concern about the western turn of the kyiv government and its possible entry into NATO.
