Will there be a war with Ukraine?
On March 17, a small victorious annexation of Crimea took place. The United States on the same day responded with sanctions, which, in fact, are ridiculous. “The first round of sanctions was to send a signal to Moscow that if it goes further, then we will go further,” said Karl Bilda, head of the Swedish Foreign Ministry. On March 18, speaking in the Federation Council, Vladimir Putin made a speech in which he actually declared Russia's rights to the southeast of Ukraine.
