This edition is the second issue with a number of short comments on the ongoing conflict around Ukraine. The comments are authored by a variety of experts and focus on different aspects of the crisis and ongoing dynamics. The contributions cover the fast-track extraterritorial naturalization of Donbas residents, the question whether the Russian people would punish Putin for invading Ukraine, war optimism on both sides, and the impact on global security of the recognition of the “Luhansk People’s Republic”/”Donetsk People’s Republic” by Russia.
