On Sunday, the Belarusian regime seized a Ryanair flight passing over its territory in order to arrest journalist Raman Pratasevich. While the European Union’s reaction to this brazen incident was swift, its overall policy on Belarus – or its lack thereof – suggests that the EU is unsure of the right path forward, is uncertain of its leverage, and fears that there are no good options available for it to take. The EU worries that sanctioning its neighbour will encourage Russia to ramp up its influence in the country, bringing little benefit to either the EU or to Belarusians opposed to the regime. This has led Brussels to adopt a toothless ‘wait and see’ tactical approach, as if hoping that the crisis will resolve itself.

Ukraine is once again a focus of Russia’s foreign policy. Many theories have been put forward to explain Moscow’s massive concentration of military forces along the Ukraine border: it is preparing for invasion, it is testing the Biden administration, and so on.
It is unclear why Russia should have mounted a major offensive at this particular moment. Moscow has been consistently strategic in its thinking about military actions since 2008. It has always pursued a concrete military objective: prevention of NATO expansion to Georgia (2008) and protection of its military bases in Crimea (2014) and in Syria (2015).
