Ukraine’s Newest Threat? A Renegade Security Service

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has a decades-old reputation for strong-arm tactics, but its silencing of dissent has become especially brazen over the past several weeks. At the end of August, SBU officers ejected a number of journalists from the country, including two Spanish reporters removed for anti-Ukrainian “propaganda” after reporting Ukrainian government shelling of civilian areas in the fight against separatists.

The Republic of Ireland between an economic boom and the British rebus

The levels of economic growth are again those achieved in 2007, but, after the Brexit, the neighboring country will become extra-EU. Although the Irish are the most Europeanist on the continent, the market in the Republic is very integrated with the United Kingdom (part of which, Northern Ireland, is on the island).

RIDING THE RUSSIAN ROLLERCOASTER

The Kerch Strait Bridge is a metaphor for Putin's Russia

Illegally annexed Crimea will soon be physically linked to Russia. The bridge over the Kerch Strait is almost reality. A $4.5 billion project, which is also a metaphor for Putin's Russia.

Kim Jong-un’s missiles come from Russia or Ukraine, experts say

Could Estonia’s Digital Solutions Solve Europe’s Policy Challenges?

If it hadn’t been for Brexit, the UK would have been starting its six-month term in the rotating presidency of the EU’s Council of Ministers this month. Instead, the schedule shifted and the Baltic nation of Estonia is in the driver's seat, where it has a rare opportunity to set the tone for the EU’s broader agenda. In the case of Estonia, that primarily means preaching the benefits of digital governance to its neighbours.
