“In 2021, Russia supplied 45% of the EU's gas and 27% of its oil. By 2024, these dropped to 19% and 3%.”
Isolating Russia may be impossible. That is an artifact of trade dependencies established by the international liberal order to ensure peace through partnership. That global realignment intended to eliminate war has actually increased the difficulty of avoiding and ending wars. Ukraine's...
