Very good piece, thank you Andriy Portnov for the carefully observed debate in Germany with the final questions: Notwithstanding the Putinversteher, it seems that, despite their best efforts, there is a growing understanding in Germany that Putin`s politics do have a global dimension. After all, his politics question all existing international institutions and the entire system of international law. In this sense, Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and the ensuing global information war poses a number of challenges to the EU (especially given its complicated decision-making process): how should democracies stand up to an authoritarian nuclear power? How can pacifism prevent war with a violent aggressor? And how can freedom of speech deal with disinformation? https://opendemocracy.net/od-russia/andriy-portnov/germany-and-disinformation-politics-of-ukraine-crisis
