  • You can also subscribe to our fortnightly recap of expert analysis of the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Since neither side is backing down from its preferred outcomes from the conflict, it looks set to be a long war.

Geopolitics

    • It was difficult not to appreciate the irony of Finland’s decision to join Nato on April 4.
    • But the addition of Finland as Nato’s 31st member effectively doubles the alliance’s land border with Russia.
    • Finland’s accession also adds a country with an already robust defence policy and a well-funded military to the alliance.
    • It’s hard not to see its decision to join as something of an own goal for Putin.
