RUSSIA'S DECLINE

Whatever scenario comes next, there is little doubt that Russia will enter a period of faster decline. Only in the case of an early end to the fighting, a peace settlement, and Putin’s ouster could Russia hope to stem its loss of power. Even then, distrust of Russia in the West will remain for generations.

FOUR POSSIBLE SCENARI FOR THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR

Source: Atlantic Council

1. A FROZEN CONFLICT SCENARIO

Russia’s war effort in Ukraine drags on for more than a year, as the civilian death toll continues to rise. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains in Kyiv, even with his life in persistent danger from Russian-directed assassination attempts.

PUTIN’S PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION

The Russian political system is a diffuse and informal one, but the closest thing to a true command-and-control nexus for President Vladimir Putin, including non-military interference abroad, is the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, also known as the Presidential Administration (AP, Administratsiya Prezidenta).

SUSPENSION OF RUSSIA FROM THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

The UN General Assembly is empowered to suspend the rights of membership of a member of the HRC in circumstances where that State is committing gross and systematic human rights violations. This requires the adoption of a resolution by the General Assembly by a two-thirds majority of States present and voting, with only yes and no votes counting for this purpose. In other words, the total number of States voting yes in favour of suspension must be two times more than the total number of States voting no against suspension.

TIME HAS COME TO SUPPLY UKRAINE WITH OFFENSIVE WEAPONS

To drive Russian forces out of occupied Ukrainian territories, Kyiv urgently needs more offensive weapons. This would help Ukraine lift the blockade on the cities of Chernihiv, Sumy, and Mariupol. And, most importantly, it would save the lives of civilians who are being held hostage by Russian troops.
