Easily said. Recall that the Kremlin has its hand on the thermostat of most of Europe, and winter is now upon us.
Indeed. So any such agreement obviously involves massive investments in energy, buying US LNG, and countries that aren’t dependent on Russian gas agreeing to subsidize those that do short term.
The international community needs to set up a better list of consequences for specific acts by Russia, before they happen. Because we know they’ll all happen again. All of them.
E.g repeated ASAT test: Russian nationals’ assets seized abroad, Russian students thrown out from foreign universities.
Unmarked Russian vehicles proven used in places they shouldn’t be? Novichok poisonings? Arrests of opposition politicians? Nord stream gas line cancelled.
Annexation of territory? disconnect Russia from the international banking system and ban buying Russian gas.
