Vladimir Putin's insane assault on Ukraine makes Russia the worst of the rogue states. Shattering the Ukrainian democratic experiment, the Russian dictator intends to subjugate all the populations of the former Soviet empire, control the international energy and agricultural markets and distribute prebends. But how to impose worldwide silence and disinformation? Its false narrative will collapse when the Russians learn of the abuses committed in their name. Along with weapons and sanctions, information will determine the outcome of the conflict. May Ukraine join the European Union! The EU has all the tools it needs to give this country the democratic future that the courage of its people promises.
