Russia

Euroviews. Navalny is the latest martyr of Russian totalitarianism

Italy

Euroviews. The Italy-Albania migration deal is cruel and counterproductive

Deals with non-EU countries simply exacerbate the dangers and suffering that people in need of international protection face by pushing them into the hands of smugglers or traffickers, and onto ever more perilous routes, Harlem Désir and Susanna Zanfrini write.

Indonesia

Euroviews. The threat of Russian interference in Indonesia’s elections is real

As a relatively new democracy, the 14 February election will be another litmus test for Indonesia’s democratic resilience, and as the recurrent player in the disinformation arena, all eyes will be on Russia, Ross Burley writes.

Tech News

Euroviews. Europe must work together and develop space tech for its defence
