Pavel Baev argues Western worries about “humiliating” Russia are misplaced, as Putin has already exploited the humiliation theme “to the maximum.” Pavel Podvig analyzes Russian officials’ careful statements and finds the risk of the Kremlin using a nuclear weapon is low. Alexander Iskandaryan observes that Russia, in addition to invading Ukraine, is trying to balance its interests in China, Central Asia, Turkey, Syria, and the South Caucasus. Asked by Foreign Affairs whether the China-Russia alignment will last, Kimberly Marten indicates no since “the economic and political risks of allying with Russia are now clear,” while Samuel Charap and Nargis Kassenova believe it will, with Kassenova noting Russia has no alternative.
