Opinion: On Ukraine, Armenia seeks to avoid the dark side of history

16 March 2022
Armenia is one of the countries that have had to make difficult decisions whilst positioning itself in the current stand-off between Russia and Ukraine.

GEU Podcast: After Ukraine, can we still talk about soft power? - with Prof Jamie Shea

14 March 2022

UN Secretary General: "The possibility of nuclear conflict, which was once unthinkable, is now possible again."

14 March 2022
United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres told reporters at the UN Headquarters, that the conflict in Ukraine can turn into a nuclear one. "The possibility of nuclear conflict, which was once unthinkable, is now possible again," he said. Noting that Russia's raising the nuclear alert level is a "creepy" development, Guterres said, "The possibility of nuclear conflict, which was once unthinkable, is now possible again. "Ukraine is on fire. The country is being destroyed before the eyes of the world."  Saying that the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on civilians has reached "terrible dimensions", Guterres told the assembled journalists, "Whatever the outcome, there will be no winners in this war, only losers."
