Russia is a dangerous enemy even in the midst of military weakness because of its ability to inflict atrocious damage on Ukraine. If the Russian authorship of the attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam was confirmed, Vladimir Putin wanted to launch yesterday.

Europe will have to cushion with even greater support for Kiev in the region. The objective, now with all the more reason if possible, must be to achieve a just peace that defeats authoritarianism and does not allow crimes like this to go unpunished.
