As Vladimir Putin continues his assault on Ukraine, Russian aggression is tightening its grip on the region. Not only has the war in Ukraine dragged on, but Russia is deepening military integration with neighbouring Belarus, deploying dozens of tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil. Nearby Poland is now bracing for further Russian mobilisation, calling on a “heavy brigade” of European Union defences in response. Putin’s dream of a new Russian Empire is not to be taken lightly. But an aggressive Russia is hardly the only obstacle to peace and prosperity in the region. Lukashenko’s regime ...

Most candidates belong to the four of...
