"There will certainly be no quick and easy victory for President Vladimir Putin."
"Today is expected to be a very fierce battle focusing on the capital city Kyiv."
"Why should young Ukrainians die just for the absolute absurdity of some medieval concept of history and empire?"
"Is this Putin’s Bosnia strategy – keep Ukraine as a failed state, destabilised and unable to join NATO or the EU?"
IWPR mourns long-time friend and colleague who made a profound contribution to regional democracy.
In a world still consumed by the pandemic, the classic role of the press remains as essential – and as under attack – as ever.
As we celebrate achievement, we remember that there is much more to do.
