Hahn highlights the hypocrisy of promoting democratic values while stifling free speech, and he challenges prevailing narratives on NATO and eastern European security fears.

Gordon Hahn, author and senior researcher on Russia–Ukraine relations, breaks down recent Abu Dhabi talks and the energy truce. He outlines territorial bargaining over Donetsk, explains why Russia may resist concessions, and examines Ukraine’s domestic pressures from ultra‑nationalist forces like Azov.
