![]() The EU’s package of sanctions will become the first phase, not the last, of an escalation. But Europeans need to do more, because Putin’s revisionism of the post–Cold War order will continue regardless of the military outcome of the invasion of Ukraine. ![]() This response was rightly being prepared while all diplomatic avenues to de-escalate the crisis were being pursued. Huge efforts made over the past weeks enabled the approval of a strong sanctions package less than twenty-four hours after the invasion of Ukraine began. Until two days ago, Europeans were discussing what Russian action would trigger what sanctions, while the Russian military was encircling Ukraine.īut even if they have done so in slow motion, Europeans have prepared and will unite around this crisis. The contrast between Europe’s slow motion and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rapid full invasion of Ukraine could not be starker. An opportunity for Ukraine to regain full control of its territory may arise only in the post-Putin era-and it is uncertain when that era will begin. The Ukrainian government and citizens will be more determined than ever to orient themselves westward. Ultimately, the war is a high-risk gamble on the part of Putin. And even among the majority of Ukrainian citizens who will not engage in open resistance, there will be no loyalty toward Russia.

Ubisoft never chose to release or update the game on Steam to match the “Complete Edition” released elsewhere. It’s possible that the Steam version was unable to be patched to reliably remove online features or it had other hardware compatibility issues that Ubisoft was unwilling to address. ![]() As Ubisoft was removing the game from Steam it was also releasing it on GOG.com as the “Complete Edition”, although without online multiplayer. The reason for the game’s delisting remains uncertain. ![]() Massgate also offers a questionably legal, free downloadable version of the game.
