What happened

Is Moscow deliberately escalating the war in Ukraine?

Why it matters

The increasing number of Russian drone incursions into European airspace has left the EU struggling to come up with a swift response.

Common ground

In this edition of The Ring, two lawmakers from two Nordic countries that are usually seen as in Moscow's crosshairs discuss the latest from the war in Ukraine.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
