... the tangled knot of international problems. We thus need to prepare ourselves for long and difficult negotiations. Launching this most difficult of mechanisms should be our key priority right now.

They may lead to Russia’s marginalization, the destruction of its reputation and new attempts to erode its role in the UN Security Council.
