| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine | In a new episode of Cold War 2.0 Russia forcefully halted NATO expansion by invading Ukraine, with financial support of China. Although the EU and US denounced the "war crimes" as multiple cities were bombed, several countries opted less severe sanctions to keep importing diamonds and luxury goods and gas (and their loaned money) from Russia, seemingly creating a new iron curtain in Eastern Europe. |
| 2024 Crocus City Hall attack | A mass shooting and multiple explosions on the edge of Moscow |
