Ukrainian authorities reported dozens of Russian missile and drone attacks on April 21, just hours after US President Donald Trump voiced hope that an agreement would be reached between the two countries this week. Strikes were reported in Kyiv and other Ukrainian towns and cities. A man was reportedly injured by shelling in Kherson. A Ukrainian drone strike was reported in Russia’s Belgorod region.

It is sometimes difficult in the multi-dimensional world of Middle Eastern geopolitics to see the bigger picture, and this has certainly been true for many looking at the ongoing conflict between the south and the north of Iraq. The most notable superficial manifestation of this in recent times has centred on the continued embargo of independent oil sales from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) in the north by the Federal Government of Iraq (FGI) in the south. However, this dispute has never fundamentally been about oil. It is instead…
