How do we decolonise our minds to prevent the Russian war of aggression spreading further around Europe?

2024 marks the year that colonial perspectives on international relations still present in Europe became a threat for European security. The full-scale Russian war of aggression against Ukraine showed the real danger of ignoring the voices of the colonised, repressed and persecuted, and regarding only the former empire as a worthwhile stakeholder in international relations. What would the world have looked like if Russia wasn't received with impunity after it launched its brutal wars of recolonisation against Ichkeria, Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine? Perhaps currently we would not be facing the largest war in Europe since the Second World War.
How do we address the powerful impact of the undercurrents of Russian propaganda that have eroded the foundations of global order over decades?
