These postwar preparations should begin as soon as possible, even if a ceasefire were not to be reached until much later:

• Replace or reform the OSCE,
• Keep the Russia-Ukraine negotiations going,
• Define and prepare a mechanism to maintain the ceasefire,
• Rethinking the Russia-Europe balance in a different way.

These various points will be covered in separate articles in the coming days and weeks.
