Overview
- Retired general Vincenzo Camporini said he left the magazine’s scientific council over incompatibility with a line he argues fails to uphold international‑law principles after Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
- His exit follows recent departures by Federigo Argentieri, Franz Gustincich, and Giorgio Arfaras, bringing the total to four high‑profile collaborators leaving in a short span.
- Critics allege a long‑standing bias against Ukraine, citing maps that depicted Crimea—and at times parts of Donbas—as Russian and recalling a pre‑2022 TV claim that Russia would not invade.
- Director Lucio Caracciolo rejects the accusations, defending Limes as an analytical forum that publishes opposing viewpoints and noting he removed the departing names upon request.
- Recent coverage indicates no announced change to Limes’ editorial approach, with the dispute feeding a broader public debate over how analytical media should operate during wartime.
