De-escalation with Russia requires a bigger show of Western strength
Original: Opinion | De-escalation with Russia requires a bigger show of Western strength
A Washington Post opinion piece argues that Western countries cannot meaningfully de-escalate tensions with Russia through concessions alone. The author contends that only a stronger, more credible display of Western military and political resolve will push Moscow toward negotiations, warning that perceived weakness risks further Russian aggression. The argument feeds into ongoing debate among allied governments over how much support to sustain for Ukraine and how to position themselves in future talks with the Kremlin.
Why now: Debates over Western military support for Ukraine and the right approach to Russia remain highly contentious in allied capitals.
