Anders Fogh Rasmussen argues Europe needs a peace-through-strength approach against Russia
By
The Economist
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Anders Fogh Rasmussen argues that Europe should not rush into negotiations with Russia but instead adopt a "peace-through-strength" strategy. He contends that premature talks with Vladimir Putin would reward aggression and undermine Ukraine's position. Rasmussen calls for increased European military support for Ukraine, stronger sanctions on Russia, and a unified Western approach that prioritizes deterrence over diplomacy until Russia demonstrates genuine willingness for a just peace.
