Opinion: De-escalation with Russia needs stronger Western posture
Original: Opinion | De-escalation with Russia requires a bigger show of Western strength
A Washington Post opinion column argues that any genuine de-escalation with Russia over the war in Ukraine can only come from a position of greater Western strength, not concession. The piece contends that Kremlin decisions are shaped by perceptions of resolve, so increased military and financial support for Ukraine is the surest path to meaningful negotiations. It adds to a running debate among Western commentators over whether talks or tougher deterrence better serve peace.
Why now: The ongoing war in Ukraine keeps debate active over whether Western governments should negotiate with Russia or escalate support for Kyiv.
