During an Inspiring Round\u00adtable last week, we discussed the West\u2019s future Russia policy on the basis of four key countries\u2019 approach \u2014 Poland, France, Germany and the US. Some short takeaways:<\/h3>\n

1) A Russian defeat in Ukraine is key for the future European security order and the condition for any new beginning with Russia. The West urgently needs to agree on the outcome of this war and provide Ukraine the military and financial assis\u00adtance to win.<\/p>\n

2) Strength\u00adening Ukraine and Russia\u2019s European neigh\u00adbourhood is the best insurance for peace and security in Europe. It is also the most effective lever to influence devel\u00adop\u00adments in Russia for the better. Any future European security order must include Ukraine.<\/p>\n

3) As long as the current regime and its revan\u00adchist policies are in power, there is no security with Russia, but only security against it. Containment and deter\u00adrence plus support for the democ\u00adratic opposition are the coordi\u00adnates of our future Russia policy until further notice.<\/p>\n

4) We cannot spare Russia the farewell to empire. Without trans\u00adfor\u00admation into a nation state with defined borders, there can be no sustainable peace in Europe. To break the imperial nostalgia, the shock of defeat in Ukraine is needed.<\/p>\n

5) The West must confront Russia from a position of strength. Every signal of weakness is under\u00adstood as an invitation to cross the next border. This is above all a lesson for German politics.<\/p>\n
