The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not just about territory but also about Ukraine's future, particularly its potential NATO membership. NATO leaders are urged to support Ukraine's defense and commit to helping Kyiv with reforms to prepare for NATO membership. The Kremlin's strategy aims to manipulate US decision-making to advance Russia's interests.
"It's laudable that the nation's leaders want to protect their young, but in a war for survival, Ukraine simply needs more soldiers," writes Brian Bonner, the host of Hromadske Radio's podcast "Ukraine Calling," in his guest op-ed. https://t.co/uevzrk1mbO
“Russia’s war on Ukraine is about more than just territory: it is about Ukraine’s political future,” write @IvoHDaalder and Karen Donfried. https://t.co/dABVNMxPuC
The Kremlin is flooding Western discourse with false and irrelevant narratives, forcing us to expend decision bandwidth on irrelevancies rather than solutions. More in my latest @TheStudyofWar essay’ "Denying Russia’s Only Strategy for Success.’ https://t.co/ufvycORCBT 1/2 https://t.co/fGVH207nUH
When NATO leaders convene in July, they need to commit to helping Kyiv build a modern military—and make an end to armed conflict a condition for Ukraine’s accession, write @IvoHDaalder and Karen Donfried. https://t.co/GHcEfbyw6u
My latest with @TheStudyofWar. The Kremlin’s principal effort is to force the US to accept and reason from Russian premises to decisions that advance Russia’s interests, not ours. The Kremlin is not arguing with us. It is trying to enforce assertions about the Kremlin-generated… https://t.co/fGVH207nUH
The Kremlin’s focus on degrading US decision-making is not opportunistic, new, or limited to Ukraine. Perception manipulation is a key element of Putin’s offset strategy – a way to achieve goals beyond the limits of Russia’s power.🧵(1/4) https://t.co/jkt7fja9LR https://t.co/BGYXzfDXNx

“Russia cannot defeat Ukraine or the West – and will likely lose - if the West mobilizes its resources to resist the Kremlin…If we lean in and surge, Russia loses…The Kremlin’s only real hope of success [is to] get the United States to the sidelines.” https://t.co/THn6NPl9q1
"The notion that the war is unwinnable because of Russia’s dominance is a Russian information operation...The Kremlin must get the United States to the sidelines, allowing Russia to fight Ukraine in isolation" from @TheStudyofWar https://t.co/CAq5TpK2dK
To prepare Ukraine for NATO membership, the alliance’s leaders need to commit to working together to help Kyiv finalize key democratic, anticorruption, and security sector reforms within a year, write @IvoHDaalder and Karen Donfried. https://t.co/Ml5G8ZXCnM
Russia cannot defeat Ukraine or the West – and will likely lose - if the West mobilizes its resources to resist the Kremlin. That the war is unwinnable due to Russia’s dominance is a Kremlin information operation & a glimpse into Russia's real strategy & only hope of success.🧵 https://t.co/WEQR2buRzD
When NATO leaders meet this July in Washington for their 75th anniversary summit, they will need to build consensus on Ukraine within the alliance—and step up their support for Ukraine’s defense, write @IvoHDaalder and Karen Donfried. https://t.co/HPR05jlwDM

“At the Washington summit in July, NATO leaders should agree to invite Ukraine when the fighting has effectively ended, either through an unlikely Ukrainian victory or through a durable cease-fire or armistice.” https://t.co/Px8n9xOciB
Russia's war on Ukraine isn't so much about territory as about controlling Ukraine's future, I argue with Karen Donfried in @ForeignAffairs. Russia's ultimate strategic defeat will therefore come the day Ukraine joins NATO. https://t.co/iKtORhvpVp
