Part 9/9:
The current trajectory of EU and U.S. policies toward Russia carries profound implications not only for European security but also for global stability. The reluctance to engage in dialogue coupled with an aggressive narrative could lead to increased hostilities and a stagnant diplomatic landscape. Sachs asserts that if Europe fails to take this moment to rethink its approach, the region may find itself increasingly trapped in a cycle of militarization without meaningful prospects for peace. Addressing these challenges may well require a reassessment of long-held beliefs about power dynamics and security arrangements within Europe, promoting a broader understanding of collective security that includes substantial dialogue with all parties involved.
