Former NATO Advisor Recommends Negotiation Strategy with Putin.


Foreign policy and military expert Zbigniew Brzezinski asserts that the West can stop and force Putin to the negotiating table if it uses a strategy akin to the Cold War.
The essence of his statement is that the West should fully utilize its economic and military advantages instead of excessive negotiations. The expert recommends focusing on undermining Russia's ability to continue the war against Ukraine.
According to Brzezinski, Russia can be defeated in this war, but it is necessary to consider their mindset. He advises the West to apply Cold War tactics, including supporting Ukraine through military means, imposing economic pressure on Russia, and launching an informational campaign against the political elite in Moscow.
The main goal is to force Putin to focus on his country's problems and abandon his expansionist ambitions. Only by applying Cold War tactics can this goal be achieved.
The expert believes that the West must strike at the Russian economy, cut off access to Western financial systems, and reduce Russia's energy revenues. It is also important to undermine Putin's authority in Russia by engaging the Russian people.
Zbigniew Brzezinski emphasizes that Ukraine must join NATO to achieve long-term security. He warns that even after signing a peace treaty, peace between Russia and Ukraine may be threatened for generations due to Russian incursions.
Brzezinski calls for a prolonged, yet stable confrontation with Russia to ensure peaceful relations with Ukraine.
