How can the West deter Russia’s shadow war? Christopher Walker argues that Moscow must face costs high enough to change its calculations.
In this interview with Independence Avenue Media’s Kiryl Sukhotski, Walker, vice president of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), explains why drone incidents, sabotage, and attacks on infrastructure across Europe should be understood as part of a broader Russian campaign.
He discusses what a “sufficiently disproportionate” response could mean, why Ukraine’s security is integral to transatlantic security, and how Russia’s cooperation with China, Iran, North Korea, and Belarus connects threats across regions.
