More work from Strategic Europe
Ukraine: Between a Rock and a Hard PlaceEuropean allies once again find themselves on the sidelines as Ukraine tries to salvage something from a messy and potentially dangerous peace plan. It will fall on Kyiv and Brussels to ensure that no negotiated ceasefire leaves the door open to renewed Russian attack.
Taking the Pulse: Are Europe’s New Asylum Policies a Betrayal of its Values?Hard-line approaches to asylum policy are increasingly common, with crackdowns proposed even by parties that traditionally hold liberal views on migration. Does this shift represent a break with Europe’s fundamental values?
Time for Europe to Break the Bank on UkraineWith U.S. aid largely discontinued, European leaders have no choice but to unlock Russia’s sovereign assets in order to keep Ukraine afloat. Only a long-term military and financial commitment can help Kyiv prevail.
Armenia's Election Is a Foreign AffairAs the 2026 Armenian election approaches, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is facing fierce opposition from both Russia and the diaspora. He will need the help of Europe, the United States, and regional neighbours to advance his ambitious foreign policy.
China Is the Weak Link in Europe’s Ukraine StrategyChina plays an increasingly active role in the Kremlin’s hybrid war against Europe. The EU must confront this growing China-Russia cooperation, as it poses grave threats to both European security and economic resilience.
