  Also, when it comes to Russia, Ukrainian intelligence is top notch due to historical ties.

  But TBH, I do think Europe needs to find a way to make peace with Russia and with the Middle-East, specifically Turkey, Egypt and Iran.

  They are our direct neighbours. The cold war idea that we could have a powerful friend across an ocean, while having strained relationships with our direct neighbours just isn’t going to be a good strategy going forward.

    Good relationships go both ways. It’s pointless to be friendly to an abusive partner. It’s not just Russia but the US as well now.

    Peace with Russia is difficult as long as Russia isn’t interested in peace, which they clearly aren’t

      Russia is interested in peace as long as it gets to dictate the terms, and install its own people in the new Russian territory.

    Not disagreeing, we should strive for good or at least civil relationships with our neighbors, even if we don’t exactly like each other, but the problem is that

    • any agreement or peace deal with Russia isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, they’ll just ignore it when they want to
    • make peace with one country in Middle-East, you’ll anger another
