America Needs a Maximum Pressure Strategy in Ukraine

4 comments

1. Submission Statement: Dr. Alina Polyakova argues that the United States needs to adopt a “maximum pressure” strategy against Russia to bring a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine. The Trump administration should use a combination of economic sanctions, military aid to Ukraine, and diplomatic pressure to force Russia to the negotiating table. This approach would involve expanding sanctions to cover all Russian banks, targeting Russia’s oil and gas exports, and providing Ukraine with advanced military equipment. The goal is to establish a position of strength vis-à-vis Russia, which would ultimately force Moscow to compromise and lead to a sustainable peace in Ukraine.

   So, what exactly was Biden doing? And how is this going to break the stalemate in Ukraine’s favor when hasn’t so far?

3. So Dr. P is looking for a broader expansion of the war across Europe. The calculation is different with Russia compared to most countries, they’re not as rational.

4. Tightening sanctions seems like a no-brainer.

   Crimea is nearly an island and would be the easiest to cut off from Russia.
