Analysis: Europe is making once-unimaginable decisions to counter Putin’s aggression

CNN  

CNN — Whatever the ultimate outcome of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has succeeded in one thing: the security map of Europe has been fundamentally altered and things will never return to the way they were before. “The crisis in Ukraine has shattered the illusion that security and stability in Europe comes for free,” one senior European diplomat told CNN. “Based on the conversations of the last few days, most European leaders now seem comfortable with a massive German army if its anchored firmly within the EU,” the diplomat says, pointing out that only a few months ago even putting the words EU and army in the same sentence would spark outrage in most of Europe’s capitals. And as former White House adviser on Russia, Fiona Hill, told Politico this week, when asked if she thought Putin would use his nuclear weapons, in her assessment, “Yes, he would.” A senior Brussels official told CNN that even now, its member states are finding Russian influence too close for comfort. “I think we now understand that making a point of being neutral and not a part of NATO doesn’t mean you are safe,” a senior EU adviser in foreign affairs told CNN.
