The West will have to improve relations with Moscow after the completion of a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, writes Gerald Hyman, senior adviser at the American Center for Strategic and International Studies, in an article for The National Interest .
According to him, statements about plans to permanently sever contact with Russia are wrong, and severing ties with a country like the Russian Federation “does not seem reasonable”. Hyman urged the West to plan both long-term and short-term policies shrewdly.
The expert also recalled Russia’s geography, resources, armaments and history, saying that even if relations with the West are broken, it is impossible to cut off the Russian Federation from the world. According to him, in the event of a breakdown in relations between Russia and the West, the two parties “will pay a huge price”.
He also noted that rapprochement between Russia and China is also not in the interests of the United States.
Gerald Hyman said last August that the West needed a strategy to avoid burnout in Ukraine because neither side of the conflict could continue like this.
