German Security Experts Call for Diplomacy Over 'Alarmist' Russia Policies

A statement from 15 experts warns against exaggerated fears of Russian aggression, urging a shift toward hybrid threat mitigation, diplomacy, and arms control.

Bei Kursk sollen 430 ukrainische Soldaten gefangengenommen worden seien, berichtete Gerassimow. Putin sagte, dass Gefangene human behandelt werden sollten. Ausländische Söldner fielen aber nicht unter das Kriegsvölkerrecht. Weiter sagte er, dass auch ukrainische Soldaten in Kursk nach russischem Recht als Terroristen gelten. Strafverfahren seien eingeleitet worden.

Overview

  • A group of 15 security experts, including academics and a retired brigadier general, argues that the perceived threat of a Russian attack on NATO territory is overstated and lacks credible analysis.
  • The experts emphasize that hybrid threats, such as cyberattacks and sabotage, are more plausible than conventional military aggression from Russia.
  • The statement criticizes current 'panic-driven' security policies in Germany and Europe, warning that they exacerbate tensions without addressing underlying security challenges.
  • The authors advocate for a balanced approach to European security, combining defensive investments with arms control, confidence-building measures, and diplomacy.
  • They argue that NATO remains significantly stronger than Russia militarily, even without U.S. support, and call for political compromises to end the Ukraine conflict.
