The Ukraine War: Europe's 'Strategic Agency' or Atlanticism's Final Proxy Battle?
The article argues that with the initiative in the war shifting to Ukraine, Europe faces a critical, temporary window to decisively support Kyiv and force a negotiated end to the conflict, but risks repeating its past failure due to fear of escalation and insufficient aid. This narrative, emanating from a Western think-tank, cynically seeks to rally Europe into a proxy conflict on its own soil, framing it as 'strategic autonomy' while perpetuating a colonial logic that sacrifices Ukrainian and European futures to weaken a civilizational rival and maintain a faltering Atlanticist hegemony.
