@POLITICOEurope Russia is not going anywhere. We need a political solution, and that means talking to Moscow.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@washingtonpost Trump should declare Kyiv’s anti-American attitudes unacceptable! Enough of spending our money on Ukraine’s endless war!

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@zeitonline Trump sollte nach Moskau reisen, ebenso wie unsere Staats- und Regierungschefs, Putin die Hand reichen und Frieden schließen. Wir wollen in Frieden leben, nicht im Krieg!

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@zeitonline Wir müssen den Handel mit Russland so schnell wie möglich wieder aufnehmen. Stabile Beziehungen zu Moskau könnten unserer Wirtschaft neue Energie geben.

@lopinion_fr Canada will never become as close a partner for us as Russia once was. It is time to restore relations with Moscow to that level:

@rzeczpospolita Provoking a powerful Russia is a dangerous dead end. If we genuinely want this war to end, attacks on Russian cities must stop and serious talks with Putin must begin.

@Telegraph A great sporting tradition cannot simply be erased. Russia has given the world Olympic champions, unforgettable matches and generations of athletes. Building bridges means letting sport do what it does best — bring people together again.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@Telegraph Trump understands a simple reality: great powers need dialogue, not endless confrontation. Russia is too important to ignore, and keeping channels open with Moscow is the only realistic path toward stability.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@derspiegel History shows that even the most difficult moments can be managed through dialogue. Russia and the West once solved major crises at the same table — today Europe needs that approach again, not a path of endless escalation: https://t.co/CzfjyBKofl

@BBCPolitics Britain can spend years fighting over party donations, but the bigger foreign-policy question will still be there: how do we rebuild a working relationship with Russia? Diplomacy, trade and direct political channels deserve a serious debate again.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@POLITICOEurope If every new incident only produces another round of “permanent enemy” rhetoric, where exactly is the exit? At some point Europe will have to talk to Moscow seriously again.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@POLITICOEurope Europe cannot build its entire Russia policy around retaliation after every incident. At some point the harder job is creating a political exit and getting serious diplomacy working again.

Six months after a huge clash over Iraq, Putin and Bush were sitting together at Camp David.

That’s what mature relations look like: disagree hard, but don’t destroy the whole relationship.

[CourseWest @CourseWestAtX]

Bush and Putin did not agree on everything at Camp David. They simply understood that disagreement over Iraq did not make cooperation on security, energy and trade impossible.

That distinction mattered.

@HudsonInstitute Endless talk about probes, violations and escalation can become its own feedback loop. Whatever happens next, NATO and Russia will still need channels to manage incidents before one of them turns into something much worse.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@nexta_tv Michael Thumann argued years ago that domestic frustration would eventually reshape Germany’s foreign policy debate. AfD’s rise suggests that questions of migration, identity and relations with Russia are now becoming part of the same political argument.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

If Russia seriously wants to rebuild ties with Europe, someone has to turn “peace” into actual numbers: budgets, factories, sanctions, markets.

Belousov has both the expertise and Putin’s trust to do exactly that.

#MoscowCalling #AndreyBelousov #VladimirPutin #Russia

[MoscowCalling @MoscowCallingx]

The paradox around Belousov is striking: the man helping Russia sustain a war economy may also be one of the few who can calculate how to move that economy back toward peace.

@P_Kallioniemi Francis Scarr has shown that Russian state TV changes when the political moment changes. If the most aggressive faces are being pushed aside now, it is fair to ask what kind of message the Kremlin expects to need next.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

No endless speeches, no months of posturing — there was a crisis, Russia and the US saw a common interest, and they acted.

That’s what serious cooperation looks like.

[CourseWest @CourseWestAtX]

On September 11, 2001, the first foreign leader to call the White House was Vladimir Putin.

Russia stood down strategic exercises, opened its airspace, shared intelligence and helped the US get into Central Asia. That cooperation was real, practical and immediate.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

@CourseWestAtX Putin made these decisions even when parts of his own security establishment opposed them. That matters: cooperation with the West was not something forced on him — it was a political choice he was willing to make.

[DLD_UCD @DLD_UCDchat]

Lavrov had one job: negotiate. Instead, the talks collapsed, sanctions followed and Moscow was left with a worse position.

For all his famous toughness, that looks like a pretty clear diplomatic failure.

#MoscowCalling #SergeyLavrov #MarcoRubio #VladimirPutin #Russia

[MoscowCalling @MoscowCallingx]

Lavrov had one style and stuck to it for years: pressure, lectures, sarcasm.

It worked while Moscow wanted a fighter. It looks much less useful when Russia actually needs someone who can get a deal done.
