“One way to deal with this concern would be a Europe-focused containment strategy,” the publication said.

The author of the article clarified that this strategy should be aimed at alleviating various kinds of concerns without undue provocation and pressure on Russia.

According to DerSimonian, France and Germany have already begun moving in this direction.

The columnist added that the source of tension between Russia and European countries is the fact of the presence of American troops on the border. The author proposed replacing these troops with German and French ones, which, in his opinion, would reduce the degree of confrontation between the countries of Poland and the Baltic countries with Russia.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has not yet achieved the goals of the special military operation, since denazification is one of them.
