On Monday, a group of ex-politicians from Eastern Europe, Germany and Sweden sent a letter to President-elect Trump, warning him against striking a “new grand bargain with Russia” and pressing him to keep sanctions in place, threatening that otherwise “American greatness would erode.” But not everyone agrees that the US needs to take a hard line.
The letter to the President-elect, obtained and published by the Washington Post, urged Trump not to risk the “peace, predictability and security” gained “through our victory in the Cold War” by making overtures to Russia. “The prospect of a new grand bargain with Russia” would “endanger this historic achievement,” the letter claimed.
Furthermore, saying that “it would be a grave mistake to end the current sanctions on Russia” slapped on Moscow in 2014 over the crisis in Ukraine, the politicians, who include former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, ex-Slovak Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda, and ex-Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, stressed that renewed American-Russian cooperation would “demoralize” Ukraine’s pro-European and pro-American forces.
