PERSPECTIVE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL ORDER A NEW TRANSATLANTIC RUSSIA POLICY Can the U.S. and Europe work together? James Lamond and Max Bergmann January 2021 A new strategy towards Russia will require a more adversarial stance than practiced by recent administrations. The objective of a more confrontational ap­proach is to reestablish clear redlines both to deter many of Russia’s malign activities and to create an eventual basis for better engagement. This new approach should be multifaceted and deal with is­sues such as sanctions, illicit finance, and Russian military aggression. But it will also re­quire the West to engage Rus­sia on issues of global impor­tance such as nuclear security and climate change. Such a policy will be pursued by Washington regardless of whether Berlin, Brussels, or Paris is fully on board. But the Biden administration should seek to establish a common transatlantic approach.
