PM's top security adviser says Europe faces hard winter to keep pressure on Putin
Powell said Europe must keep economic, military and diplomatic support for Ukraine despite winter gas shortages and other hardships, as pressure on Putin is working.
- At the Yalta European Strategy forum, national security adviser Powell warned Europe faces a hard winter and potential gas shortages, urging nations to endure hardship to maintain political, military, and economic pressure on Putin.
- Powell argued sustained pressure is finally working, noting Russia has suffered 1.5 million casualties since 2022 and stating the strategy aims to force Putin toward a negotiated settlement rather than waiting for Ukraine to surrender territory.
- Declaring the 'so-called Anchorage compromise is firmly dead,' Powell noted Russia no longer claims Trump agreed to Ukrainian territorial concessions, adding Trump has moved to a position 'not leaning in the direction of Putin' as previously observed.
- Ukrainian authorities began evacuating residents from Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, which remain the largest urban centers under full Ukrainian control in the Donbas region as Russia intensifies its campaign to capture Donetsk and Luhansk.
- Citing his experience negotiating the Good Friday Agreement, Powell emphasized maintaining communication with Russian officials to prevent miscalculation, defending recent CIA visits to Moscow as 'very important to maintain contact' to avoid unintended escalation.
