While it’s good to see a movement away from Merkel’s disastrous appeasement of russian imperialism (and Schroder’s open collaboration with the russians), it still remains to be seen if Europe will actually take a sober approach towards russia.

For starters, start putting real pressure on all European companies that cooperate with the russian government. Even to this day, many military use items from European companies are sent to russia via intermediaries in central asia. And that’s just one example, there are many more (Hungary, Greek shipping companies, the list goes on and on).
