The Hill: Ex-Pentagon Russia official: Administration needs to do more to deter Putin
The United States needs to do more to deter Russian aggression, the Pentagon’s former top Russian policy expert said Wednesday.
“We have to actually deter,” said Evelyn Farkas, who until Friday was the Pentagon’s deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. “Some of that has to do with where we move our forces.”
Speaking to a reporters roundtable hosted by the Defense Writers Group, Farkas offered her insight into Russian President Vladimir Putin and broke with her former bosses to advocate for more shows of force to deter the Kremlin.
