Cipher Brief Chief International Correspondent Ia Muermishvili is in Tblisi this week, where she sat down with two Eastern European leaders who are calling on western countries that are supporting Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine - to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to target Russian airfields deep inside Russian territory. Chairman of Estonian Parliament's foreign relation committee tells us that Russia, under President Putin's leadership, aims to reshape the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe and alter the global order. Marko Mihkelson highlights Russia's efforts to form alliances with China, Iran, and North Korea, which on a global level aligns with China's broader strategic interests. Speaking about his perception of the post-election U.S. policy towards Russia, Rihards Kols argues that showing fear towards Russia and accommodating its demands could signal weakness. He emphasizes that the outcome of the war in Ukraine will directly impact the future national security of the United States, urging U.S. leaders to understand the importance of a decisive response to Russia's actions.
