After Alaska: Security Guarantees, Ukraine, and Europe’s Dilemma
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
In this episode of The Russia Contingency, Michael Kofman sits down with Franz-Stefan Gady to examine the uncertain future of European security. They unpack Europe’s reactions to the Alaska Summit, the fraught debate over security guarantees for Ukraine, and the questions leaders continue to avoid — what risks they are truly willing to take, and whether Ukraine can be fully integrated into Europe’s security architecture. The discussion also probes evolving battlefield dynamics, the consequences of U.S. strategic realignment, and the credibility gap at the core of Europe’s defense posture, drawing on recent trips to the front and Gady’s book The Return of War.
