But the war has hardened Putin’s resolve and narrowed his options. There is no turning back: Putin has already transformed Russia’s society, economy, and foreign policy to better position the Kremlin to take on the West. Having accepted the mantle of a rogue regime, Russia is now even less likely to see a need for constraint The stage is set for the confrontation with Russia to intensify, despite the incoming Trump administration’s apparent interest in normalizing relations with Moscow. The war is not going well for Ukraine in part because the limited assistance the West has sent to Kyiv does not match the deep stake it claims to have in the conflict Russia is likely to walk away from the war emboldened and once it has reconstituted its military capacity spoiling for another fight to revise the security order in Europe the Kremlin will look to pocket any concessions from the Trump administration for ending the current war Russia is already preparing the ground through the sabotage and other special operations it has unleashed across Europe and through its alignment with other rogue actors European countries are only slightly more prepared to handle the Russian challenge on their own than they were three years ago And depending on how the war in Ukraine ends the possibility of another war with Russia looms The question is not whether Russia will pose a threat to the United States and its allies but how to assess the magnitude of the danger and the effort required to contain it. China will remain the United States’ primary competitor. But even with much of its attention called to Asia, Washington cannot ignore a recalcitrant and revanchist adversary in Europe, especially not one that will pose a direct military threat to NATO members and generally violate accepted norms—and his seeming ability to get away with it—paves the way for others to do the same.The Kremlin’s provision of military equipment and know-how to current and aspiring U.S multiplying the challenges that Washington will face from China The United States and Europe must invest in resisting Russia now or pay a far greater cost later does not have the luxury of shoving Russia down its list of policy priorities he will grow only more brazen and ambitious in his efforts to weaken the United States and its allies both directly and through the axis of upheaval that Russia supports Washington and its allies must help Ukraine strengthen its position ahead of negotiations to end the current war The United States is right to prioritize China but in order to effectively compete with Beijing it first needs to set European security on the right path Washington must remain the primary enabler of that security for now while making sure that Europe ramps up the investments required to better handle its own defense in the years ahead By taking the steps necessary to counter Russia today the United States and Europe can ensure that the threat they face tomorrow will be a manageable one Putin has changed Russia in ways that will ensure it remains a challenge to the West as long as he is in power and likely well beyond Confrontation is now the hallmark of Russia’s foreign policy with Putin citing his country’s “existential struggle” with the West to justify his regime and its actions This idea of a Russian civilization in constant conflict with its Western foes strengthens the ideological foundation of his rule—a source of legitimacy he now needs to safeguard his hold on power Putin’s increased reliance on repression has generated risks to the stability of his regime Political science research shows that repression is effective in the sense that it increases autocrats’ longevity in office can raise the prospect that leaders will make destabilizing mistakes Heavy-handed tactics compel people to mask their private views and avoid sharing anything but what the government wants to hear High levels of repression also create a rising reservoir of general dissatisfaction so that even a small outburst of discontent can quickly spiral into trouble for the regime To mitigate these risks and reinforce his hold on power Putin has used his control over the information environment to convince the Russian people that their country is at war with a West that wants to break it apart Putin has also reoriented the Russian economy around his war Russia’s defense spending is set to reach its highest point since the collapse of the Soviet Union with $145 billion allocated in the 2025 budget—the equivalent of 6.3 percent of GDP and more than double the $66 billion Russia budgeted for defense in 2021 And the true amount of such spending will likely be higher unofficial forms of defense-related expenditures are accounted for (When also adjusting for considerable differences in purchasing power parity between Russia and the United States Russia’s actual defense spending is much higher than $145 billion exceeding $200 billion.) Russian factories producing military equipment have added shifts to increase production; workers have moved from civilian to military sectors where the wages are higher; and payouts for military service have skyrocketed The war has become a wealth transfer mechanism channeling money to Russia’s poor regions and many economic elites have moved into the defense sector to cash in on lucrative opportunities adjusted to the system’s current configuration enabling them not just to survive but to profit from it Having gone through the pain of shifting the economy to a wartime footing and feeling the pressure of new vested interests Putin is unlikely to undo these changes quickly he will probably instead look to justify the continuation of the wartime economy Such was the inclination of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin soon began to speak of Moscow’s new five-year plans as necessary preparation for the next inevitable war Russian foreign policy is also transforming in ways that will be difficult to undo The invasion of Ukraine has made it impossible for Russia to build ties with the West and Moscow has had to look for opportunities elsewhere and North Korea may have been driven largely by necessity: Russia needs their help to sustain its economy and warfighting machine But Moscow also understands that by working with these countries it is in a better position to sustain a long-term competition with the United States and its allies Not only does their support make Russia less isolated and less vulnerable to the United States’ tools of economic warfare; Russia also benefits from having cobelligerents working in tandem to weaken the West The Kremlin has gone all in on these partnerships having abandoned caution in cooperating with North Korea overcome its concern with overdependence on China and elevated relations with Iran beyond transactional engagement All of this amounts to a new strategy for Moscow one that will not simply disappear after the fighting in Ukraine subsides or ends Russia’s military threat is not going away The question of Russian military reconstitution is not an if but a when Even if Russia cannot sustain its current wartime spending the defense budget is likely to remain substantially above prewar levels for some time to come is unlikely to shrink back to the relatively small army Russia fielded before the war One lesson that Russia’s military brass took from Ukraine is that the Russian army was not “Soviet” enough in that it lacked mass and the capacity to replace losses the Russian military was stuck in a halfway state having acquired some advanced or modernized capabilities but also retaining some Soviet-era characteristics including conscription and a culture of centralized command that discouraged initiative Russia is likely to maintain a large overall force with an expanded structure and greater manpower allocation although it will still depend on mobilization in the event of war to reduce the cost of its standing army Reconstitution is about not just materiel but also the capacity to conduct large-scale combat operations.The Russian military has shown that it can learn as an organization; it is capable of scaling the deployment of new technology such as drones and electronic warfare systems onto the battlefield and it will be a changed force after its experience in Ukraine the Russian military has demonstrated staying power and the ability to withstand high levels of attrition Russia’s military reconstitution will face headwinds especially from the country’s limited defense industrial capacity and skilled labor shortage Russian industry has not been able to significantly scale the production of major platforms and weapons systems Labor and machine tools remain major constraints because of Western sanctions and export controls Russia has still been able to significantly increase the production of missiles and it has set up an effective repair and refurbishment pipeline for existing equipment But it is also drawing from aging stocks that it inherited from the Soviet Union for much of its land force equipment as it expands its forces and replaces losses the Russian military will have a duality to it with areas of strength but equally prominent weaknesses it has become much better at dynamic targeting the integration of drones in combat operations and more sophisticated methods of employing long-range precision-guided weapons Russia has adapted to—and in some cases developed effective tactics to counter—the Western capabilities it confronted in Ukraine Russian forces reorganized logistics and command and control coming up with ways to reduce the efficacy of Western equipment and intercept Western munitions and they have learned to operate with the presence of Western long-range precision-guided weapons Some analysts argue that the way Ukraine is fighting now is not the way NATO would fight in a potential future war with Russia.They contend specifically that NATO would quickly earn and maintain air superiority airpower will not solve every battlefield challenge NATO might face And most European air forces lack munitions for a sustained conventional war The time it would take to deplete their arsenals can best be measured in weeks and in many cases days a substantial percentage of the Russian ground force will likely continue to field dated Soviet equipment and it will take years to rebuild force quality and replace the officers lost in Ukraine.The outlook for Russia’s defense capacity will also depend on whether its economy is running flat out and the defense sector has already maximized production or if there is still room for production to increase as new and refurbished plants and facilities come online the Russian military will remain a patchwork with some parts more advanced and capable than they were at the start of 2022 and other parts still using equipment from the middle of the Cold War But the chances of the Russian armed forces being decisively knocked out and unable to pose a major threat for a prolonged period are low The risks from the reconstitution of Russia’s military are compounded by the West’s lackluster response to rising Russian aggression Europe still has a long way to go before it is prepared to handle the threat from Russia on its own European defense production is insufficient to meet rearmament goals European countries have substantially depleted their stocks by transferring older equipment to Ukraine limiting their militaries’ mobilization potential These countries will soon face the dual pressure of funding Ukraine’s war effort and recovery while replacing their own expended war materiel Given how limited their arsenals were to begin with if they want to be equipped to handle Russian belligerence they will need to build well beyond 2022 levels—not just restore what was lost Current trends suggest that although European defense spending is likely to rise the increases may not be enough to significantly expand military capability Many have yet to meet the commitment made by all NATO allies to spend the equivalent of two percent of GDP on defense defense production is constrained by industrial capacity All these issues can be overcome with sufficient political will but European leaders first have to be clear-eyed in their assessment of the security environment The United States is not going to significantly expand its presence in Europe; at best Washington’s commitment to European security will remain constant as it pushes Europe to do more and there is a real risk that it will turn its focus elsewhere Europe must prepare to foot more of the bill to ensure that Ukraine is in a position to defend itself and to deter future Russian aggression against both Ukraine and Europe as a whole will have to be realistic about Europe’s capabilities Even those countries that are now investing heavily in equipment and procurement are still having issues recruiting And defense spending does not easily translate into the ability to conduct large-scale combat operations and European countries generally cannot execute them without U.S Most militaries on the continent have coevolved to complement the U.S military rather than to operate independently European militaries and NATO have made some progress matching their defense investments with the requirements of regional defense plans But the forces active on the continent are not capable of handling a large-scale war on their own They would find it difficult to agree on who would lead such an operation and who would provide the necessary supporting elements European militaries would struggle to defend a fellow NATO member although the United States should continue to press its European allies to take on more of the security burden Washington must appreciate that it will take a long time for Europe to get there Europe and the United States are not preparing for some far-off threat Moscow is already waging an unconventional war against Europe suspected Russian-backed actors have set fire to warehouses in Germany and the United Kingdom that were full of arms and ammunition for Ukraine tampered with water purification centers in Finland pushed migrants from the Middle East and North Africa crossing through Belarus and Russia to the borders of Poland and Finland targeted railway infrastructure in the Czech Republic and Sweden assassinated a Russian military defector in Spain and even plotted to assassinate the German head of a major European arms manufacturer The Kremlin’s goal with these measures is to show European governments and citizens that Russia can retaliate for their support for Kyiv Moscow’s broader aim in pursuing these tactics is to degrade the West and its ability to counter Russia drive wedges between the United States and Europe reduce Europe’s capacity for collective action and convince Europeans that it’s not worth the trouble to push back against Moscow Part of its strategy is to use nuclear intimidation such as the recent changes to Russian nuclear doctrine that seem to lower the threshold for nuclear use to heighten Western fears of confronting Russia Russia is not in a position to challenge NATO directly The current low-scale conflict with NATO countries is likely to persist until the Russian military rebuilds—a process that could take years But the Kremlin will then be looking for opportunities to further undermine NATO not least because it considers the alliance to be a superior force but it may be tempted if it becomes clear that the allies—the United States the most important among them—lack the resolve for collective defense The Kremlin would be most prone to make this calculation if the United States is engaged in a major conflict with China in the Indo-Pacific which Washington has deemed its highest national security priority Should the Kremlin calculate that Washington would not or could not come to Europe’s defense and that Europe alone would not be capable of victory then Moscow could target a country on NATO’s eastern flank The picture is further complicated by the Kremlin’s propensity for both risk-taking and miscalculation Moscow has seriously misjudged its ability to rapidly defeat the Ukrainian military and to shake Western resolve Personalist autocrats such as Putin are the type of leader most inclined to make mistakes in part because they surround themselves with yes men and loyalists who tell the leaders what they want to hear Washington and its allies should thus not sleep comfortably even if NATO forces are well equipped to defeat the Russian military Having confidence that NATO would prevail in the end is not enough especially having observed what Ukraine is experiencing now: cities destroyed and areas under prolonged Russian occupation a future war with Russia could be devastating for the country it invades and for the NATO alliance The imperative for the United States and NATO is to make sure Moscow never tries The confrontation with Russia will remain most intense in Europe Although the United States and Europe levied significant costs on Russia in the aftermath of its invasion of Ukraine Moscow has circumvented Western sanctions and export controls and defied predictions of international isolation Russia hosted the annual summit of BRICS (whose first five members were Brazil with dozens of world leaders in attendance demonstrating a growing interest in the group’s role as a platform for challenging Western power and influence such as the military balance of power in the region and political imperatives in Beijing will be more decisive in shaping Xi’s calculus Would-be Western adversaries are assessing the price of using force and considering what they might expect were they to launch a similar gambit the inadequate response to Russian sabotage in Europe might encourage other potential foes to get in the game Moscow is also actively aiding opponents of the West Russia has lent support to rogue actors across the Sahel region of Africa dispensing materiel and diplomatic backing that enabled military officials to forcibly seize power in Mali in 2021 and in Niger in 2023 and subsequently curtail ties with the United States and Europe prolonging the country’s civil war and the resulting humanitarian crisis and has lent support to the Houthi militias in Yemen Although the consequences for the United States of any one of these developments may be limited Russia’s actions are magnifying the challenges facing Washington Russian support eased the new government’s decision to force the United States to abandon a base it used to launch counterterrorism missions in the Sahel If Russia were to ramp up its support for the Houthis and provide them with antiship missiles the militant group would be better able to strike commercial vessels in the Red Sea and raise the threat to the U.S Russia could devote significantly more resources and attention to the Houthis and other groups or countries that threaten U.S Some observers have held out hope that China’s concern for its economic interests will induce it to rein in Russia But Beijing’s actions so far indicate no such effort China did not object to Russia’s support for the Houthis Even if Beijing is wary of Russia’s deepening relations with North Korea not least because it does not want to spoil its long-standing relationship with Pyongyang China seems content to let Russia roil the international system and take advantage of the resulting disorder to further its own rise If there is to be any check on Russia’s destabilizing activities and North Korea is among the most pernicious problems posed by Moscow Russia’s war in Ukraine has spurred a level of cooperation among those countries that few thought was possible and the Kremlin has operated as the critical catalyst The arrival of North Korean troops in Russia is a worrisome reminder that with highly personalized authoritarian regimes at the helm in Russia and North Korea and with the regimes in China and to a lesser extent Iran moving in this direction cooperation can evolve rapidly and in unpredictable ways A body of political science research shows that this particular type of regime tends to produce the most risky and aggressive foreign policies Countries with personalist authoritarians at the helm are the most likely to initiate interstate conflicts the most likely to fight wars against democracies and the most likely to invest in nuclear weapons Russia’s growing military and political support for China and North Korea will only facilitate these tendencies by now having shed its concern with its international reputation is likely to become even less constrained in its willingness to aid even the most odious of regimes Russian support for fellow members of this axis of upheaval Although Moscow has supplied Beijing with arms for years—including advanced fighter aircraft and antiship missiles—their defense ties have deepened at an alarming rate officials announced that Russia had provided China with sophisticated technology that will make Chinese submarines quieter and more difficult to track Such an agreement was hard to imagine just a few years ago given the sensitive nature of the technology making a potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific more likely if China believes it has the upper hand Russia’s support for Iran is similarly troubling and it is now supporting the Iranian space and missile programs Since Russia’s intervention in Syria in 2015 to shore up the rule of President Bashar al-Assad—joining Iran in that effort—Moscow and Tehran’s increased interaction has enabled them to overcome a historic distrust and build the foundations of a deeper and more durable partnership Russia participated (if warily) in the international negotiations that led to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal Moscow seems far less interested in arms reduction or nonproliferation As the wars in the Middle East degrade Iran’s proxies and expose the limits of its ability to deter Israel Tehran’s interest in acquiring a nuclear weapon may grow—and it may turn to Russia for help with Moscow offering the expertise needed for weapon miniaturization with Russia shielding Tehran from UN action effectively ending the current era of nonproliferation in the Middle East Russia’s support raises the risk of instability on the Korean Peninsula Pyongyang has requested advanced Russian technologies to improve the accuracy of its ballistic missiles and to expand the range of its submarines in return for North Korea sending its troops And it is not just advanced equipment that could make North Korea more able and more willing to engage in a regional conflict North Korean troops deployed to Russia are now gaining valuable battlefield experience and insight into modern conflict Moscow and Pyongyang also signed a treaty in November establishing a “comprehensive strategic partnership” and calling on each side to come to the other’s aid in case of an armed attack—an agreement that could potentially bring Russia into a fight between North Korea and South Korea It is tempting to imagine that if the United States presses Ukraine to end the war and pursues a more pragmatic relationship with Russia Moscow’s cooperation with members of this axis could lessen and Russia are driven by incentives far deeper than the transactional considerations created by the war in Ukraine concessions made to Russia to end the war would only enhance the Kremlin’s ability to help its partners weaken the United States and in the absence of Western action today the costs of resisting Russian aggression will only rise but its potential to stir conflict remains significant the burden of deterrence and defense against it is not going to lighten in the near term and force posture require significant lead times Washington and its allies must think beyond the current war in Ukraine and start making investments now to prevent Russian opportunistic aggression later on Europe must channel its rising defense spending into expanding the organizational capacity and logistical support necessary to make independent action possible if the U.S Giving in to Russia’s demands will not make it any easier or cheaper to defend Europe—just look at the events of the past two decades Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and its deployment of troops to Syria in 2015—Putin has grown only more willing to take risks as he comes to believe that doing so pays off Washington undoubtedly has competing priorities that will shift its focus away from the Russian threat—China foremost among them Washington must first set European security on the right path The United States cannot simply hand off European security to a Europe that is not yet capable of managing the Russian threat If Washington downsized its commitment to Europe prematurely Moscow could take it as a sign of growing U.S disinterest and use the opportunity to press ahead The Trump administration will first have to manage the war in Ukraine Helping Ukraine achieve an end to the war on favorable terms is the clearest way to reduce the threat of aggression from Russia and the axis of upheaval that supports it This agreement would need to be embedded in a larger strategy to contain Russia and preserve Ukrainian security NATO should do away with the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act which prohibits permanent deployments of allied forces near Russia and station troops on NATO’s eastern flank The alliance should also raise its members’ defense spending targets and improve its ability to deploy forces to defend threatened member states Western countries should maintain and better enforce sanctions and export controls on Russia for at least as long as Putin remains in power Western countries must also invest in Ukraine’s defense sector and ensure that Ukraine can sustain its own armed forces to deter Russia from invading again Although these measures would not end the confrontation with Russia they would blunt Moscow’s ambitions and its capacity to both stir conflict in Europe and strengthen its partners in other parts of the world The Trump administration must also preserve the United States’ role as the primary enabler of European security while working to reduce the burden of its maintenance European states must become more capable of collective action that does not require U.S They may still rely on the United States in some circumstances but the extent of their dependence can be significantly reduced the United States will become freer to focus on China as it shifts more defense responsibilities to Europe chaotic pivot that would only encourage and embolden Moscow and could result in Russia eventually launching a reckless war either against NATO or once again against Ukraine There is no easy resolution to the West’s confrontation with Russia Russian revisionism and aggression are not going away Even if the current war in Ukraine is settled via an armistice without some kind of security guarantee for Ukraine Ignoring Russia or assuming that it can be easily managed as the United States turns its attention to China would only allow the threat to grow It would be far better for the United States and its allies to take the challenge from Russia seriously today than to let another conflict become a more costly proposition tomorrow Subscribe to Foreign Affairs to get unlimited
