This CEPS Explainer written by CSS' Henrik Larsen highlights several qualitative insights about the war in Ukraine derived from classical realism, which seem more relevant to the conduct of Western foreign policy than those formulated by 'neorealists' who prefer a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine war . His insights make a convincing case for continuing and perhaps increasing the military support to enable Ukraine to liberate further territory.
