Grieco in Responsible Statecraft: Biden under pressure to do things that will only escalate Russia-Ukraine violence

By Atlantic Council

On March 15, Kelly Grieco authored an op-ed in Responsible Statecraft on the steps the Biden administration can take to promote a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine and avoid escalation. 

“The pressure to act in the coming days will be enormous. Harrowing images of Ukrainian suffering will stir public conscience, and the calls for Washington act will understandably grow louder. But most of these proposals, however well intentioned, are likely to do more harm than good. American and NATO support to Ukraine has helped the country to resist so far, and it should continue, but Washington and its allies must be honest about the limits of that support and aim to bring an early end to this war.”
