In a commentary in Fortune, Sarah Kreps, the John L. Wetherill Professor of government, writes that the U.S. and NATO policymakers are navigating a tight balancing act as Russia continues its deadly onslaught in Ukraine.
“They must signal their resolve to help Ukraine, deter additional Russian moves westward, and avoid a direct military confrontation with a nuclear power,” Kreps writes in the piece with co-authors Richard Clark and Don Casler. “Several critics have called for more military support, whether by establishing a no-fly zone or providing Ukraine with additional weaponry. However, there is another tool that the West has yet to take full advantage of–a non-military option that minimizes the risk of escalation but can have a tremendous role in sidelining Russia’s war machine: International financial institutions.”
