- Canada’s outgoing ambassador to Russia returned with advice on crafting a response to Moscow’s “cognitive warfare” campaign against NATO.
- Keeping sanctions on oil and gas can frustrate Putin’s struggle to finance his war machine.
Why it matters: The recommendations put sanctions policy alongside NATO security policy: oil and gas measures are tied to Putin’s war financing, while the diplomatic response targets Moscow’s “cognitive warfare.” For Canada, the stated approach maintains pressure on the war’s funding and an information campaign against the alliance at the same time.
