- Canada’s outgoing ambassador to Russia returned with advice on crafting a response to Moscow’s “cognitive warfare” campaign against NATO.
- Oil-and-gas sanctions can frustrate Putin’s struggle to finance the war machine if kept in place, the ambassador’s guidance argues.
Why it matters: For NATO, the envoy’s advice puts sanctions directly alongside the alliance’s response to Moscow’s messaging. Continued oil-and-gas restrictions are presented as a way to frustrate Putin’s financing efforts, giving NATO decision-makers an economic measure to weigh as they confront Russia’s cognitive-warfare campaign.
