Bruno Cardoso Reis, historian, argued that European states should have reacted in a much firmer way to Russian attacks. His position comes in the context of the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, which has been intensifying in recent times.
According to the historian, European states should have sent a clear signal that this escalation cannot continue unpunished. His analysis points to the need for a more assertive response from Europe regarding Russian military actions.
Cardoso Reis's position reflects a line of thinking that understands that European passivity may have contributed to the continuation and worsening of the conflict. The historian emphasizes that it is fundamental that Europe demonstrates firmness in its positions.
