In a Carnegie Europe Q&A on whether it is time for the EU to re-engage with Belarus, Balázs Jarábik highlighted the limits of a purely values-driven approach in the current geopolitical context. He argued that the core strategic dilemma for Europe is not merely Belarus, but Russia. Jarábik noted that if the EU refuses any channel to Minsk, even as Washington maintains one, it raises a broader question: how will Europe eventually sustain dialogue with Moscow, which will be unavoidable for its own security?
