The TAG Russia Strategy 2024″ provides a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to dealing with Russian aggression and its long-term implications for NATO and the broader international community. The strategy highlights the failure of ‘Plan A’—a rapid resolution of the war in Ukraine—and pivots to ‘Plan B,’ which calls for building Western strength in a systemic confrontation with Russia and its supporters.
The policy paper outlines five core lines of action—military, information, resilience, economic, and diplomatic—designed to deter further Russian destabilization and aggression. By reinforcing sanctions, enhancing military readiness, and maintaining open diplomatic channels, the strategy aims to reshape Russia’s behavior and ensure the defense of the international rules-based order. It stresses the importance of transatlantic unity, especially the critical role of European allies and Canada, while emphasizing the need to sustain support for Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty.
Moreover, the TAG Russia Strategy emphasizes the long-term nature of this strategic competition, suggesting that NATO allies must prepare for a future marked by increased Russian and Chinese challenges to Western influence. The document advocates for continued military deterrence, diplomatic engagement, and robust economic measures to prevent the erosion of European security and global stability.
