The West is failing to invest against Russian encroachment in Georgia, choosing instead to break relations. Francesco Foti argues that Western disengagement will prove a serious obstacle to Georgia realigning with the West.
As the West tires of Russian hybrid warfare, Francesco Foti argues that NATO and the EU should learn from history. To avoid further damaging consequences, they must do all they can to maintain a forceful, non-compromising and united response
Francesco holds an MA in International Relations and Security from the University of Westminster.
He focuses on NATO-EU relations, the Russo-Chinese influence, Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine), the Western Balkans (Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), the South Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), and the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Cyprus, Turkey), on which he has published widely.
He has particular interest in the Red Sea crisis and security in the Eastern Mediterranean.
