America must join Europe in the spy war against Putin

In response to Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine, the European Union has pushed back on the Kremlin in robust language that President Vladimir Putin understands.

The EU has expelled more than 350 Russian diplomats from embassies on its soil. This represents an unprecedented move outside full-scale war. Beginning in mid-March, EU countries commenced coordinated expulsions of Russian diplomats, mostly spies, across the continent. The effort has ramped up this week in response to reports of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, prominently in the devastated Kyiv suburb of Bucha.
