Ondřej Ditrych on the possibility of the US withdrawing troops from the Eastern Flank

Discussing what a further withdrawal of US troops would mean for Romania and the Black Sea region, Ondřej Ditrych told Libertatea that it would encourage Russia's plans to reshape the European security order in its favour. However, given the Black Sea region's strategic importance, he does not anticipate major changes to the US military presence there. "Troop withdrawals and redeployments are likely to have a more pronounced impact on other parts of Europe," he argued. (in Romanian)
