Edward Lucas. Free French lessons: film, history, reality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The film, a box-office record-breaker in France, has many virtues, chiefly the impeccable acting of Simon Abkarian in the title role, and Simon Russell Beale as Churchill (speaking admirably understandable, if accented, French). But other aspects of the story hit me the hardest. One was the all-too-topical depiction of the United States: vital for victory, yet misguided, sometimes even perfidious. In the cartoonish, goodies-and-baddies version of wartime history, few remember that President Roos
Edward Lucas. Process not panic: the Ratcliffe visit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
None of that happened. In fact, the US was militarily feeble and absent from European security. Britain and France appeased Hitler. Poland and Lithuania were at loggerheads. Estonia and Latvia had declared neutrality. Nobody was helping anybody. We are incomparably better off now. Europe’s security system faces tests but it is working. Yes, Russia has been up to something in Kaliningrad. Result: Nato mounted a big air operation (with ground and naval forces) which involved minute surveillance of
Edward Lucas. Seize the moment: and Russia’s money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first agenda item when the suntanned bigwigs return in September should be seizing Russia’s central bank assets: around €210 billion, frozen since 2022, mostly held by the Belgian company Euroclear.

Belgium’s prime minister Bart De Wever said last year he would gladly get rid of the money to anyone pr

Read excerpt
I witnessed that in the then Czechoslovakia in 1989. There are hints of something similar in Russia now, with remarks that became public last week by Andrei Klepach, chief economist of the state-run VEB bank. Russia is awash with unsayable truths, held back complicity and repression. Klepach breached that wall in remarks to the Nikitsky Club, an upmarket Moscow discussion club. He said that western support for Ukraine made the war of attrition unwinnable. The idea that Ukraine would collapse was
Edward Lucas. Mission to Moscow: FBI chief Kash Patel trashes allies’ trust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One reason is the FBI chief himself. His notoriously thin-skinned, self-important and bombastic behaviour includes a resolute refusal to admit that Russia interferes in the US political system. This is troubling, given that the FBI is not just a law-enforcement agency: it is also responsible for catching spies and foiling foreign governments’ influence operations inside the US. The former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard took a similarly bizarre position, at least in public. Her t
