Failure to agree a common defence strategy risks emboldening Vladimir Putin. The squabbles have to stopThe closer Russia’s hybrid war comes to European capitals, the less EU leaders seem able to agree on how to respond.

Don’t know if you’re allowed to do that.” He was trying to force some tittering, an old lounge act gag to rouse a dead audience. “You know what? Just have a good time.” The comedian who felt his ro...
