Economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs delivered a fiery address at the European Parliament, launching a blistering critique of U.S. foreign policy and NATO's role in the Ukraine conflict. Speaking at the "Geopolitics of Peace" event hosted by former UN Assistant Secretary-General Michael von der Schulenburg, Sachs warned that being a close ally of Washington can sometimes prove "fatal." Calling for a more independent European foreign policy, Sachs argued that Europe must free itself from U.S. strategic influence and pursue diplomacy grounded in geopolitical realities. He reiterated his long-standing view that NATO's eastward expansion ignored Russia's security concerns and contributed to the outbreak of the devastating war in Ukraine. Rejecting accusations that his views align with the Kremlin, Sachs insisted his analysis is based on historical facts and strategic realities, not loyalty to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
