One source cited
by Politico explained that Farkas “has advised three secretaries of
defense on Russia policy, providing steady counsel on how the U.S.
should respond to Russia’s aggressive actions and has been deeply
involved in securing $244 million in support for Ukraine.”
While the Obama administration has been criticized – even by some
former insiders – for its perceived permissiveness regarding Russia’s
aggressive military action, Farkas has maintained the Defense
Department’s more aggressive stance. During a 2014 Senate testimony, she
described Russia’s occupying forces as “an affront to the international
order that we and our allies have worked to build since the end of the
Cold War.”
Though early reports do not offer any official reason for her
departure, there has been speculation that her motivation lies in a
disagreement with the administration’s foreign policy positions.
