"President Vladimir Putin has waged a full-scale war against Ukraine for nearly four years and this week threatened that Russia was ready right now for war with Europe if need be. President Donald Trump has demonstrated that the US is ready to sell out Ukraine for the sake of a dirty deal with Putin's Russia. His new US National Security Strategy prescribes cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations."
"The old Polish rallying cry Nic o nas bez nas! (nothing about us without us!) must now go up from the whole of Europe. Two questions follow. First, can Europe, together with like-minded countries such as Canada, sufficiently strengthen Ukraine and weaken Russia for the former eventually to prevail? Second, will it? A Ukrainian serviceman walks near apartment buildings damaged by a Russian military strike in the frontline town of Kostiantynivka."
Vladimir Putin has waged a full-scale war against Ukraine for nearly four years and threatened that Russia is prepared for war with Europe. Donald Trump signaled willingness to abandon Ukraine for a bilateral deal with Russia, and the new US National Security Strategy encourages cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. A 28-point Trump peace plan resembled a Russian-American imperial and commercial arrangement at Ukraine's and Europe's expense. European leaders attempted to moderate its worst points, but Russia rejected the amended version. The Polish slogan Nic o nas bez nas! (nothing about us without us!) must be invoked across Europe. Two questions arise about Europe's capacity and willingness to strengthen Ukraine.
