Fear of confronting Putin will lead to Russian victory in Ukraine
"The magnificent resistance of the Ukrainian people has drawn the admiration of the whole world, but we must have no illusions. Without a clear shift in policy by the United States, NATO, and the European Union (EU), Ukraine will not win.

Fear of confronting Putin will lead to Russian victory in Ukraine
So far, the war in Ukraine has taught Vladimir Putin that NATO and the EU will go to great lengths to avoid confronting him. This has grave consequences for Ukraine itself and for the wider international community.
