Ukraine's Critical Week: West Apologizes, Putin Waits, and War Looms
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Center for European Policy Analysis
The West's promises of support to Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression are empty and insincere. Western governments, the EU, and NATO may initially show enthusiasm and pledge economic, diplomatic, and military assistance, but their attention span is short-lived, and they will soon be distracted by other global issues. The West's support is limited, with broken equipment, incompatible systems, and blame-shifting tactics. They prioritize their domestic agendas over Ukraine's security and apply a harsh double standard, criticizing Ukraine's shortcomings while avoiding criticism themselves. Ultimately, the West will claim credit for victories but blame Ukraine for defeats.
