Back in July we published Valerii Pekar’s warning: Russia’s next strike may not be tanks, but drones, missiles, cyberattacks, sabotage & proxy actors. Today’s provocation looks eerily close. What do you think?

Europe has all the necessary resources to defend itself. The problem is that governments and societies do not see that war is inching closer.

The European Union has the financial resources to defend itself. But it lacks the political will to do so. This political will needs to be asserted and require important decisions to be made now, writes Jean-Yves Leconte for NEE:

In other words, the coalition of the willing is unwilling to help until Ukraine doesn't need its help. Surely at some point someone has to realise that this approach just incentivises Putin to keep the war going?
On troop deployment:

Macron *very* clear twice: only the day *after* the ceasefire, and any deployment must be part of a "ceasefire, a truce, or a peace agreement". In other words: no European boots on the ground before an agreement.

Poland bet on investment in its military way beyond any other European NATO member state and that investment paid off dividends with the Trump White House. Yesterday's visit by Polish President Nawrocki got solid commitment from Trump.

American troops will “be staying in Poland” — and potentially more could be stationed there, U.S. president says.

Saying that we will provide security guarantees that will be put in place once there is a ceasefire that will not happen has nothing to do with security guarantees. It's just a grim fairy tale.
We must stop playing with words. It is not decent.
Ukraine's security depends on russia's defeat.
Period.
