"Ukrainian forces are not an easy target. Our troops have combat experience from the last eight years of fighting on our borders, they are motivated, know the terrain of their country much better than the Russians and – crucially – have mass support among the local population."
"Kyiv’s complex geography means it is impossible to seal the city off. However, even if Russian troops do take Kyiv, which would be very hard, they will face a strong attack from Ukraine’s army units in return."
"The cost of economic measures, as well as equipment, would be nothing compared to the potential cost of major European war. When it comes to potential damages, the price of peace is free.
We need the west to take this action now, today, before we wake up in a new dark reality"
