It is worth simply remembering that for eight years, starting with the annexation of #Crimea and until February 24, when the #Russian Federation decided to completely destroy #Ukrainian statehood, #Europe did practically nothing. As, however, and #America.

Against the backdrop of sanctions, normal relations continued, Nord Stream 2 was being built, and #France and #Germany continued to sell so-called dual-purpose goods to #Russia. That is, they actually helped build the Russian army.

Governance of the West is in the hands of managers, not politicians, ready to make decisions with historic responsibility. So we have a situation in which, on the one hand, there is an understanding that Ukraine needs to be helped....

...tand on the other hand, there is fear of Ukraine's victory, because Putin's defeat creates a new geopolitical reality in which these people do not they see places for themselves.
