The West needs to take specific and concrete steps now to help Ukraine grind the Kremlin’s brutal geopolitical conquest to a halt and prevent a Third World War.
A disturbing combination of troubling geopolitical developments needs to be addressed by the West to prevent the Kremlin being further emboldened in its imperialist quest to progressively endanger our collective security.
These troubling developments include:
(a) the open debate on whether US President Joe Biden is fit to run for re‑election in November 2024.
(b) the public declarations by his challenger, former US President Donald Trump, who is ahead in the polls, criticizing the financial aid provided by the US to Ukraine, and claiming that he could end Russia's war against Ukraine by the time he would be inaugurated in January 2025 (this is without providing any details on how this could be done short of compromising Ukraine’s sovereignty).
(c) the initiation of Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the European Union with a defiant visit by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Russian President Vladimir Putin without an EU mandate.
(d) a hung parliament in France following volatile elections that will cause political instability in France and the EU.
