The losses are not embarrassed by the Kremlin. What should Ukraine and partners be done to bring peace to the continent

"It is quite symbolic that more and more from European politicians the definition of the current state on the European continent as a" pre -war "(emphasizing that" postwar "has already ended). Why the Russian opposition should be put on a completely different planned strategic level when every ally knows - Who, how much and what does in the appropriate period of time on a regular and permanent basis, this year, next and further.

" The thought in the third year of a full -scale war in the east of the continent gradually reveals the realization that "somewhere there", in the Ukrainian steppes, it may not end, if not start to prepare yourself and not think how to increase assistance to Ukraine.

Some talk about the need to increase NATO defense expenditures up to 3% of GDP, others create their own long -term defensive funds, others initiate a return to conscripts for conscript service in the army and restart the OPC, the fourth - propose to install the bar for military support of Ukraine at the level, level For example, 0. 25% of GDP.

Quintessence has been unexpected for many NATO Secretary General for the creation of a long -term (five -year) Fund for Military Support of Ukraine with a total volume of EUR 100 billion. In terms of the latter, most politicians and experts immediately have very big doubts.

If you remember what strokes have succeeded after two months of heavy discussions to add to the European Peace Fund, where there was virtually nothing from the beginning of 2024, only 5 billion euro Yatero larger the sum causes a very big skepticism. Especially against the backdrop of a candid statement by EU High Commissioner and Security Policy J.

Borrel that there is no 50 billion in the EU to replace the US assistance if it falls out (and here it was 50 billion non -military support that Europe is looking at in Europe It is easier for several orders of magnitude than when talking about any militaristic expenditures). Whatever it is-intensifying the discussion about war and the prospects of the coming years for the continent is in any case useful.

The aggressor state allows itself with the tacit consent and support of the mostly poor but well-performed population, it is easy to allocate almost $ 120 billion a year to the war, it will gradually reach consensus in matters to push further to the "right answers". And here requires mobilization not only of production capacity but also of finances. The thesis is very pleasant that the total GDP of the Ukrainian States of Ukraine is 50 times more than that of the aggressor state.

Unfortunately, physically fighting GDP, and the aggressor state allows itself with the tacit consent and support of the mostly poor but well-permeable population to allocate almost $ 120 billion a year to the war, which offsets the said "GDP comparison" . . .

It is important not to underestimate the enemy, not to underestimate the enemy, And to update military strategies, to strengthen the "stock" armed forces, to increase the ability of the defense forces repeatedly-and this is our chance to repel the common enemy of discussion, the willingness to go a long way to achieve a wide consensus or compromise-these are fundamental things inherent in any democracy.

But in the current civilization war, it is a weak link in confrontation with autocracy, which for centuries lives on the principle of "we are not fast.

" Therefore, it is important not to underestimate the enemy, to prepare for all possible, even hypothetical scenarios (even those who are not very or not like), to update military strategies, to strengthen "with a stock" armed forces, to increase the ability of the OPC - and this is our chance to repel common the enemy, and return the just peace to the continent.
