We have reached the two-year anniversary of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion. Yet NATO and the Western alliance, in most cases, remain shockingly underprepared and uninterested in the realities of the war. They do not recognise the danger they are in if Ukraine falls to Putin, our 21st century version of Hitler.
Ukrainian forces have recently had to retreat from Avdiivka. There is only one reason that our brave soldiers have had to withdraw – a lack of ammunition and supplies. We are conceding ground because many of our allies have decided that we no longer deserve unquestioning support.
If we lose, Putin will not stop. He will see the West’s weakness and he will continue his warmongering path through Europe. Putin only acknowledges military force and strength. Tyrants are geopolitical maniacs, they never stop, that only can be stopped.
