Summarized: The article discusses former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s views on Europe’s response to the Ukraine war. Marin argues that it is morally and strategically unacceptable for Russia to outspend Ukraine on defense. She suggests that Europe could close the resource gap between Ukraine and Russia by allocating just 0.2% of its GDP. Marin emphasizes that supporting Ukraine is a matter of will and that Europe must take leadership in its own security. She also notes that Europe can no longer rely solely on transatlantic cooperation for its defense. Marin’s comments were made in the context of a report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, where she now works as a strategic advisor.
You’re not wrong, but it’s a bad idea to rely on just one country for something so important. Every nation should stand against hostile foreign powers by helping Ukraine defend itself. Step up that funding!
Agree, but we have abdicated our position as leader of the Western alliance, to the great danger of everyone except the blyats and the Chinese.
Oh I think we’re poised to do much worse than simply abdicating our position as leader of the Western alliance. Right now as we speak representatives from the United States and Russia are hashing out an agreement, without representation from Ukraine or any other part of Europe, which will see Russia immediately assume ownership over sovereign Ukrainian territory immediately, leaving the Russian army inside Ukraine to invade and take the rest anytime it likes. We’re not gone neutral here, we’re squarely on the side of the Russians.
Yes, and it pisses me off. Republicans are traitors, and we should treat them as such.
Can individuals also support Ukraine? What about corporations? Does Ukraine accept donations from private entities?
Yes, anyone can donate. Here’s the official site setup by the Ukrainian government: https://u24.gov.ua/
Yes, they have since the very beginning of the war
