West Must Fully Commit to Help Ukraine Win Russia’s War

Eugene Czolij

During a recent interview, the former Commanding General of US Army Europe (2014-2017), Lieutenant General (Retired) Ben Hodges, stated that Western commitment is not yet fully geared for Ukraine to win the war and its decision-making and provision of aid to Ukraine was incremental and “drip, drip, drip.”

“Unfortunately…our administration, the German government, and several other governments have not yet fully committed to helping Ukraine win…The priority from the administration seems to be escalation management…that’s why you end up with bad policy decisions or policies that just don’t make any sense, and they’re not connected to an end state. If you have a clearly defined end state, which I think should be to help Ukraine defeat Russia because it’s in our strategic interest, then we would be providing them everything they need to defeat Russia…”

Several Western countries have clearly not heeded this important message and are projecting a noticeable decrease of military aid to Ukraine.
