The current stance of the West on the war in Ukraine has been criticized by the U.K’s defense secretary, Grant Shapps. In an interview with Sky News, Shapps expressed concerns about the delays in military aid to Ukraine, calling the situation “completely nonsensical.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky had earlier mentioned that Ukraine’s international partners seem to be more afraid of Russia losing the war than supporting Ukraine to win. Shapps emphasized the importance of acting promptly to support Ukraine and prevent unnecessary loss of life.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, especially in the Kharkiv region, has intensified, with Russian forces advancing into Ukrainian territory. Despite the escalating situation, Western military aid, particularly from the U.S., has been slow to arrive.
Zelensky has urged for continued support and highlighted the need for Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression. The stakes are high, and the outcome of this conflict will have significant implications for the global order and the future of democracy.
