‘If Ukraine fails, war will come to the streets of European cities,’ former foreign minister says

www.cnbc.com ‘If Ukraine fails, war will come to the streets of European cities,’ former foreign minister says

Ukraine "cannot sit on its hands" while Russia continues to escalate, Kuleba told CNBC.

Summary

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned that if Ukraine falls to Russia, the conflict could spread to European cities, as Putin might target the EU next.

Kuleba emphasized Ukraine's NATO membership as critical to preventing future wars, dismissing security guarantees as insufficient.

He criticized potential peace settlements at Ukraine’s territorial expense, stressing the need for Moscow to negotiate in good faith.

Amid escalating attacks on Ukraine, Kuleba defended counter-escalation using U.S.-supplied weapons, while Trump criticized Biden’s support for strikes inside Russia.

I said “at random” for a reason. The likelihood of choosing all three of the least preparable nations is 1/1000. I don’t believe you chose randomly, and therefore would like to indicate that your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.
- But I could have chosen randomly, your post might be read by a billion people each rolling their own set of independent dice, and that's why you don't leave engineering to theorists.
  ...and it's the three least populous nations, btw. Together about 2m people. About the average of Lithuania and Slovenia, a bit more than a tenth of Romania, or about 0.45% of the whole of the EU.
  
  Truthfully, I realized all of this, including the specific countries someone might choose, and giggled at my coming retort as I wrote the comment. Get baited, nerd.
- Lithuania Latvia Estonia.
  
  And your father smells even more of elderberries in the morning than the evening
  
  Ye cool. The point is you think a random function will choose Germany, France, Spain, Poland or Italy. When there is 27 countries in the EU, most of them utterly unprepared for war.
  
  Continued notification game eh? Take the 1
