The unhappy low assistance in Ukraine, a false hope for “friendly relationship” with Russia and the recognition of Crimea occupation are mistakes that the West should avoid in confrontation with aggression, Andryus Cubilyus emphasized.
The European Commissioner on Defense Andris Cubilyus named five mistakes that the West could repeat in the Russian War against Ukraine, which gained in parallel from World War II. He said this during the Kyiv Security Forum on Friday, May 9, informed the EP.
First He considers the inadequate assistance to Ukraine. According to Cubillus, the EU and USA allocated nearly 40 billion euros – a huge amount, but it was less than 0.1% of their GDP and less of their own defense costs.
The European Commissioner emphasized that such a policy is unreasonable, as Ukraine is fighting not only for itself, but also for the safety of western countries.
Second He called the hesitation to clearly define the aggression and the victim, Third – Hope is after the end of the hostility, the West will bring back a good relationship with Putin.
“It is impossible to plan a ‘friendly relationship with the biggest threat and request an increase in defense costs to prevent this greatest threat,” he emphasized.
Cubilyus added that the implementation of the promise of friendship with Aggressor Putin would motivate him to continue aggressive policy, as well as other authority regimes.
Fourth He considers Crimea’s job recognition as a mistake. He remembered the example of Czechoslovakia, where in 1938 Hitler Germany’s invasion began.
“The requirements for Ukraine to provide part of his territory to aggression Putin is a literal and tragedy repeating the mistake of chamberlain history,” he emphasized.
Fifth A mistake is a refusal to join Ukraine with NATO.
“Russia demands that Ukraine never become a member of NATO not because it is afraid of NATO attacks …, but because NATO is afraid that Ukraine will defend Ukraine,” the European Commissioner said.
Remember that Cubilyus is convinced that the ban on Ukraine’s entry into NATO facilitates Russia’s planning to the following invasion.
