Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visit to London, where he received strong support from European leaders, has raised hopes that the continent can come together to aid Ukraine. However, the question remains whether this unity will be enough to save Ukraine.
On Sunday, Sir Keir Starmer suggested forming a “coalition of the willing” among European countries to defend Ukraine against Russia’s invasion. This move aims to demonstrate solidarity and provide military and economic support to Ukraine.
Michael Clarke, Sky’s defence and security analyst, explains that a coalition of this nature could take various forms. It may involve member states contributing troops, providing financial aid, or offering strategic support.
Clarke notes that the European Union has already imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. However, more concrete steps are needed to provide tangible support to Ukraine’s beleaguered government.
The question of whether Europe can save Ukraine depends on several factors, including the level of commitment and cooperation among European countries, as well as the effectiveness of any aid provided. With ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, time is of the essence in determining the efficacy of this effort.
