Writing for The Hill, Russell Berman, a former State Department adviser and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, expressed concern that Europe could cut aid to Ukraine due to domestic economic problems. .
Berman noted that the Western coalition providing military support to Ukraine faces serious challenges. The recent nationwide strikes in Germany and the massive protests in France against pension reform are prime examples. The longer the conflict in Ukraine drags on, the more likely it is that European allies will lose interest in participating in that conflict.
These statements underline the need for the Ukrainian government to do everything possible to minimize the impact of economic factors on the military support of the allies. They can also inspire Ukrainian leaders to step up their efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
