This morning, I read a disturbing article in Strana that discusses a leaked “plan” allegedly by the United States that looks like it was written by the Kremlin. A plan that would reward Russia's genocidal full-scale invasion. A plan that is spitting at the graves of all Ukrainians who have sacrificed their lives to defend their sovereignty, freedoms, democracy, and European security—because if Russia senses a victory, its bloody imperialist ambitions will not stop, and NATO countries will be in the crosshairs of potential Russian invasions. I really hope what was leaked is not true, but in the case that it is I’m listing the details.
With these swirling reports and rumors, one thing is clear: Europe must step up and ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Ukraine’s sovereignty is not only a moral imperative; it’s also a linchpin for European security. A Russian victory, or even the perception of one, would only embolden further aggression. Now more than ever, Europe must unite, increase its support for Ukraine, and make sure Russia is defeated in Ukraine. This is the only way forward for the security of Ukraine and Europe.
