The West can show “weakness” when it comes to dealing with geopolitical crises, according to Kyiv’s high-profile mayor.
For his part, Klitschko has been publicly critical of the response of one of Ukraine's European allies, Germany"The behavior of the German government leaves me speechless. The defense ministry apparently hasn't realized that we are confronted with perfectly equipped Russian forces that can start another invasion of Ukraine at any time,"."What kind of support will Germany send next?" he asked.
NATO is not obliged to defend Ukraine but it has beefed up its deployments in eastern Europe in case of a possible attack. Some countries, including the U.S. and U.K., have sent military hardware to Ukraine to help it defend itself but others, like France and Germany, are looking at talks with Russia and Ukraine in an attempt to break an impasse over what is largely seen as a battle over geopolitical influence between Russia and the West, with Ukraine in the middle.
On Tuesday, Putin accused Western nations of ignoring key Russian security concerns and said that the U.S. wanted to"contain Russia" and that it was using Ukraine to do that. "Let's imagine that Ukraine is a NATO member state and it initiates a military operation. What should we do then, [should we] fight against the NATO bloc? Did anyone think at least something about that? Apparently not."
