Hawks in the West are rushing to support Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky as he is busy declaring to Europe that the Ukrainian armed forces have reestablished battlefield leverage with Sunday's 'Operation Spider Web' massive drone operation.
"Europe, together with America, has better weapons than Russia. We also have stronger tactical solutions – our operation 'Spiderweb' yesterday proved that," he boasted while addressing a security summit in Vilnius on Monday. Represented there were the leaders of Baltic states, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland, as well as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
"Russia must feel what its losses mean. That is what will push it toward diplomacy," Zelensky continued - again strongly suggesting that Kiev is taking huge escalatory risks in seeking to establish an edge with Russia. "And when Russia takes losses in this war, it’s obvious to everyone that Ukraine is the one holding the line – not just for itself, but for all of Europe."
