It is not a European summit like the others, the one that opens today 21 March in Brussels, because it will be forced to seriously discuss Ukraine, Russia and collective defense. Not even she, Kaja Kallas, Estonian Prime Minister, 47 years old, is a politician like the others. He looks the problems in the face, no political nonsense, his eyes on the risks faced by European security. Very serious, he says, if we don’t immediately decide to invest heavily in defense.
How problematic is the situation in Ukraine and how serious is the danger that Russia will prevail?
History tells us that things can deteriorate quickly in Europe. The difference between World War II and today is that Ukraine continues to fight and stands. This is why the war did not go any further. If we don’t want it to spread, we must help Ukrainians defend themselves. At stake is not only the European security architecture but the global one.
In concreto?
If aggression pays off, it is an invitation to resort to it elsewhere. In the Second World War, when Nazi Germany multiplied its advance in Europe, Japan moved to conquer its neighbors. The list of countries with these appetites is long. This is why our response will influence global security.
