When the Kremlin launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, it did so in the belief that the West lacked the strategic purpose, fortitude, and moral strength that would allow Ukraine to see this war through to its end. conclusion. A few weeks after the outbreak of war, many were congratulating the unity of the West. There is no doubt that in 2022, Western unity has exceeded expectations. But unity is often temporary, while cohesion occurs over a longer period of time and under pressure.
Short-term cohesion is as meaningless as short-term resistance.

Recent events demonstrate that these assumptions are correct.
