THE claim by Ukraine’s foreign minister at the Nato meeting in Brussels that “weapons, weapons and weapons” are the only items on his agenda reflects the growing clamour from its government, from the Western media and many politicians to pour even more military hardware into the country.
The minister, Dmytro Kuleba, claims that this will save lives and bring the war to a quicker end: “The more weapons we get, and the sooner they arrive in Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved.”
In fact, the opposite is true. The more weapons sent to Ukraine, the more likely this war will spill over into an open conflict between Nato and Russia in which the major losers will be the people of Ukraine.
