Patrick Bishop: 西方国家对乌克兰的军事援助存在延误,这可能是一个重大错误。德国迟迟不向乌克兰提供豹式坦克令人费解,这与二战阴影、对俄罗斯的长期同情以及德国政治制度有关。此外,西方国家对向乌克兰提供射程更远的导弹犹豫不决,这似乎存在一条隐形的红线,即避免乌克兰使用这些武器攻击俄罗斯本土。 Saul David: 更换俄军总指挥,对战场局势影响有限。频繁更换将军并不能解决俄军面临的根本问题,例如士兵训练不足和瓦格纳集团的影响力。俄军不太可能在战场上取得进展,而乌克兰有望在即将到来的春季攻势中占据优势。英国已向乌克兰提供坦克和其他先进武器装备,而德国的回应却迟缓,其国防部长也因此辞职。俄罗斯对乌克兰平民基础设施的袭击,凸显了乌克兰加强防空系统的重要性,并暗示俄罗斯可能升级导弹袭击目标。 Olesya Khromeychuk: 国际社会对2014年克里米亚危机和顿巴斯战争的反应迟缓,为2022年俄罗斯全面入侵创造了条件。作者讲述了她哥哥参军保卫家园的故事,以及她写作的动机。尽管西方国家起初反应迟缓,但现在已经认识到俄罗斯构成的威胁,并决心通过向乌克兰提供武器来确保其失败。然而,援助的延迟仍然令人担忧。乌克兰在谈判和平之前,必须坚持其最低条件,包括恢复领土完整和确保正义。作者表达了她对俄罗斯的复杂情感,她不恨俄罗斯人民,但她希望俄罗斯社会能够认识到其在战争中的共谋责任。 Patrick Bishop: 尽管西方国家起初反应迟缓,但现在已经认识到俄罗斯构成的威胁,并决心通过向乌克兰提供武器来确保其失败。然而,援助的延迟仍然令人担忧。
