To quote my friend Nato secretary general Mark Rutte: if we don’t help Ukraine further, we should all start learning Russian.

Russia is already a direct threat to the European Union.
Europe’s collective economic might is unmatched. I don’t believe that there is any threat that we can’t overcome if we act together and with our Nato allies.
