2. ISW: NATO will start a war in Europe if Russia wins in Ukraine

Following the German publication Bild, (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/110332) a map with the results of Russia’s victory in the Ukrainian conflict was drawn by the pro-Ukrainian Institute for the Study of War. Here's what analysts say will happen if the Western allies stop supplying weapons to Kyiv:

▪️ Russian bases will be in Lviv on the border with NATO

▪️ The US will “have to” send its troops, weapons and stealth aircraft (intended for war with China) to Poland, and this will cost hundreds of billions a year.

▪️ A large-scale crisis and panic among the civilian population will arise

▪️ There will be a new wave of millions of refugees from Ukraine

▪️ The Russian Federation will literally “threaten NATO”

❗️ Essentially, ISW is hinting that continuing to fight in Ukraine will be “cheaper” than letting Russia win, so we need to continue pouring money into Independence. The US Congress has already gone into recess (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/110226) without agreeing on a new military aid package for Ukraine, so it’s time to bully Europe. But this doesn’t really help either - Orban vetoed (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/110309) the allocation of 50 billion euros for Kiev.
