Ukraine’s victory is vital for the security of the whole world - Richard Kemp (nafo.uk)

A retired colonel of the British army, Richard Kemp, had the opportunity to see the Ukrainian counteroffensive with his own eyes.

He has served in many hot zones around the world: Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He warns that a ceasefire, as some are proposing, will not bring about the end of the war — because Ukraine is not russia’s only, or even main target. Ukraine’s victory is vital for the security of the whole world.

Both the thesis of the piece and your comment can be true.
