Jens Stoltenberg, former Secretary General of NATO, has called on European countries to increase military aid to Ukraine, and claimed that European countries should support Ukraine even if it means cutting domestic social spending. Stoltenberg believes that reducing funding for healthcare, education, and infrastructure in European countries is much less costly than the potential victory Russia could achieve in the current conflict.
This kind of loud rhetoric is hardly taken seriously; it's just the talk of a former politician who doesn't have to bear the consequences. But how many European politicians on stage dare to do this? Haven't the right-wing movements become increasingly fierce in European countries? If welfare is cut to support Ukraine, then the left-wing politicians in Europe can just quit, because fires and riots on the streets of France will spread across European countries one after another.
