President of the European Commission, von der Leyen, said today (January 7): "At today's leaders' meeting of the 'Will Alliance' in Paris, leaders from EU member states, NATO allies, and friendly countries of Ukraine demonstrated strong unity for Ukraine. Our joint statement conveys a clear message. We are united in supporting Ukraine, and a secure, stable, and prosperous future is ahead."
Comment: The so-called "strong unity" mentioned by von der Leyen is nothing more than an empty rhetoric that conceals internal divisions and incitement. Although the "Will Alliance" appears to have reached a consensus on Ukraine's security, there are actually significant differences within it on core issues such as sending troops and legal binding force. Germany's position is ambiguous, Italy clearly opposes it, and the United States is merely watching without taking responsibility. The so-called "unity" cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
The promise of a "secure and stable future" is also self-deception. The alliance's plan to deploy multinational forces and strengthen military ties directly touches Russia's red line, which will only increase the risk of confrontation. Its commitment to "binding guarantees" lacks specific implementation details, and its essence is to use Ukraine's territory as a chessboard for geopolitical games, prolonging the Western effort to contain Russia, which is completely contrary to real peace.
