🚨 Europe Rejected Peace With Putin. Now It’s Risking Its Economy to Keep Ukraine’s War Going Retired UK Commodore Steve Jermy argues Europe made a costly strategic mistake by rejecting earlier peace opportunities with Russia, including the Istanbul terms. He says many European leaders can only fantasize about getting such good terms now. When facing Russia’s stronger negotiating position, he contends, Europe delaying accepting a realistic settlement only produces worse terms later — a reality Europe and Ukraine are now confronting as the war continues. Beyond the battlefield, Jermy warns Europe’s economic position is deteriorating. With France struggling, Germany flirting with recession, and energy pressures mounting, the central question is no longer purely military. “Where is the money going to come from” just to conduct affairs of state, much less for weapons and ammunition that don’t even exist in sufficient quantities for Ukraine, he asks, noting that the liquidity needed to sustain support for Ukraine is looking increasingly scarce. Jermy also raises concerns about the long-term burden on European taxpayers. Given Ukraine’s economic decline and growing debt, he believes much of the money sent to Kyiv is unlikely ever to be repaid — meaning future generations across Europe may ultimately pay the cost while leaders face hard questions about prioritizing the war over domestic needs.
