• Ukraine is in its most critical situation following two years of war and the Russian invasion in 2022. It requires more soldiers, weapons, and Western support to withstand the Russian military.
• Russia has been bombing Ukrainian energy infrastructures throughout the winter.
• Ukrainian forces are limited in attacking valuable targets due to a decrease in long-range artillery supplies from the West.
• Ukraine continues to require Western help, especially from the United States, to maintain itself militarily.
• European chancelleries are prioritizing defense spending in anticipation of possible future conflicts with Russia.
• Foreign suppliers such as Iran and North Korea support Russia's war economy.
• The Ukrainian Parliament is passing laws to toughen military mobilization.

Conclusion: Western commitment to Ukraine is more necessary than ever. Europe must demonstrate its awareness of the critical situation by providing the crucial aid Ukraine needs.
