Editorial: Le Monde

• The situation in Ukraine is the worst since the outset of the Russian offensive.
• Fatigue and lack of supplies are taking a toll on Ukraine.
• The Russian aggression began after Ukraine expressed its desire to align with Europe and the West.
• The war in Russia exposes an imperialism that justifies all atrocities.
• A tragic temptation to abandon Ukraine is evident in the United States.
• Trump's influence has led the Republican Party into a state of isolationism.
• The American decline should serve as an alarm signal for Europe.
• The war in Ukraine, as per Putin, is an existential conflict against the European value model.
• Europe needs to prepare to guarantee its own security.
• European leaders must take on the task of convincing their people of the severity of the Russian threat.

Conclusion: Feigning ignorance of the Russian threat would be inexcusable.
