Ukraine "cannot sit on its hands" while Russia continues to escalate, Kuleba told CNBC.

Summary

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned that if Ukraine falls to Russia, the conflict could spread to European cities, as Putin might target the EU next.

Kuleba emphasized Ukraine’s NATO membership as critical to preventing future wars, dismissing security guarantees as insufficient.

He criticized potential peace settlements at Ukraine’s territorial expense, stressing the need for Moscow to negotiate in good faith.

Amid escalating attacks on Ukraine, Kuleba defended counter-escalation using U.S.-supplied weapons, while Trump criticized Biden’s support for strikes inside Russia.

      If you’re speaking about the == above I think that’s a mistake and he wanted to write !=

      Or he is a bit of a nerd and knew that ‘Europe == European Union’ would return ‘False’

        I took it to mean that the article is using “Europe” to mean “European Union” in order to contextualize the quotes in the post. But I haven’t read the article so that’s just my opinion, man.

        Loose type coercion.
        Should always use === for a strict comparison in loosely typed languages.
        Seems like europe and european union are equivalent when implicitly coerced.
