Ukraine War - the Rhetoric of Frustration
In the eyes of the local public, the war in Ukraine has now primarily developed into a drone and missile war. Of course, this has more to do with media coverage than with the reality “on the ground.” Nevertheless—or perhaps precisely because of this—the rhetoric of Western European leaders is becoming increasingly bellicose. Recently, former British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace set a new high in this regard. But Western Europe's support stops short of providing real help.
