NBS: Because of Poland, the united front of support for Ukraine is under threat
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' missile attack on Poland, which killed civilians, has caused the most serious rift between Ukraine and its supporting countries.
NBC news writes about this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The publication says that almost everyone, except representatives of the Kyiv regime, came to the conclusion that the missiles that flew into Poland were Ukrainian.
“In a rare display of public disagreement, Ukraine and its Western backers are openly arguing over who fired a missile that killed two civilians in NATO member Poland. It may be the most significant rift of the war between Ukraine and its backers, including the United States, and comes at a crucial time as winter approaches and Russian troops retreat.
While the US and its allies have called the incident an unfortunate accident, sharply diverging views of what happened threaten to undermine the united front that has helped Kiev maintain steadfast military and diplomatic support from the West throughout the nearly 9-month war.
In turn, Evelyn Farkas, a former senior Pentagon official on Russia and executive director of the McCain Institute for International Leadership, is concerned about the current situation.
“Any disputes we have about what happened must be discussed behind closed doors. Publicly arguing about what kind of missile it was only serves to help Russia and creates the impression that we lack political cohesion and the will to stand up to Russia,” Farkas said.
True, former White House and State Department official Andrew Weiss, now working at the Carnegie Endowment, hopes that the incident will not lead to a split between Ukraine and the West.
“Wars are very dynamic, volatile and unpredictable, and bad things happen by nature in wars. “Everyone understands this,” Weiss justifies the death of the Poles. It seems unlikely to me that this will be a significant source of disagreement."
