Leaving Brexit aside, I trust everyone is not just counting the cost of the war now, but weighing up the harm that Russia can & will keep doing to the EU & democracy in general if it succeeds in Ukraine. I will continue to strongly argue that Europe can't afford Ukraine to lose against Russia.

It costs billions to support Ukraine, the cost will be trillions & many more lives if invading your neighbours to loot them, becomes the norm globally. Quite aside from Russia's active hybrid war with the west for decades needs to be recognised for what it is and firmly addressed.
