"Offering Ukraine something other than NATO membership would send a message to Moscow that the US is committed to Ukraine’s security—but only up to a point," Paul Poast argues.

The G7’s support sent a message to Ukraine, but more importantly to Putin, Ivo Daalder says with Anne Marie Green and Ramy Inocencio.

"President Biden simply cannot provide new aid for Ukraine and Israel unless Congress provides that money through appropriations legislations," Jordan Tama explains.

“There is a degree of barbarity that is really unconscionable,” says Ivo Daalder. “We do need to make sure at some point that people responsible will be held to account.”

"Rather than ending the fighting quickly, cutting off US aid would simply set Russia up to launch a major new offensive," Paul Poast writes.

Macron’s statements show Europe’s concern that US attention will waver too much from Ukraine to Taiwan, argues Sibel Oktay.

"Pyongyang has a propensity to take actions ... aimed at reminding the West—and specifically the US—that it should not be be ignored," Paul Poast writes.

"Though the Kremlin has long portrayed Ukraine's membership in NATO as a red line, there is no need to fear Russia's response to Kyiv's accession to the alliance," Paul Poast writes.

"If Russia uses chemical or biological agents, let alone a nuclear weapon, NATO should come to the direct defense of Ukraine," writes Ivo Daalder in the Guardian.
