The conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, with President Putin's strategy proving successful [1d2c98bc]. Western countries are growing weary of the ongoing war and are less inclined to provide substantial support to Ukraine. This weariness is evident in the decreased willingness of Western nations to offer significant military aid to Ukraine [1d2c98bc]. In a recent editorial by EIR, it is emphasized that the disruption of weapons flow to Ukraine from the United States due to political turmoil in the House of Representatives has caused concern among NATO warhawks [67263f5e]. Calls for the U.S. to resume arming Ukraine have been made, but it is imperative for nations and individuals to use this opportunity to shift towards peace-making and negotiations rather than escalating the conflict [67263f5e]. The editorial highlights the mobilization of the International Peace Coalition and citizens in the U.S. to stop the funding of warfare in Ukraine [67263f5e]. Negotiations were advocated at a NATO event in Copenhagen, and the Schiller Institute emphasized the need to understand the root cause of the war-making compulsion and called for collaboration with the Belt and Road Initiative to address the worsening social-economic situation in the Global North [1d2c98bc]. The 18th G20 summit in New Delhi was a big win for India’s diplomacy. The leaders of the 20 major economies couldn’t make any tangible progress on key goals of the bloc, but they did produce a formal communiqué that garnered unanimous support from all participants. A careful reading of the Delhi communiqué shows that the Western nations made a compromise to ensure India scores this “diplomatic victory”. They acquiesced to a diluted language in reference to the Ukraine war. The declaration neither names nor condemns Russia over the conflict in which they have pumped tens of billions of dollars. Instead, it only talks about “the human suffering and negative added impacts of the war in Ukraine with regard to global food and energy security”. It was a climbdown by the Western nations because the Bali summit failed due to their insistence that the participants unanimously “deplored in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and demanded its complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine” [8f8b074e].
