Western Resolve Hardens to Defeat Russia

David Ignatius: “Russian President Vladimir Putin protested to Kremlin visitors Monday that his adversaries were trying to ‘win on the battlefield’ and ‘destroy Russia from within.’ For once, he wasn’t just being paranoid.”

“Western resolve is hardening in the Ukraine war. For months, the Biden administration beseeched Putin to find an ‘exit ramp’ from the confrontation. Now, the United States’ openly stated goal is to help Ukraine beat Russia and to disable Putin’s war machine so that it won’t threaten neighbors in the future.”
