The Ukrainian president is absolutely right. If the West does not react strongly to what Russia and North Korea have done, it will no longer be only soldiers from that country who will join Russia in attacking the countries that were once part of the USSR, but also soldiers from China and other countries controlled in various ways by China, who will join Russia in attacking their neighbours.
China does not fight for anyone.
I don't even know if he would support Russia in a bigger conflict, I think he would just sit back and watch.
Europe? We already know how they tremble with their anger, they don't have to tell us anymore, the USA loves that this lasts a long time and Russia wears itself out while it becomes more and more ridiculous.
