As inflation rises, could European support for Ukraine wobble?

Al Jazeera  

Europe’s solidarity and commitment towards Kyiv will be tested this winter, and the US midterms might also have an effect, according to analysts. “If Russia succeeds in fomenting social unrest through the energy war, a migration crisis and its disinformation campaign … these could translate in the European support diminishing, which is Russia’s goal,” Loss said, adding though that so far, backing Ukraine remains a priority across the bloc. “The increasing cost of energy threatens the economic recovery, limits families purchasing power, damages our industries’ production capacities and can wear down our countries’ commitment towards Ukraine,” he said at the UN General Assembly. “They wouldn’t take so much issue with Ukraine, but rather make everything impossible for the Biden administration, including delaying aid for Ukraine,” Tocci said, noting that Republicans projected to win the House include supporters of former President Donald Trump, whose aim is to undermine the Biden agenda as ahead of the 2024 presidential election. If US support for Kyiv diminishes, Tocci said, Ukraine’s fight against Russia could stall within a few months.
