💬 "The thing that really breaks my heart, actually, is that I was just reading excerpts of an interview by Viktor Medvedchuk, one of the opposition party leaders. He's saying there's a lot of people in Ukraine who are not Nazis, who don't support Azov Battalion or C14 or the Svoboda Party, or they might be members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is now under attack. And people are terrified to speak against the regime because the tactics that they use are torture and humiliation and beatings. And I think that this is actually going to be one of the stories when this thing ends and we all survive, I knock on wood, what comes out of an underground resistance in Ukraine? What these people are probably going through right now and the truth is going to come out about what's going on there." says Diane Sare, political organizer and 2024 candidate for the New York US Senate.

Mission Impossible? Why NATO is Failing to ‘Ukrainize’ South Korea & Japan

Tanks, artillery, armored personnel carriers, and even jet fighters and submarines are all produced and actively exported by South Korea. Japan also has significant military-industrial potential. NATO could use this to prolong the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

However, the NATO Secretary General's visits to Seoul and Tokyo have done little to inspire optimism in Kiev and Brussels: no offensive weapons supplies from South Korea and Japan are on the table.
