“Ukraine has been fighting for all of Europe for four years — and we’re still debating whether to admit it into NATO?” A powerful speech from world chess champion and Russian opposition figure Garry Kasparov, who sharply criticized NATO’s hesitation during the International Security Forum in Halifax. Kasparov reminded the audience that NATO was founded for one purpose: to defend Europe from Russian aggression. Today, Ukraine is doing that job largely alone. He questioned the Alliance’s readiness to act if the Kremlin escalates: “This is not about how many weapons or how much ammunition you have. It’s about whether you are ready to fight and die. You have a Canadian brigade in Latvia — what are its orders? Will they open fire if Russians cross the border? We know the answer. You’ll confer, and it will take forever.” Kasparov’s speech deserves to be broadcast across every major outlet. Ukraine is holding the line — and Europe’s security still rests on Kyiv’s resilience. | Ukraine:News
