Die Gefahren des „Chicken Kyiv“-Denkens

Submission Statement: “The West is vacillating in its support for Ukraine and has failed to learn the lessons of its past appeasement of Russia.” Ostap Kryvdyk discusses the dangers of the “Chicken Kyiv” mentality, which reflects the West’s reluctance to fully support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, echoing past errors of appeasement. Kryvdyk critiques the view that prioritizes stability over democratic values and human rights, arguing that this mindset undermines Ukraine’s sovereignty and risks further conflict. Failing to address the core issues of the war could lead to dire consequences for global stability.
