Barry Gander, the longer the war continues, the more damage will be to Ukraine and Russia. America and the West have been incremental in their response from before the beginning. They must dramatically step up their help to quickly oust Putin from all of Ukraine.

Dangers exist for what happens to post-war Russia and increase with a drawn-out war. It, too, will need attention and resources from the West. We can't afford a failed Russia or one behind a wall.

Many thanks.
