"The leading financial analyst Tim Ash sparked a major debate in 2022 with a cost-benefit analysis showing US aid to Ukraine is cheap at the price. Has anything changed?" Timothy Ash argues that the financial support provided by the US and its allies to Ukraine remains minimal compared to their overall defense budgets and economic capacities. Despite significant sacrifices from Ukrainians, the costs of supporting Ukraine are a small fraction of Western GDP and defense spending, making the case for continued assistance compelling. Ash emphasizes that this investment not only aids Ukraine in its fight against Russia but also serves as a crucial defense for Western security.

"There is a lot of noise about Ukraine and weapons and financing. But words alone do not indicate progress, and key elements of what’s needed are being forgotten." Volodymyr Dubovyk highlights the urgent need for increased military assistance to Ukraine, emphasizing that despite promises from Western leaders, critical shortages in ammunition and air defense systems persist. With Russian advances in Eastern Ukraine and the slow delivery of pledged support, Dubovyk calls for a renewed sense of urgency and responsibility among Western allies to prevent further loss of life and to bolster Ukraine's defense against aggression.

"The military is bracing for new strikes that it says can’t be stopped." Kseniya "Kassie" Kirillova explains that Russian military analysts are increasingly concerned about the potential approval for Ukraine to use Western cruise and ballistic missiles, particularly in light of escalating drone strikes on Russian territory. The Kremlin has threatened reprisals, but analysts predict that Ukrainian strikes will intensify. There are also signs of growing domestic unrest among Russian citizens regarding the war, as evidenced by poor electoral performance of veteran candidates in recent regional elections.

"Georgia’s divided opposition could hand Vladimir Putin a victory in October if their disunity enables the Kremlin-favored Georgian Dream to retain power." Beka Chedia examines the fragmented state of Georgia's opposition parties ahead of the October 26 parliamentary elections, which could enable the ruling Georgian Dream party to consolidate power and potentially establish a one-party system. Despite some efforts to unite, key opposition groups remain divided, complicating their ability to challenge the ruling party effectively.

"The continent needs to accept that it cannot do everything alone and should instead seek to work with much bigger US defense companies." Colby Badhwar discusses how Europe's defense procurement policies are failing, as highlighted by former Italian premier Mario Draghi. He notes that European countries rely heavily on US military equipment, and emphasizes the need for Europe to collaborate with larger US defense firms and develop key capabilities, such as long-range strike missiles. This will help enhance its defense industrial base and ensure interoperability within NATO.

"Italy’s nominee for the European Commission is an established expert who could heal the rifts between Rome and Brussels." Paolo Messa explains that Italy has nominated Raffaele Fitto, the Minister for European Affairs, as its representative to the European Commission, aiming to mend relations between Rome and Brussels amid critical geopolitical challenges. Fitto, who has a background in the European Parliament and is viewed positively within Italy, is expected to bring a balanced approach to the EU. His appointment could enhance Italy's influence, particularly in promoting economic competitiveness aligned with former Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s vision.
