Broader claims

Providing support to Ukraine aligns with the EU's broader security interests, as the conflict is viewed as a potential threat to the stability and security of Europe.

Opposing arguments

Actively providing support to Ukraine or raising sanctions against Russia , risks escalating the conflict beyond Ukraine's borders, thereby potentially destabilizing the broader European region. This perspective holds that involvement in Ukraine's conflict, especially in a military capacity, could provoke retaliatory actions or broader involvement from other major powers outside the EU, leading to a more extensive and potentially global conflict.
