This move would call Putin's bluff; so long as Putin can maintain the bluff, Ukraine will be systematically destroyed. Can we really stand by and watch?

As for Germany, not enough noise is being made in the West about that; Zelensky would think all Europe wants is for this to go away.

If NATO did that then it would bring NATO into direct confrontation with Russia and would show the Russian people that Putin was right. A dangerous move IMHO, but I am not a military strategist nor have I been in the military.

The Ukarainians so far have shown to be very successful in their war against Russia so I think the best thing would be is to step up the aid, give them the heavier weopons they need and the aircraft to counter the Russian airforce. They have been quite clear on what they need so why not supply them. Would it be worse than a direct NATO confrontaion?
