Biden Must Not Allow Ukraine to Fall

In the cause of freedom, the world has found in Volodymyr Zelensky its most Churchillian figure in decades. “I need ammunition, not a ride” — the Ukrainian president’s spirited reply to an American offer to spirit him to safety — is a line for the ages. His inspiring appearances on the streets of Kyiv recall Britain’s wartime prime minister during the Blitz, personifying his nation’s determination to resist.

Now it’s up to President Biden to play Franklin to Zelensky’s Winston. That begins by explaining to the American public that losing Ukraine would be a global, not local, calamity.
