UNLIKE the rest of Asia, we have a grave concern over the war in Ukraine and its possible spread across Europe that is more than its global economic impact: the threat to the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos on the continent.
There are probably well over a million Filipinos in Europe, a projection from the end-2013 tally of 866,187. Filipinos in Italy would number about 300,000 today, and those in Britain, a quarter of a million. There may be about 50,000 each in France and Germany, 45,000 in Spain, and more than 20,000 each in the Netherlands, Switzerland and maybe Norway. The estimated 65,000 in Greece and more than 20,000 in Cyprus are mostly seafarers.
Those include overcoming scarcity of key inputs, including TNT, and maintaining expanded capacity amid fluctuating budgets and uncertainty about future military needs.'Even more telling than military constraints, political factors militate against NATO fighting Russia. A CNN-commissioned poll in July found that 55 percent of Americans oppose increasing aid to Ukraine, while a Newsweek-commissioned survey reported just last month said 34 percent were opposed to sending US troops to Ukraine.
