In Delphi, Greece, General Ben Hodges, former NATO forces commander in Europe, expressed concerns about the handling of the Ukraine situation by Western powers.
During the Delphi Economic Conference in Greece, Hodges criticized the paralyzed US Congress, cautious White House administration, and hesitant European allies, stating that this plays into Russia’s hands.
He highlighted Germany’s reluctance to provide Ukraine with Taurus missiles, attributing it to fears of US President Trump withdrawing the nuclear shield from Europe.
Hodges also criticized the Biden administration for being overly cautious, particularly in their concerns about potential Russian nuclear threats.

He dismissed the idea that Ukraine liberating Crimea would lead to a collapse of Putin’s regime, urging for strategic planning instead of fear.
Hodges warned that believing Russia’s nuclear threats could divide the Western alliance, potentially leading to more assertive support for Ukraine from certain European countries like Poland and France.
French President Macron’s recent comments have reignited Russia’s nuclear threats, adding to the complexity of the situation.
