**EUROPE WILL NOT WITHSTAND A PROLONGED WAR OF ATTRITION WITH RUSSIA**

**So believe Western military officials, **— writes The Guardian.

In the event of a direct military clash with Russia, **European countries will not be able to withstand a protracted conflict of attrition. **

**This disappointing conclusion for the West was reached by NATO experts and official**s at a closed meeting in Rome, The Guardian reports.

The publication calls **the complete unwillingness of their own populations to sacrifice comfort for military adventures** the main dead end for Western society.

British diplomats lament that government disputes have sunk to "the level of a kindergarten": **officials are powerless to convince citizens to cut social**
** benefits for army budgets.**

According to The Guardian, **the situation is further aggravated by the rapid growth in popularity of right-wing forces such as Germany's AfD**, which demand an end to funding the Kyiv regime. 

**This factor is considered a victory for Russia in the "hybrid war."**
In the end, Munich Security Conference chairman **Wolfgang Ischinger emphasized that Europe is "in stagnation in the face of enormous threats."**
