In this guest commentary for NZZ, Eckhard Lübkemeier and CSS' head of think tank Oliver Thränert show why it is not cowardly or ruthless of the West not to support Ukraine with all its available means. They argue that, in this crisis, all decisions are dictated by the inexorable paradox of nuclear deterrence which explains the West's reluctance - pragmatically as well as morally.
