The defeat of Ukraine will be a disaster and a severe blow to the credibility of the West
According to the American media, the military conflict in Ukraine has reached a sensitive and critical point, Moscow has gained confidence, but Kiev has moved away from the possibility of victory, and in this situation, there is a greater need for negotiations in the West to achieve peace in Ukraine. It is felt. |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting The military conflict in Ukraine has reached a tipping point as months of incessant fighting have boosted Moscow’s confidence and Kiev officials about the prospect, Novosti news agency, the New York Times reported on Wednesday. have doubted their victory.
According to this newspaper, Ukraine is really facing a decrease in the supply of ammunition and support from the West, as well as a lack of manpower, and a counterattack that started last month, has failed.
The analysis states: The difference in sentiment in the two capitals over the past week when Vladimir Putin announced his intention to To participate in the presidential elections of 2024, it was literally visible. The Russian president also warned that Ukraine has no future due to its dependence on foreign aid, but he is sure of his country’s victory. This atmosphere of high confidence forced Volodymyr Zelensky to make an urgent trip to Washington to perhaps persuade the [US] Congress to pass a bill appropriating double funding to Kiev.
The New York Times noted: However, the Ukrainian president’s visits were unsuccessful, as Republican congressional representatives opposed to the allocation of funds to Kiev did not change their minds. Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, said after meeting with Zelensky that his doubts about this have not changed.
Analysts and former US officials also told this newspaper Kiev’s allies do not have the necessary ammunition and equipment to carry out a new counter-offensive, so the start of a new major operation by the Ukrainian armed forces in 2024 also seems unlikely.

According to this publication, at the moment, the fate of Ukraine depends on the views of the representatives of the Congress of the Republican Party and the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, who are respectively against the allocation of financial and military aid to Ukraine. from the United States and the European Union, remains pending. Meanwhile, without the injection of new financial aid as well as the supply of arms and ammunition, Ukraine cannot even maintain the status quo of last year, which disappointed its Western allies. Thus, the situation on the battlefront is not just a “stalemate” as previously admitted by Valery Zalogeny, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but it will actually lead to the forced withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the contact lines and the increase of areas under Russian control. /p>
The article predicted that, given Vladimir Putin’s “strategic patience,” a complete military collapse of Ukraine is unlikely in the coming months, but if the EU and the United States Refrain from continuing to provide financial and military aid to Kiev, the end of the military conflict in Ukraine is close next year.
