The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for more than 600 days, and as time goes on, the situation has become more and more clear. According to the American media "Washington Post", Ukraine's current situation is even worse than in November 2022. Ukraine is facing a Russian threat, and Ukraine's army has reached the brink of exhaustion. Previously, Ukraine was qualified to sit at the negotiating table with Russia, but now it is not even necessary for Russia to negotiate with Ukraine.
Expanding: More than 600 days of war have made Ukraine's situation increasingly difficult. At the same time, Russia's military power is gradually increasing, posing a great threat to Ukraine. Ukraine's army is facing unprecedented hardship, with a lack of supplies and low morale. Ukraine had hoped to resolve the dispute through negotiations with Russia, but now it has fallen into a desperate situation and cannot sit down with Russia to negotiate.
The large-scale campaigns launched by Ukraine in 2023 have invariably ended in failure, which has made the West reconsider the meaning of its assistance to Ukraine. The purpose of Western aid to Ukraine is to weaken Russia, but now Russia is showing no signs of inadequacy, on the contrary, Western aid is close to drying up. Ukraine has lost a large number of soldiers and equipment in a series of battles and is demoralized. As a result, the West's willingness to aid Ukraine has gradually decreased, and the aid funds of the European Union and the United States have also been sharply reduced, and the aid plan has been halted or cannot be passed.
Expansion: Ukraine launched a series of large-scale campaigns in 2023, but all of them ended in failure, bringing huge losses to Ukraine. The soldiers of the Ukrainian army are constantly dying in battle, and the equipment is also suffering heavy losses. These failures have made Western countries reconsider the meaning of aid to Ukraine. The original intention of aiding Ukraine was to weaken Russia, but now it seems that Russia is showing no signs of inadequacy, and Ukraine is suffering from repeated setbacks. Western countries have gradually reduced their aid to Ukraine, and aid funds have gradually decreased, and even plans have been suspended, which makes Ukraine face an even more difficult situation.
After Ukraine successfully launched the Kharkiv Congress in November 2022, if peace talks can be held in a timely manner, Ukraine's bargaining chips and interests will be greater in the negotiations. However, Ukraine misjudged Russia's strength, thinking that it only needed a hard kick to bring Russia down. Ukraine has rejected Russia's repeated signals for peace talks, insisting on defeating Russia on a frontal battlefield. However, Ukraine's strategic adventures led to successive losing campaigns and massive losses. Today, Ukraine is facing a difficult situation and has missed the best opportunity for peace talks.

According to the Washington Post, now it seems that Russia is getting closer to the goal of completing the "special military operation". Even in the current situation, the West and Ukraine have offered to compromise, and Russia will not necessarily agree. In his recent annual speech, Putin made it clear that Russia will not accept any compromise on its sovereignty and interests. Given Ukraine's plight, Western countries need to take more aggressive action to support Ukraine, including providing more humanitarian aid to help Ukraine tide over the crisis.
