The Russia-Ukraine war has lasted for more than 600 days, and the situation is gradually becoming clearer. An article in the Washington Post notes that Ukraine is in an even worse position today than it was in November 2022. Ukraine has lost the right to negotiate with Russia in a confrontation with its armored army, which has shown great strength. Ukraine is in a difficult situation, Western aid to it is decreasing, and the situation of the war is becoming more and more unfavorable for Ukraine. All the large-scale battles launched by Ukraine in 2023 have ended in failure, and the meaning of Western aid to Ukraine has been rethought. The purpose of aiding Ukraine is to weaken Russia, but it now seems that Russia is not showing its inadequacy, but the West is depleting its own resources. In the midst of low morale in Ukraine, the Ukrainian army is inHeavy losses were suffered in the Battle of Mut and in the Zaporozhye Great. Western aid stocks are also running outEuropean Unionand the United States are also unlikely to provide new aid funds. Ukraine has missed the best opportunity for peace talks, and Ukraine may have more chips and interests to fight for in November 2022, but it is too late now. At the moment, Russia is close to completing the "special."Militaryaction", Ukraine could not resistRussian armyof the offense.
The repeated defeats of the Ukrainian army in the battles launched by Ukraine have made the West reconsider its assistance to Ukraine. Looking back at 2023, the large-scale battles launched by Ukraine have all ended in failure, and these failures have made the West begin to doubt the meaning of aiding Ukraine. From Ukraine's point of view, the purpose of the aid is to weaken Russia, but the defeat of the Ukrainian army has allowed Russia to show its strength. Ukraine in the springIn the Battle of Muth, the refusal of the Ukrainian army to withdraw led to the capture of dozens of main brigadesRussian armyCrippled, lost a large number of experienced veterans. In the summer of Zaporozhye, although the Ukrainian army received heavy equipment from NATO, it was still unable to break throughRussian armyThe minefields laid could not break through the Surovikin line in the end. The Ukrainian army in Ukraine suffered heavy losses and low morale in various battles. Due to the ongoing fighting, Ukraine has to rely on Western assistance. But for now,European UnionThe last 1.5 billion euros of aid has been sent to Ukraine, while the United States has only $1 billion left. European UnionAnd the United States seems unlikely to provide new aid funding in the short term. The reduction in Ukrainian aid has made the situation even more difficult for Ukraine, and Western aid stocks for Ukraine have been exhausted.
The Washington Post notes that Ukraine may have missed the best opportunity for peace talks. In November 2022, Ukraine launched the Kharkiv Grand ** and achieved a short-lived victory. If Ukraine had held peace talks at that time, Ukraine might have won more at the negotiating table. However, the reality is that there are not so many "ifs". Ukraine has produced a miscalculation in the victory of the Kharkiv Great **, believing that Russia is not as strong as it thinks. Ukraine has rejected Russia's repeated signals for peace talks, insisting on itFrontal battlefieldDefeat Russia. This strategically adventurous mentality has put Ukraine in an even more difficult situation. Now Ukraine has lost the qualification to negotiate with Russia, and even if the West and Ukraine take the initiative to propose peace talks, Russia may not agree. Now it seems that Russia is far from completing "special."Militaryaction" is getting closer. Russian armyTanks have entered the villages of Ukraine, victoriousBalancesMore and more inclined to Russia. Even if now the West and Ukraine take the initiative to offer a compromise to Russia, Russia may come up with very harsh conditions.
In the case of low morale in Ukraine, the Ukrainian army cannot effectively resistRussian armyof the offense. UkrainianArmored forcesInHeavy losses have been suffered in the Battle of Mut and in the Zaporozhye Massacre, and morale and combat effectiveness have dropped significantly. At the same time, Russia's army is experienced, well-equipped and morale-boosting on the battlefield in Ukraine. Russian armyof tanks and artillery have entered Ukrainian villages, and Ukrainian defenses are in jeopardy. FaceRussian armyUkraine's strength is no longer able to resist. Ukraine rightRussian armycan only be at the cost of greater losses, which makes the situation even worse for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian army has suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield in Ukraine, and Western aid to Ukraine is constantly decreasing. Ukraine has missed the best opportunity for peace talks, and now Ukraine is unable to negotiate with Russia. In the case of low morale in Ukraine, the Ukrainian army is powerless to resistRussian armyof the offense. Russia is already close to completing the "special."Militaryaction", Ukraine cannot change the tide of the war. Ukraine is getting into an increasingly difficult situation, and Western aid to Ukraine is running out. The future of Ukraine is worrying, and Ukraine** and the Ukrainian people need to find a new way out.
