Recently, Ukraine's large-scale initiatives to ** the Ukrainian region have suffered a huge setback, and the West is facing major decisions about the situation in Ukraine. Ukraine's ** did not live up to expectations, on the contrary, Russia won successive victories in the confrontation, taking control of the situation on the battlefield. Ukraine's military defeat has exacerbated the crisis in Ukraine, which could be divided into three separate regions: Eastern, Central and Western. Against this backdrop, Western countries such as the United States and Europe are facing a difficult choice, and they have to reconsider whether to continue to support Ukraine and take huge risks.
At the recent meeting in Ukraine, the West admitted that the large-scale ** implemented by Ukraine did not meet expectations and did not make any progress at all, on the contrary, Russia continued to implement ** while patiently defending, winning victory after victory. Ukraine's plan is to regain Mutter and gain control of it. However, due to Ukraine's strategic and tactical mistakes, the Ukrainian army did not regain its strongholds, but instead led to the capture of the village of Hromok, a supply node of the Ukrainian army, by Russian troops, which made Ukraine face an even more difficult situation.
In the context of Ukraine, Russia has adopted the strategy of fighting a dumb war, taking advantage of its short supply lines to constantly fight with the West. Despite the support provided by Western countries to Ukraine, Ukraine still did not take the initiative. Russia has used this opportunity to constantly consolidate its position and accumulate strength for a larger offensive in the future. Putin signed an order to increase Russia's military spending by 70% in 2024, indicating that Russia will increase its military investment in order to continue to strengthen its position in Ukraine.
Ukrainian historian and professor of the Catholic University of Ukraine Khrytsak believes that, according to the current developments, Ukraine will suffer a crushing defeat on the battlefield and will not be able to take charge of its own destiny. Hrytsak pointed out that Western countries such as the United States and Europe will not admit defeat, and Ukraine cannot win and can only become the only loser. Therefore, it is possible that Ukraine will be divided into three regions: Eastern Ukraine, Central Ukraine and Western Ukraine. This ** will lead to the disappearance of Ukraine in the traditional sense, and the ** crisis in the history of Ukraine will reappear.
This ** situation will be the most tragic end for Ukraine. The eastern region may be under direct Russian jurisdiction and autonomous, the central region may form a pro-Russian puppet**, and the western region may be effectively controlled by countries such as Poland. Ukraine will lose control over itself and be subdivided into different territories. Such a situation is gradually becoming a reality.
Western countries such as the United States and Europe face a difficult choice. A direct recognition of Ukraine's defeat will damage the credibility of Western countries and lead to strategic passivity. And continuing to support Ukraine will face enormous attrition, which could lead to a recession for the entire West.
In addition, the instability in the Middle East has put enormous pressure on the West, preventing them from devoting all their energies to supporting Ukraine. Now, Western countries such as the United States and Europe are facing the moment to make a final choice, and they are likely to abandon their support for Ukraine in order to reduce their own risks.
The large-scale ** implemented by Ukraine suffered a defeat, and Russia won a sustained victory in the confrontation. Ukraine may be ** into a different region, with historic consequences. In such a situation, Western countries are faced with a difficult choice, and they may abandon their support for Ukraine to reduce their own risks. Whatever you choose, it will have a profound impact on the stability and future development of the entire region.
