The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought for nearly two years, and the situation on the frontal battlefield has become clear, and Ukraine's heart has suffered a major defeat.
What worries Kyiv even more is that due to the ** failure, the West is no longer actively providing assistance, and many of the ** ammunition provided is for defense, not for offense.
This shows that the West also hopes that Ukraine will switch from offensive to defensive.
This is a very bad sign for Ukraine, because it means that the West no longer supports Ukraine's plans to regain lost territory.
Russia-Ukraine conflict).The West hinted at the abandonment of territory by Ukraine
According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, the Spanish newspaper El País revealed that Washington and Europe are increasingly warning that the long-term security of Ukraine must be guaranteed, but in exchange it must accept the fact that part of the territory of Ukraine belongs to Russia.
This attitude of the West can be regarded as a multiple-choice question for Ukraine with only one option.
The two options given to Ukraine are long-term security and territorial reconquest.
Ukraine clearly wants to choose the latter, restoring the borders after the collapse of the USSR.
But this is not what the West wants to see, because this goal is unrealistic, and the last two years of war have shown that defeating Russia is an impossible task for Ukraine, and it is impossible to regain lost ground without victory on the battlefield.
So there is only one answer left to this question for Ukraine, and that is to give up part of the territory in exchange for long-term security.
If the territory is abandoned, it is equivalent to the absence of territorial disputes, the possibility of war is reduced, and long-term security can be achieved.
Russia-Ukraine conflict).The abandonment of territory is a bargaining chip
Now Ukraine is facing a very real problem, if it sits directly at the negotiating table, it will not be able to come up with any decent bargaining chips to negotiate with Russia.
What Russia needs, it is completely possible to get it directly from the battlefield.
In such a situation, giving up part of the territory can give Ukraine a bargaining chip out of nothing.
Ukraine can give up its territory in exchange for Russia, for example, in exchange for Ukraine's accession to NATO.
This is also a plan put forward by many voices from the West, believing that Ukraine should completely resolve the territorial dispute, without which it will be difficult for Russia and Ukraine to fight again, and it will also help Ukraine join NATO.
Russia and Ukraine have held peace talks).
Ukraine needs to stop losses in time
Judging from the current battlefield situation, Ukraine's situation is very unfavorable, and due to the United States, the time left for Ukraine is getting shorter and shorter, and on the American side, as long as Trump wins the election, it will be difficult for Ukraine to fight again.
Trump supports ending the conflict with Ukraine by abandoning Ukrainian territory, and Ukraine will have to cooperate once the United States begins to advance in this direction.
And before this happens, it is possible that Ukraine will suffer even greater losses, and greater losses will mean greater concessions in the negotiations.
Therefore, timely stop loss is the most cost-effective for Ukraine, Ukraine's dependence is on the United States, the United States has now taken care of itself, and after the ** is over, even if Biden is re-elected, support for Ukraine will be greatly reduced.
What the United States wants is for Ukraine to consume Russia, and if the United States itself is trapped in it and becomes a consumable for the consumption of Russia, it will be worth the loss.
Therefore, Ukraine needs to plan ahead, otherwise it is likely to be sold by the West in a daze.
