Introduction:
After the Russian-Ukrainian war, the West has been shouting "defeat Russia", but then the situation has changed, and they have realized that their goal is no longer just to achieve victory in a war, but more to prevent the collapse of Ukrainian forces. This article will examine the causes of this change, as well as the challenges and dilemmas it faces.
The western relief program was reformulated.
As soon as Ukraine won, it received a lot of support from Europe and the United States, but after the failure of the counterattack, the rescue plan was readjusted. The European Union will disburse $50 billion in bailout funds over four years, 75 per cent of which will be disbursed through loans. Britain, France and Germany have also signed a "security agreement", while the United States has not yet received new funding to aid Ukraine. At the security summit in Munich, Western countries issued warnings to prevent the collapse of Ukrainian forces, indicating that they are replanning their bailout options for Western countries.

This change reflects both the seriousness of the situation in Ukraine and the re-awareness of the current situation in Western countries. The West may have realized that material support alone can no longer solve Ukraine's problems, but is more about long-term strategic support and scientific and technological support to maintain its position and pressure in the protracted war.
Westward Movement. With the failure of the Ukrainian army's counterattack, European and American countries have gradually changed their strategic direction, from simply "defeating Russia" to the "stability" and "non-disintegration" of the Ukrainian army. From preventing the collapse of Ukraine's military power, to forcing Ukraine to win, this change shows that the West has a new understanding of the situation. Even if the Ukrainian military forces did not achieve significant results, they still wanted to end the battle by manipulating the mood of the masses and creating the illusion that Ukraine had won the victory.

The West, on the other hand, hopes to maintain Ukraine's position in its geographical position and not to further aggravate the situation because of the defeat of the Russian army. The motivation for this may be followed by more complex considerations, and it also shows that the way and the way the West has dealt with Ukraine has changed dramatically.
Mistakes and challenges in Western countries.
In the battle for Ukraine, the West has been trying to challenge Russia, expecting to defeat Russia with an absolute victory, however, now the facts put Western countries in a dilemma. Russia remains strong in various regions, and it is invincible, both in war, economically, financially and diplomatically. Having realized their mistake, the West has come to its senses from a mere victory and has instead focused its attention on preventing the collapse of Ukraine before events continue to develop.
Read more: The West is like this because it underestimates Russia's power and purpose, and overestimates the likelihood of a war in Ukraine. Russia's toughness and strength have forced Western countries to rethink their positioning and strategy, and gradually reposition their strategic priorities and target positioning. This mistake was not limited to the military, but involved political, economic, diplomatic and other aspects, and had an impact on the geography and power structure that originally existed in the world. In the face of such predicaments and challenges, we must carry out deeper reflection and re-examine our overall strategy in order to better cope with today's international situation.
The conclusion is that the war in Ukraine has brought serious challenges and difficulties to the Western world, making it realize that a simple "quick fix" strategy is no longer sustainable. The mistakes and adaptations of Western countries are not only reflected in the changes in their rescue plans and strategic objectives, but also reflect their reflection and adjustment on the geographical environment and the balance of power. In the face of the increasingly grim international situation in the world today, the West must carry out more profound reflection and adopt comprehensive measures in order to ensure its competitiveness and influence on the international stage.
