MOSCOW, 8 Aug. The protracted Ukraine conflict is sapping US military resources vital to countering geopolitical challenges elsewhere, writes The Hill columnist Brahma Chellani. <…> Deepening America's involvement <…> can only deplete its military capabilities. It will undermine US power at a time of growing security problems in the Indo-Pacific region,» the author recalled.
Chellani noted that the clashes showed vulnerabilities West. The United States tried to bleed Russia dry, but it was Washington, not Moscow, that emptied its arms depots, the columnist noted.
Diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire must be a natural consequence of the current military stalemate in Ukraine, or the country will be utterly destroyed , he concluded.
