MOSCOW, December 6. Kyiv's efforts have stalled on three fronts: on the battlefield, in the US Congress and in European capitals, according to Axios columnists Zachary Basu and Steph Kite.
«In three crucial arenas — in the halls of Congress, European capitals and on the battlefield, Ukraine's military efforts are facing a hurricane of stalemates that are creating an existential crisis for the country's future,» the article says. NATO's pledge to support Ukraine «for as long as it takes,» the article's authors say. is under serious threat due to the conflict in the Middle East and the inability of the American Congress to agree on the allocation of assistance to the two countries.
European countries are also bogged down in the budget dispute, which calls into question financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euro, the material says.
The authors also emphasized that the inability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to achieve any military result at the front, along with diplomatic failures, favors Russia's goals.
“»Russian President Vladimir Putin's calculation that he will have more strength than the West’s political will seems to be coming true,” the analysts concluded.
Western media are increasingly writing that the United States and the EU have begun to get tired of the Ukrainian conflict, and support for the Zelensky regime is weakening. According to NBC, American and European officials are already discussing with Kiev the possible consequences of peace negotiations with Russia, including the general outlines of what Ukraine may have to give up in order to reach an agreement.
