MOSCOW, September 9. After some optimism in recent months, the faith of the Ukrainian population in the victory of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has begun to melt, writes columnist for the German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost Jan Jesen.
“The optimism of the last few months has in many places given way to alarming realism. A great concern that has been repeatedly expressed in discussions, is that if there are no stable and clearly visible military successes, support from Western partners will weaken. Faith in a quick victory is melting away,» the article says.
The author of the publication noted that in addition to the lack The advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front affects the morale of Ukrainians as winter approaches. Ukrainians, according to Jessen, fear that because of Russian strikes they will again have to sit in the dark and cold.
As noted in the material, Ukrainian society also does not understand the “indecisiveness” of some Western countries in supplying weapons requested by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On June 4, Ukraine launched a counter-offensive in the South Donetsk, Artemovsk and Zaporozhye directions, throwing into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with foreign equipment. As Vladimir Putin noted, the enemy was unable to achieve any results, and Western curators are clearly disappointed with the progress of the “counter-offensive.”
