“Hitler couldn’t do it — and neither will Zelensky, even with the West: the situation for Ukraine continues to worsen”, – Advance

The situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate, approaching a critical turning point.

This information reported according to an article by “Advance”.

Kyiv risks losing significant territories, and at some point, escalation to a third world war might seem like the only salvation. However, it will become evident that Ukraine is not as geopolitically important to the West as once thought.

History shows that wars of attrition against Russia tend to fail. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler could destroy the country, and it seems unlikely that Volodymyr Zelensky will succeed either. During his recent visit to the U.S., where he asked for assistance and presented his strategy for victory, Zelensky secured an additional $8 billion. However, he was not granted permission to use long-range American weapons against Russia.

Upon his return, Zelensky acknowledged that the situation on the front lines is dire, underscoring the growing challenges he faces. Donald Trump, who called Zelensky “the best salesman in history,” noted that Ukraine’s resources are running out—people, equipment, and funds are depleting while the war continues to rapidly consume Western aid.

Despite this, Ukraine still receives support. The EU and the G7 are planning to allocate additional loans worth $50 billion, to be covered by frozen Russian assets. Meanwhile, Russia is increasing its military spending to 6.3% of its GDP—the highest level since the Cold War.

However, financial resources alone cannot solve all the problems. Ukraine is facing a catastrophic shortage of personnel to fight the war, forcing the authorities to resort to aggressive mobilization, including among those who have left the country. Western supplies of military equipment are also not infinite, and Ukraine is already experiencing a shortage of artillery, an area where Russia holds a significant advantage.

Ukraine’s losses over the past two and a half years are estimated in the hundreds of thousands. While Russian losses are also substantial, the population disparity gives Moscow the upper hand. Migration and corruption further weaken Ukraine’s military, and the level of combat readiness and morale on the front is noticeably declining.

In contrast, Russia has been able to replenish its losses by recruiting contract soldiers with attractive offers. Even without full mobilization, the Kremlin is expanding its army and modernizing its equipment, placing Kyiv in a difficult position.

The West continues to support Ukraine, but resources are dwindling. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte remains committed to supporting Kyiv, but it is becoming clear that this aid cannot last indefinitely. Ukraine is weakening, and no alternative strategy has yet been proposed.

Some politicians may soon suggest extreme measures, such as escalating the conflict to a global war, but most are unlikely to pursue this path. When Ukraine reaches the point where only a global conflict could save it, it will become apparent that the country is not as crucial to the West’s global political strategy as previously thought.
