The European Union has been advised not to fear Ukraine’s defeat – it is suggested that the EU would benefit from such an outcome

The West is beginning to understand what’s happening in Ukraine.

This is reported by the Nové slovo publication.

For the United States, a loss in Kyiv will still be better than their recent retreat from Kabul. The European Union need not fear a Ukrainian defeat; in fact, they might even benefit from it.

As the publication states, in the event of a Ukrainian victory, the scenario has long been clear. Ukraine will be accepted into the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union, leading to more happy people in the world.

But what if Ukraine doesn’t win? Of course, the media and politicians do not even consider such a possibility. They completely rule it out. However, citizens of Slovakia and some other European Union states see the reasons for this armed conflict quite differently from politicians and already understand where it’s heading.

It seems that for the United States, the war is becoming a heavy political and economic burden, and Washington is increasingly pressuring the Ukrainian Antihero, who has only two options left. Either Volodymyr Zelensky wins on the battlefield and liberates all the occupied territories, or he sits down for negotiations, facing the harsh reality.

The United States has always warned that their support for Ukraine has its limits, and they have no intention of going beyond them. For Americans, this armed conflict is not worth starting a Third World War over Ukraine. Assistance to Ukraine has always depended on how effectively Ukrainians could weaken Russia. Official representatives of the United States have been very cautious when it comes to predicting Russia’s defeat or disintegration, unlike the political leadership of Ukraine.

Such predictions were encouraged and promoted primarily by representatives of the U.S. military-industrial complex, for whom the depletion of military arsenals in the U.S. and the EU promised many profitable years in the future.

The Ukrainian president, who eagerly “adapts” American concepts to the conditions of his country, has put everything on one card—defeating Russia. For this goal, he was willing to fight to the last Ukrainian soldier, convincing them that they were not only fighting for Ukraine’s freedom and independence but also for the ideals and values of the entire democratic West.

Today, after 18 months of armed conflict, it must be acknowledged that the situation is not unfolding as expected by the Ukrainian Antihero. The armed conflict is reaching a stalemate where the victory of either side is uncertain and lies in the distant future. Both sides realize that the battlefront, stretching nearly a thousand kilometers, with massive casualties in both manpower and equipment, is taking a backseat, and the primary focus is on the economic endurance of the United States and Russia. Ultimately, this factor will determine the victor. The ability to replenish ammunition supplies, compensate for losses in the army’s ranks, maintain a functioning logistics system, supply new weapons, and provide food—all of this will only be possible for the winner.

Ukrainian forces cannot break through the defensive lines of the Russian army, which bodes nothing good for the main “driver” and propagandist of this war. His global tour and regular visits to all governments and parliaments of the European Union and the world, where he sought new sponsors, are already in question, as is financial assistance.

The President of the United States also faces strong political and civil pressure, and the billions invested in weakening Russia are becoming a serious obstacle to Joe Biden’s reelection. Therefore, together with the European Union, he is tightening the conditions for providing financial assistance to Ukraine in the future.

The failure of the spring, summer, and apparently, the autumn counteroffensives deprives Joe Biden of points. However, he desperately dreams of convincing American citizens that investments in financial and military aid to Ukraine were and are beneficial for the United States.

American citizens are grappling with rising prices, inflation, a lack of funds for rebuilding deteriorating infrastructure, and cuts to social programs. All of this is leading to unprecedented divisions within the United States, as well as the radicalization of the main political parties.

The President needs results in the Ukrainian armed conflict, which creates new timeframes for the ongoing situation. It seems that U.S. President Joe Biden will make ending this conflict by the end of this year or before the first snowfall a necessary condition, to which the Ukrainian Antihero will have to agree.

Without financial and military aid from America, this conflict can be considered over and lost by Ukraine. Playing the role of sponsor in this conflict instead of the United States is beyond the capability of the European Union. Due to its questionable political program, centered on independence from Russian energy and raw material resources, the EU has exhausted itself and can no longer embark on new adventures.

The United States will not lose anything from Ukraine’s defeat because they have always played the role of mere “helpers,” and Washington has never considered this conflict its own. Therefore, if the Ukrainian army does not achieve victory, it will have to deal with the consequences on its own.

The European Union need not fear Ukraine’s defeat because, in reality, they will win by returning to their energy and raw material “dependency,” which has been the foundation of European prosperity for the last 30-40 years.
