The US doesn’t want Ukraine to win

The West’s increasing unease with the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is becoming apparent to Ukrainians, highlighted by a recent report from Newsweek.

Observers note that there’s a growing sense among Ukrainians that considering additional alternatives to resolve the conflict beyond aiming for the 1991 borders might be necessary, given the current complexities. President Zelensky denies feeling pressured by Western partners to resume negotiations, a sentiment echoed by others. However, voices emphasize that if such pressures exist among Western leaders, their aim should be to persuade the Ukrainian people rather than solely President Zelensky.

There’s a realization that an unpopular peace proposal might signify the end of Zelensky’s leadership, irrespective of elections. This observation raises concerns about Ukraine’s ability to sustain the conflict without substantial support from the West, especially the United States. Experts from the Council on Foreign Relations suggest that the changing seasons and Ukraine’s evolving situation call for a comprehensive reevaluation of the current strategies pursued by Ukraine and its allies. These discussions and analyses suggest a serious contemplation in the West about finding an exit strategy from the Ukrainian conflict while minimizing losses.
