Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky had admitted his counter-offensive has failed, and the war is now in a “new phase”.
“We wanted faster results,” the Ukrainian leader said. “From that perspective, unfortunately, we did not achieve the desired results. And this is a fact,” he conceded.
Zelensky explained there is “not enough power to achieve the desired results faster,” complaining his Western sponsors did not give him all the weapons he asked for. He also expressed concerns the Israel-Hamas war is shifting U.S. focus away from his war effort.
“You see, attention equals help. No attention will mean no help. We fight for every bit of attention,” he explained. “Without attention, there may be weakness in Congress.”
The Joe Biden regime already appears to have begun pressing the Ukrainians to come to terms with Russia. Officials in Germany, the European Union’s biggest economy, are assisting them, warning Zelensky “should come to the realization that things cannot go on like this.”
There is an increasing sense that, after the failure of this year’s Ukrainian counter-offensive, the West cannot equip another one.
“We built up this mountain of steel for the counter-offensive. We can’t do that again,” said one now-former U.S. official. “It doesn’t exist.”
