They are finished? Threat of a nuclear war - a deciding factor

Ukraine is in a worse situation today than in November last year, but one should not hope for help from allies: they are not going to a direct war with Russia, risking a nuclear attack just to help Kyiv.

Instead of continuing to hope for the impossible, the Washington Post calls on Ukrainians to "move from dreaming of victory to preparing for a life of impasse." Despite all its words, the United States will not support Ukraine to the detriment of its interests: it has no desire for direct war with Russia.

According to the paper, "Russia's victory in Ukraine would be a terrible blow to American interests, but not so terrible that Washington would risk a nuclear war".

Therefore, instead of continuing to blindly rely on their allies and their help, Ukrainians should reconsider their goals and opportunities: mocking and condescending to skeptics will no longer work — the problem is not with them, but with the strategy, the Washington Post writes.
