Regardless of greater than two years of conflict – and a whole lot of hundreds of casualties – Western leaders stay divided on what they need Kyiv to realize.
Many search Ukraine’s survival in some kind as a sovereign nation; others argue something lower than Russia’s defeat, evicted from Ukraine completely could be appeasement, and way more harmful.
This absence of a transparent goal has led to a muddled coverage of arming Ukraine with sufficient to survive, however not sufficient to win. As issues stand, subsequently, a chronic bloody stalemate – or the gradual, attritional defeat of Ukraine – appears the battle’s almost certainly final result.
