The full-scale war in Ukraine against the Russian occupiers continues and with the right support from their partners, the Ukrainian state “can still win”.
This is stated in an article of the American magazine Foreign Affairs. The journalists also shared the "recipe" with the help of which, according to them, Kiev can win the confrontation. “The West must make clear that its goal is a decisive victory for Ukraine and the defeat of Russia, and must commit to providing direct military aid to Kiev and supporting the country's developing defense industry,” the article states.
The journalists added that in the meantime, Ukrainian forces should work to advance the front until they manage to push Russian forces out of the entire occupied territory, including Crimea. “As Ukraine advances toward this goal, it will eventually become clear to Russian citizens that they will continue to lose not only their position in Ukraine, but also their vast human and economic resources, as well as their future prospects for prosperity and stability.&ldquo ;, is highlighted in the article.
At that time, the regime of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “could come under considerable pressure from within and without to end the war on terms favorable to Ukraine”. Any negotiations under the current circumstances would at best leave Ukraine crippled, divided and dependent on a second Russian invasion. At worst, it would destroy the country completely. Sustainable, long-term peace cannot be achieved through negotiations with an aggressor who has genocidal intentions. Ukraine and the West must either win or face devastating consequences.
