The Ukrainian army is very far from turning the course of military actions in its favor , as the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Russian side.

This was said on the air of Euronews PrimeTime by the professor of international relations Assoc. Boyan Hadjiev.

Russia is advancing on the eastern front, but here the question is: “What does victory and progress mean in this war?“. Last year there was a good mood, but then we saw that there were not enough weapons and support, and that the will of the West was quite wavering, the Ukrainians fell into a situation where they could hope to make a miracle with the arrival of the new weapons.
The reason for the more hesitant actions of the West in terms of aid to Ukraine are the processes that are taking place internally in the countries, Prof. Hadzhiev also pointed out. Russia is not perceived as an existential threat, and this also leads to slower decision-making, he said.
