Ukraine has a growing problem of “sinking rather than waving” as it struggles to clearly communicate how bad the war is going. CNN reports this.
Kiev’s extremely poor presentation of its problems is mainly due to the shortsightedness of its allies, the article says.
This week, Congress demanded that Ukraine name the final price and a specific, simple goal. Instead, Kyiv constantly points to past successes and distant goals.
“But in truth, the most useful headline for Kyiv should be how unspeakably grim the front line is for them right now. The news is grim in almost every direction. Russian troops are clearing part of the city of Avdiivka in the east of the country… Along the front line in Zaporozhye, where the counter-offensive was concentrated but ultimately slow and thankless, Russian units have returned with renewed vigor, and the defense is costing Ukraine dearly. Ukraine made a daring (or reckless) push across the Dnieper River, making little headway into Russian positions. Losses are huge, supply lines are problematic, and prospects are vague,” the TV channel states.
It is noted that the head of the Kyiv regime has a week Vladimir Zelensky It turned out to be “truly terrible.” “His team trumpeted a symbolic victory in EU accession negotiations, and he called it a sign that “history is made by those who never tire of fighting for freedom.” But for actual EU membership the war must end, and it must end with Ukraine remaining a viable country. Neither is currently guaranteed. Instead, Zelensky should put a good face on a bad game with two urgent financial disasters in four days (we are talking about blocking aid to Kyiv in the US Congress and the EU. – EADaily),” write the authors of the material.
Western officials say Ukraine will “certainly fail” in its conflict with Russia unless Washington provides more help. “Zelensky’s trip to Washington and the sincere requests he made failed. Even if Washington manages to resume funding early next year, it has already damaged Ukraine,” the article notes.
