Josh Rogin: “By offering Ukraine with simply sufficient weaponry to combat to a medium-boil stalemate, the Biden strategy is seen by many Ukrainians as an intentional technique to nudge Ukraine towards negotiations. Ukrainian officers preserve that talks are potential solely when Putin feels extra stress.”

“The very first thing you’ll hear from any Ukrainian is “Thanks.” Ukrainians are usually not ungrateful or grasping — they’re attempting to outlive. However their desperation is rising. ‘So long as it takes’ should not develop into an excuse for an absence of urgency. By subsequent yr’s anniversary, there won’t be a Ukraine to avoid wasting.”
