If the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not show success by the winter of this year, then calls in the West for Kyiv to cede territory will intensify. This is stated in the material of the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The publication cites the opinion of the head of the defense and security department of the Civitas Research Institute, the British military Robert Clark, who acknowledged that the Ukrainian army is facing great difficulties during the counteroffensive. At the same time, the stocks of weapons in the countries providing military assistance to Kyiv are declining, and politicians are beginning to worry about domestic budgets in the run-up to the elections, in particular from the UK and the USA, the expert added.
According to him, “the fighting will soon begin to gradually subside, as the freezing winter undermines the ability of the troops to conduct combat operations of high intensity.” “This will only give Russia more time to further strengthen its defenses,” Clark said.
Previously, former US President Donald Trump admitted the possibility of territorial concessions. However, Kyiv ruled out such a possibility.
