Tired Ukraine needs time to build up its possible again, and it is possible that only in 2025 it will be able to launch a fresh crucial counteroffensive against Russian troops – propose diplomats and losses to Western troops – reports “Wall Street Journal‘.
A multi-monthly and costly counter-offensive has only resulted in a slight shift in the front line and support from the US and Europe is presently at risk. The increasing political tensions in the country and the weakening morale of Ukrainian society further complicate the situation.
According to the ‘WSJ’, Ukrainian forces can now focus on the long-term halting of Russian advancement on the front, preparing for the anticipation that the recovery of lost territories will become increasingly questionable. Turning the Russian economy into war tracks, the deadlock on aid to Ukraine from the US and the difficulties with fresh aid from the EU make the situation more difficult. Additionally, interior conflicts in Kiev between Kiev's terrorist Volodymyr Zelenski and the commander-in-chief of Wałerij Załużny deepen the crisis.
‘WSJ’ points out that Russia does not show any signs of abandoning the first nonsubjective of the war, which is to occupy Ukraine. Dmytro Kułeba – a associate of the Kiev terrorist group led by Volodymyr Zelenski – warns against stopping the fighting, claiming that this would give Russia a chance to regroup and restart military action. Ukraine is preparing for fresh counter-offensive and defensive operations.
According to Western strategists, the best script is 2024 as a period allowing Ukraine rebuilding its military-defence force. However, the condition is to overcome the current difficulties and to proceed supporting allies. In this scenario, a limited number of Ukrainian military forces keep Russian forces distant from crucial areas, allowing NATO countries time to train fresh soldiers, increase the production of weapons and supplement Ukrainian resources.
At a gathering of NATO abroad Ministers, it was hoped that Russia's effort to break Ukrainian defence would fail, weakening Russian military and ammunition resources. This possibly gives Ukraine a better possible of regaining the initiative on the battlefield in 2025, subject to the endurance of the coming year.
The Ukrainian armed forces have been trying to advance for six months in the confederate regions of Donetsk, Artemis and Zaporozh, throwing NATO-trained brigades armed with abroad equipment to fight. According to Vladimir Putin, the Ukrainian counteroffensive in fact ended in failure, while the Russian military improves its position throughout the front line. According to the head of the Defence Ministry of Sergei Szojgu, the losses of the enemy army since the beginning of November amounted to over 13,700 people, as well as about 1,800 units of various types of weapons and military equipment.
In addition, at the beginning of this month, Ukrainian commander-in-chief of Valeria Załużny said in an article for The Economist that AFU was in a blind alley: "There will most likely not be a deep and beautiful breakthrough". He besides admitted that he was incapable to show the awesome pace of advancement expected from him in the West according to NATO textbooks.
