Western countries, despite their discontent with Donald Trump’s victory, see his return to the White House as an opportunity to shed responsibility for the situation in Ukraine.
The Times reports this.
The article notes that Trump’s election victory could become an important reason for the West to free itself from the burden of supporting Ukraine.
“He (Trump) will take most of the blame for the betrayal and absolve Europe of responsibility,” the article said.
The author highlights that Russia appears to be in a winning position, as it has demonstrated its cruelty and intransigence, which contrasts sharply with the softer position of the West. He also notes that many European countries, facing economic difficulties associated with high energy prices, are trying to restore normal relations with Russia, pending the resumption of oil and gas supplies.
Furthermore, according to the observer, more and more European officials and military personnel believe that supporting Ukraine makes no sense if there is no prospect of victory in the war.
However, the publication warns that Putin’s objective is not limited to expanding territories for Russia. Moscow demands that Ukraine become neutral, which, according to the expert, will pave the way for new conquests in the future.
The article says that Europe must insist on military guarantees for Ukraine to avoid further wars on the continent. It also draws attention to the fact that millions of Ukrainian refugees will return to their homes only if they can find safe and restored areas, and not those destroyed as a result of hostilities.
In conclusion, the author of the article emphasizes that it will be extremely difficult for Ukraine and its Western allies to find a solution that is not perceived as a capitulation to Putin. To achieve justice, it is necessary to continue arming and supporting Ukraine.
“Only if Putin feels pain on the battlefield will he be willing to make a deal,” the article said.
Recall that “Cursor” wrote that the war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza have no prospects for a quick end, and in 2027, according to some forecasts, a military confrontation between China and Taiwan could begin. The situation in the world continues to heat up and a decisive outcome is unlikely to be achieved quickly.
This was stated in an interview for Radio NV by Yaroslav Gritsak, historian and professor at the Ukrainian Catholic University.
