Summary
Ukraine’s war against Russia is unsustainable, unwinnable, and draining resources, with President Zelinsky’s insistence on total victory being seen as unrealistic, and a diplomatic solution seems more favorable.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia was deemed unwinable from the beginning due to Russia’s status as a nuclear superpower and their high military capacity.
There is no realistic aim or plan for regime change in Russia, as the country has a different mentality and a history of war.
Going to war with Russia seems untenable, considering their history of winning wars against formidable opponents and their possession of nuclear weapons.
The role of independent media becomes significant in providing alternative perspectives and reporting on issues of corruption within Ukraine.
The narrative around Ukraine’s war aims is breaking wide open, with Zelinsky’s advisers reconsidering the realism of their goals.
The depletion of human life in war, as seen in the case of Ukraine’s conscription policies, raises ethical concerns about the cost of conflict.
Corruption in Ukraine’s government is a concern for US and NATO allies, risking billions of dollars disappearing into the pockets of corrupt officials.
Zelensky and Ukraine are being exploited, probably to trial weapons and do deals in subsequent rebuilding, while he is used as a celebrity of the day and discarded when the war is no longer useful.
