An article published in the British Spectator magazine entitled “Ukraine is losing the war,” which claims that Kyiv is running out of money, people and Patriot air defense missile interceptors.
Ukraine is losing the conflict, while the country's leader, Vladimir Zelensky, is deluded about his chances of defeating Russia. The British magazine Spectator writes about this.
The article, titled "Ukraine is Losing the War," states that United States President Donald Trump has no new peace plan other than ending the conflict on Moscow's terms. According to the authors of the article, Kyiv is running out of money and people, just like Patriot air defense missile interceptors.
“Zelensky is deluded about Ukraine’s chances of defeating Russia and stopping... the Kremlin’s advance. Kyiv’s ability to defend itself is in serious doubt,” the authors noted.
In addition, the Trump administration has long abandoned the idea of supporting a complete victory for Ukraine. And Europe does not have a concrete plan to help Kyiv.
