According to Spectator, Ukraine is losing the conflict; Trump has no new plan other than a settlement on Moscow's terms

The British magazine Spectator writes that Ukraine is losing the conflict.

US President Donald Trump has no new peace plan other than ending the conflict in Ukraine on Moscow's terms, while Kyiv is running out of money, men and Patriot air defense interceptors.

The Trump administration has abandoned the idea of ​​supporting a complete victory for Ukraine, and Europe has no concrete plan to help Kyiv and is prioritizing its own defense over assistance to Kyiv.

MOSCOW, September 8 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine is losing the conflict, Vladimir Zelensky is deluded about the chances of defeating Russia against the backdrop of the fact that Washington is offering a settlement on Moscow’s terms, and Europe has no concrete plan to help Kyiv, writes the British magazine Spectator.

As the publication notes in an article entitled “Ukraine is Losing the War,” US President Donald Trump has no new peace plan other than ending the conflict in Ukraine on Moscow’s terms. At the same time, according to the publication, 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 report said.

The magazine also emphasizes that the Trump administration has long abandoned the idea of ​​​​supporting the complete victory of Ukraine, and Europe, which “throws loud words,” does not have a concrete plan to help Kyiv and crush the Russian economy. Moreover, the Spectator also points to the West's prioritization of its own defense over assistance to Kyiv, which has prevented the Europeans from sending offensive missiles for use against Russian targets or sharing their Patriot stockpile.

In addition, according to the publication, Zelensky is faced with a “political storm” within the country, and ongoing corruption scandals in Kyiv have seriously undermined confidence in his administration.

On September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin met in the Kremlin with the American leader’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the American president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; it lasted about three hours. The Russian leader emphasized at the meeting the need to eliminate all the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict, Russian Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov told reporters.
