As the probability of any massive breakthrough by the Ukrainians this year darkens, it raises the disturbing outlook for Washington, D.C. and its allies that the conflict in Ukraine will be prolonged. Given this, Kyiv will continue to demand massive infusions of Western-supplied armaments and more training for what personnel Ukraine still has.
But neither the U.S. nor its allies have enough resources to continue providing Ukraine with everything it claims it needs to force Russian troops from the approximately 20 percent of Ukraine that it still controls. (Related: NATO members are running out of weapons that they can send to Ukraine.)
Kyiv's inability to make progress against Russian defenses has convinced several Western military observers that Ukrainian forces require more training in complicated military maneuvers and more powerful air defenses. Moscow, meanwhile, remains in a position strong enough to protect its hundreds of miles of barricades from Ukrainian assaults. It also has sufficient air power to ward off Kyiv's troops. At present, Ukraine remains on the offensive and continues to struggle to take Russian positions where troops have had months to create strong defenses that include minefields, bunkers and other physical barriers. "Ukraine really needs to be able to scale up and synchronize military operations if it wants to be able to break through Russian defenses," warned independent military analyst Franz-Stefan Gady, who recently toured Ukrainian front lines.Chinese student arrested for omitting link to PLA-backed university in F-1 visa application
