“The big European capitals are waiting for the American elections and hope that in the meantime a miracle will happen in Ukraine. Many believe that the Ukrainians can hold out for another year or two without additional aid. But this is not true. We cannot fight until the life of the last Ukrainian.”
Alyona Getmanchuk, the Director of the New Europe Center, warns in the analysis by Le Figaro.
“West`s wondering how to help Kyiv in the long term. In the military field, first of all, where stagnation did not wait for the return of autumn mud and winter cold to set in and freeze initiatives. Some believed they saw in the social and political crises that rocked the Kremlin during the year a possible collapse of the Russian military in the medium term. That hope has since been dashed. The Europeans underestimated the military capabilities of the Russians”, sums up Alyona Getmanchuk.
