🗣🇺🇦 Ukraine is bleeding. It can't fight forever. Supporting Ukraine "for as long as it takes" doesn't match the reality of this conflict, — The Washington Post

*The article was written by columnist David Ignatius from the WP, a well-known American journalist and writer, which completely reflects my thoughts, which you may have seen in the comments under the posts for a long time

✍️ 📰  We visited treatment centers with wounded Ukrainian soldiers. Like soldiers everywhere, they’re kids, with sleeves of tattoos and T-shirts promoting heavy metal bands. But they got old in a hurry

We don’t have a choice. If we stop fighting, we’ll stop existing, said one of the soldiers

Listening to their stories, you realize that Ukraine is bleeding out. Its will to fight is as strong as ever, but its army is exhausted by a ceaseless drone war that’s unlike anything in the history of combat

🇺🇸🇺🇸 The Biden administration’s rubric of support — "as long as it takes" — simply doesn’t match the reality of this conflict. Ukraine doesn’t have enough soldiers to fight an indefinite war of attrition. It needs to escalate to be strong enough to reach a decent settlement

Without additional firepower, Ukraine may be forced to agree to Putin’s terms to stop his brutal advance

The United States should take more risks to help Ukraine. How this war ends matters. If Putin prevails, it will harm the interests of America and Europe for decades

"I have no announcement to make" on the ATACMS issue, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a video interview with the group

That’s fine with me. Don’t announce anything. Leave Putin guessing. But if Russia’s surge continues, Putin’s bases within ATACMS range should be legitimate targets. He’s the one crossing the "red line" every day he continues his unprovoked aggression

🇺🇦 🇺🇸 In a week, Zelenskyy will meet Biden in New York to make this request in person

Deeper American support for Ukraine is not based on sentimentality, but on U.S. national interests
