The Russo-Ukraine war has lasted for nearly a year and a half. Although Ukraine launched a counter-offensive operation that Western countries have long anticipated in June this year, progress has been slow and there has been no major breakthrough so far. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy admitted in an interview on the 8th that the counteroffensive was in trouble and “it may be slower than anyone expected.” CNN commented that Ukraine’s stagnant offensive will bring huge political problems to the United States.
“Counterattack is difficult, especially when there are no weapons, because this is a war.” Zelensky said in a meeting with Latin American media that this may happen faster than some hope or see But he called on allies to be patient and vowed that Ukrainian forces would prevail over demoralized Russians: “Our eyes are full of fatigue, but their eyes are full of fear. Those are two very different things.”
CNN analyzed that Ukraine is launching a “key offensive”, but so far, this offensive has not met the expectations of Ukraine itself and its Western allies. The report stated even more bluntly: “One of Ukraine’s greatest tragedies is that it cannot decide its own destiny alone.”

According to reports, Zelensky’s government relies on a large number of armaments provided by the United States and Western allies. And Russia also has a big say in whether and when to end the war. So while sacrifices on the battlefield will determine how much territory Ukraine retakes, the outcome of the war will also be influenced by external factors, including changes in the political power of governments in the United States, Moscow, and Europe.
The analysis pointed out that the stagnation of counter-offensive operations and the stalemate in winter will have a special impact on the United States, because this may intensify domestic doubts regarding the support for the war in the United States. In addition, next year is also an election year in the United States. President Joe Biden is the most important supporter of the Ukrainian military, but former President Trump is skeptical of NATO.
CNN stated that Trump had promised to end the war within 24 hours, and it is very likely that Putin’s conditions will be met. Even if Trump is not nominated by the Republican Party to run in 2024 in the future, the decline in popular support for the war will deal a blow to Biden.
