It is only getting harder. Twenty months into the war, about a fifth of Ukraine’s territory remains under Russian occupation. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed, and Zelensky can feel during his travels that global interest in the war has slackened. So has the level of international support. “The scariest thing is that part of the world got used to the war in Ukraine,” he says. “Exhaustion with the war rolls along like a wave. You see it in the United States, in Europe. And we see that as soon as they start to get a little tired, it becomes like a show to them: ‘I can’t watch this rerun for the 10th time.’”
Public support for aid to Ukraine has been in decline for months in the U.S., and Zelensky’s visit did nothing to revive it. Some 41% of Americans want Congress to provide more weapons to Kyiv, down from 65% in June, when Ukraine began a major counteroffensive, according to a Reuters survey taken shortly after Zelensky’s departure. That offensive has proceeded at an excruciating pace and with enormous losses, making it ever more difficult for Zelensky to convince partners that victory is around the corner. With the outbreak of war in Israel, even keeping the world’s attention on Ukraine has become a major challenge.

Already was
sick of the reruns from before this last 20 month run. Its been a long complicated and very bloody mess for decades.
“On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”
That could be Saddam, Milosevich or Hitler.
Ukraine will soon shatter on the front lines and collapse.
Or Churchill.
What will the Zelenskyy fanbois here do now? I got accused last night of being a Putinista merely because I want the killing to stop. Some ppl are just as obsessed with Ukraine as Vlod, which is quite puzzling.
Putin can stop the killing at any time by halting his attacks on Ukraine and pulling his troops home to Mother Russia.
We've been over this before.
The Russian troops are in the Russian Federation oblasts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk.
Nooooo...the Muscovites are in the invaded and occupied Ukrainian oblasts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk, which nobody outside of Russia accepts as Muscovite now.
You do.
You used the correct Russian spelling of "Zaporozhye" instead of the name used by the invaders from whom the Russians liberated it: "Zaporizhzhia".
The US is out of money, out of arms, and I don’t think we can defend against the Hypersonic missiles. They can strike like lightning. From what I have heard they can target DC and at the last second take out NYC. Maneuverablity, 20 times the speed of sound, and pissed off at America. THANKS DC... They ALL have a part in this, R’s and D’s. They allowed the fraud in office, because they hated Trump. Hell, they hate America as formed, enough to destroy it all.
