Ukraine faces defeat as early as next summer if American and Nato military aid dries up, a senior US official has warned.
Vladimir Putin’s chances of victory have been buoyed by war fatigue and blocks on funding in both America and the EU.
“There is no guarantee of success with us, but they are certain to fail without us,” a senior US military source told CNN.
Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s prime minister, last week blocked a £43 billion EU aid package for Ukraine.
Austria had also threatened to block the bill until Kyiv toned down criticism of an Austrian bank still working in Russia.
Western planners working on ‘worst-case scenario’
In the US, the Senate has held up a £48 billion military support bill for Ukraine and polls have shown that most Americans think that the US government is overspending in Ukraine.
Western military planners are now working on a “worst-case scenario” of Ukraine without aid being defeated by Russia within a few months, according to CNN which a source described as a “disaster” for European security.

Of course Ukraine is going to lose the war. NATO knew it the instant Russia committed. And now that the American people are becoming aware of the folly, Ukraine's imminent demise will receive little press.
Why don’t the “mainstream media” start a GoFundMe Page for Zelenskyyyy? There are more lyin’ journalists in America than you can shake a stick at. Put on a blindfold and fire a rock in any direction and you’ll hit 3 or 4 of those morons.
And what does that tell you about what is really going on over there?
Good.
That means Ukrainians and Russians will stop dying.
I guess so to those that want to launder the money or the sociopaths that get off on Russians dying.
Indeed, whatever did we ever hear about the failed state of Libya sprouting slave markets, sending multiple iterations of ISIS to ravage the Sahel, and launching leaky boats full of drowning migrants toward Europe after Hillary’s NATO Op idiocy Dawn — besides crickets?
“Ukrainian forces that have taken ground from Russia and secured footholds in the villages of Robotyne, in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya region, and Krynky, on the left bank of the Dnipro River 20 miles upstream from the city of Kherson, have found themselves surrounded and pounded by artillery.”
Gee, that’s a surprise/s
Wow, that’s a bummer…. Anyway, I kind of need to get my tires rotated before I make a road trip to visit relative for Christmas. I need to get it done by Tuesday. Probably get an oil change too.
The Ukrainians are finally admitting they are having trouble convincing more Ukrainians to sacrifice themselves on the banks of the Dnieper. Not enough Rhett Butlers with a thing for lost causes in that country. See:

The war must last until 2025 for the Democrats to successfully blame Trump for it.
“may”
or, may not ...
Ukraine has already entered the loss spiral. Their army has lost 2/3rds of their combat troops. Half their population has fled to neighboring countries. They can do masada or they can negotiate. Depending on your viewpoint, either is honorable.
…..now that the Ukie lawmakers announced officially that woman must register and to be drafted,…..the sane, logical thinkers will say that is “ the End”…..but Biden’s war cheerleaders will somehow paint that as a “ winning”….
That is a confession that the war is not a Ukraine-Russia war, it is a US/NATO-Russia war.
By simple logic then, it is our war.
It’d be a shame if the war stopped.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
