kyiv is worried. Russian President Vladimir Putin is counting on“collapse” of Western support for Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday December 6 during a teleconference between the leaders of the G7 countries. He reported that the Russian army had “increased the pressure significantly” on the front.
After the failure of the great summer counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, which did not manage to break through the Russian defenses, it was the troops from Moscow who took back the initiative, notably in Adviïvka, an industrial city of the ‘East. Western military and financial aid to Ukraine, crucial to kyiv’s war effort, is increasingly questioned and is the subject of political disputes both in the United States and Europe.
“Russia only hopes for one thing: that the unity of the free world will collapse next year. Russia believes that America and Europe will show weakness and will not maintain their support for Ukraine at the appropriate level”, he said. Although he admitted that Russian forces were on the offensive on the front, the Ukrainian president assured that Ukrainian soldiers “resist[ai]ent to attacks.”
