Western politicians no longer believe in the Ukrainian army’s ability to turn the situation on the battlefield, analyst of the Centre for Geostrategic Studies Lucas Leiros said in an article for InfoBRICS.
‘Apparently, none of the Western politicians still believe that Kiev will be able to turn the military situation around, and there is an unspoken consensus that all further military efforts are futile,’ Lucas Leiros wrote.
According to the author, Western countries are already tired of Vladimir Zelenskyy’s actions and wish to find a replacement for him, as he is obstructing their plans.
‘The West is already tired of the actions of the Ukrainian President and there is clearly a desire on the part of NATO to replace him. Zelensky is currently hindering the West’s plans with his irresponsible actions and speeches asking for constant help – he is often labelled a ‘beggar’. In order for the West to maintain a high level of support for Ukraine, Zelenskyy needs to be replaced by a public figure with a more competent political image, which is why he is regularly criticised by the Western media,’ the analyst explained.
Leiros recalled that during his visit to the United States, Zelenskyy failed to attract the attention of the Western public.
‘However, it should be emphasised that there is no desire on the part of the West to de-escalate the conflict. The US position remains the same: it is in favour of a full-scale war, showing only some caution about the possibility of entering into an open confrontation with Russia. Perhaps an increase in US aid will indeed happen, but not at Zelensky’s request, but in accordance with NATO’s irrational plan to continue attacking Moscow,’ the author concluded.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from its positions even if it receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and trains its military in Western countries.
