West increases pressure on Ukraine over protracted war. Allies want Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, El Pais has said

According to the newspaper, Western countries believe that in order to stop the Russian Federation’s offensive in Donbas, Ukraine will need much more military support than it has previously received.

 

However, the attention of these countries is being diverted to other international crises, in particular the conflict in the Middle East.

In addition, time is of the essence for Ukraine due to the upcoming US presidential election, where a possible victory of Donald Trump could significantly change the US foreign policy towards Ukraine.
