Recent reports indicate a dire situation for Ukraine as Russian forces continue their advance, with significant impacts on frontline communities and cities like Kharkiv. Multiple sources, including Politico and The Economist, suggest that Ukraine is facing a potential defeat due to a lack of weapons, manpower, and morale. This situation is described as a potential 'modern Suez moment' for the West, highlighting the geopolitical stakes involved. The ongoing conflict has reportedly drained the fighting spirit of Ukrainian forces, compounded by a decline in Western support and internal challenges such as potential conscription dodging. Politico's Jamie Dettmer reports that the morale issues could lead to a front-line collapse this summer, as stated by senior officers. Moreover, Vladimir Putin has reportedly never been closer to achieving his military objectives in Ukraine.
