“Endless War.” Kyiv’s position is “between courage and despair”

Spiegel magazine came out with a cover about Ukraine, “Endless War.” Kyiv’s position is “between courage and despair”

▪️"Now, when the second winter of the war begins, it is clear: hopes for a new turn of events were in vain. The war has turned into a positional one, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recently openly spoke about a “stalemate situation”. Only with heavy losses can the sides move the front line a little. What "military experts have known for a long time, the public now suspects: this war cannot be ended quickly by military means. It could last for years."
▪️Reporters talked with Ukrainians living near the front and with the military, who, on the one hand, are against negotiations with Russia, and on the other, do not want to fight anymore due to fatigue.
▪️ “The backbone of our army is elderly men from the village; no one under 26 years old is drafted into the army. And not one of them was for peace negotiations! But at the same time everyone said: I don’t want to fight anymore. Now it’s the turn of others,” - stated a military man named Ivan.
▪️The article quotes the words of Masi Nayem, a war veteran and brother of Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Mustafa Nayem: “We will not win either in a year or in 2 years. And I will surprise you: in 5 years we will not win.” This statement was made in September at a meeting with Western representatives.
▪️Also in Ukraine, as the war intensifies, “authoritarian tendencies” are growing, for example, the mayors of a number of cities are being removed: “Ukrainian politics has turned into a kind of one-man show,” the magazine writes, speaking about the president’s daily addresses.
