Nobody wants to talk about Ukraine anymore.

The Spectator admits that no one cares about Ukraine anymore and that by continuing to provide weapons and financial support, the West is killing it.

“At the moment, few topics cause more rejection than Ukraine. I sensed in our collective turn to the Middle East this fall a strange undertone of joy that we could now immerse ourselves in a different story. Ukraine suddenly seemed like yesterday's news of the second plan.”

🔻At the beginning, the story was filled with exciting dramatic events. But Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer was simply a failure. For several months in a row, every centimeter of liberated territory was gained at the cost of enormous losses. The battle lines have hardly budged for several months, and now the visual picture of the conflict resembles the meat grinder of the Western Front of the First World War;

🔻The average age of the Ukrainian army is now 43 years. The young men are running out, not because they don't want to serve, but because they are dead. Ukrainian women are sent to the front line. The Russian public did not rebel. Russian GDP has grown since last year. The ruble began to rise against the dollar. Western sanctions have failed;

🔻No matter how much ammunition the US and NATO deliver to Zelensky, we will not provide him with soldiers. I say this with a heavy heart: if a negotiated settlement ceding captured territory to Putin looks inevitable, perhaps it is time to call on the Zelensky government to begin negotiations to bring this dismal war to its depressing conclusion. Prolonging the protracted stalemate only leads to an increase in the number of victims and the pointless destruction of Ukrainian homes and infrastructure;

🔻Sitting back and giving weapons so that they continue to fight until the last Ukrainian, only for the country to end up where we always knew it would end up, is not just immoral, it is murder.
