'Biden is signaling that his administration intends to measure this war in years, not months.'
The president said as much in a statement Wednesday in which he argued that the weapons will help ensure that Ukraine “can continue to defend itself over the long term.”
As the war in Ukraine passes its six-month mark, the war’s belligerents seem to agree. On the Russian side, one of Moscow’s top diplomats recently“We do not have any contacts with the western delegations. On the protocol side we do not see each other. Privately we do not have any contacts, unfortunately… we simply do not talk to each other,” said Gennady Gatilov, Russia’s envoy to UN offices in Geneva.
This wide opposition to diplomacy comes as the situation on the ground has reached a bloody stalemate. As Zack Beauchampin Vox, both Ukraine and Russia are unlikely to break that trend as they’ve become convinced that it’s in their political interest to dig in. “Ukraine’s future, then, depends on the success of its war effort. Russia, by contrast, is fighting to minimize its losses — to salvage something from the geopolitical wreckage wrought by the decision to invade in the first place,” Beauchamp wrote. “Both sides believe they can improve their ultimate outcomes on these metrics on the battlefield.”
