Ukraine still fighting a year after Russian invasion, says more help needed -
Russia, he told a video conference hosted by the Hudson Institute Tuesday, has thrown vast armies, armadas of tanks and every weapon short of its nuclear stockpile at its smaller neighbor, only to be denied a quick victory and has even been forced to cede some ground in the east and south that it long controlled.
Like many in the administration of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the Feb. 24 one-year anniversary of the war looms, Mr. Reznikov noted the heavy skepticism of even Ukraine’s Western supporters that it could hold out long against its larger, better-armed neighbor. And the U.S. and its NATO allies are learning that the fight for Ukraine will have reverberations far beyond the region, he argued.
“Americans have experienced a certain fatigue. They’re asking why they should support Ukraine. That’s only natural,” he said. “But, despite what the Kremlin is trying to tell everyone, this is not a conflict between two Slavic countries. This is an existential conflict between the free world and the world without freedom.”
