WSJ: Podoliak Revealed Details of Ukraine's "Victory Plan".
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for the third year and is becoming increasingly difficult for Ukraine. Russia continues its advance despite losses, while Western leaders are looking for a strategy to end the conflict.
Ukraine is facing limited supplies of Western weapons, putting it in a tough position for the winter. The Ukrainian army is gradually losing positions, but is trying to inflict maximum losses on Russian troops.
Russian missiles and drones are attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leading to power outages across the country. The situation could worsen in the winter.
Ukrainian troops maintain strategic positions in the east, while Russia continues its advance in other populated areas.
During his visits to European capitals and the US, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has requested more weapons and security guarantees to end the war on favorable terms. However, the Biden administration responded with caution to these requests.
The Ukrainian army's plan includes a strategy encompassing military, economic, political, and diplomatic steps to force Russia to stop the war.
Ukrainian units at the front line face shortages of equipment and personnel. However, less than one-tenth of Ukrainians are willing to cede territory to end the war, according to a survey by the "Democratic Initiatives" Foundation.
Russian forces are also suffering significant losses, particularly due to "costly" ground attacks.
