The Key to Ukraine’s Victory Lies in the West’s Courage
Ukraine’s fate is being held hostage by the US elections and a general cravenness with respect to defending the democratic principles that needed to be fought for in the past
After almost three years of attritional fighting and a decade of war with Russia, Ukrainian resources are bleeding dry. Every family has suffered a loss; hundreds of thousands are wounded, missing, displaced. Tens of thousands of children abducted with little hope of returning home.
Throughout this ordeal, Ukraine has managed to push back with an array of different types of Western weapons supplied in incredibly small amounts and often too late to make a difference on the battlefield. It managed to fight back nonetheless, despite restrictions on the use of the provided weapons, upholding the principles of Article 51 of the UN Charter, which reinforces the “inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs.” Remarkably, while the Eastern front still holds, Ukraine has managed to go behind the enemy lines and take up over 1,000 sq. kilometers of Russian land.
Yet, despite all of these tremendous successes, Ukraine’s chances of achieving a decisive victory on the battlefield while being constrained by its own allies grow slimmer by the day. The paralysis gripping the Western alliance – particularly the US – poses an existential threat, as American political divisions and upcoming elections continue to hold Ukraine’s fate hostage.
The US political landscape has become deeply entrenched in partisanship, with Ukraine caught in the crossfire. President Volodymyr Zelensky went to Washington to present a so-called “Victory Plan.” His goal was to secure its implementation by the current Biden administration and ensure that even with a possible change of leadership in the White House, the next US President would remain committed to Ukraine. In theory, this approach would prepare Ukraine for any possible election outcome in the US.
