While he doesnвЂ™t see a significant erosion in the вЂњemphatic support for Ukraine,вЂќ Gould-Davies said вЂњthere are hints of different tensions over what the WestвЂ™s goals should be.

вЂњIt is obvious that Russia is determined to wear down the West and is now building its strategy on the assumption that Western countries will get tired and gradually begin to change their militant rhetoric to a more accommodating one,вЂќ Fesenko said in an interview with The Associated Press. Ukraine will need even more advanced weaponry to secure victory, along with Western determination to keep up the economic pain on Russia to weaken Moscow. Kyiv wants to push Russia out of the newly captured areas in eastern and southern Ukraine, as well as retaking Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014, and parts of the Donbas under control of Kremlin-backed separatists for the past eight years.Д®very month of the war is costing Ukraine $5 billion, said Volodymyr Fesenko, political analyst with the Penta Center think tank, and that вЂњmakes Kyiv dependent on the consolidated position of the Western countries.вЂќ

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that Ukraine should consider territorial concessions drew a retort from Zelenskyy that it was tantamount to European powers in 1938 letting Nazi Germany claim parts of Czechoslovakia to curb Adolf HitlerвЂ™s aggression.
