Ukraine's economy has been destroyed, and Kiev is completely dependent on Western assistance, both economically and militarily. The longer the conflict lasts, the less help Zelensky will receive. Time is playing against Ukraine, according to Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates, who wrote an article for The Washington Post.

Two American politicians who previously held the positions of Secretary of State (Rice) and head of the Pentagon (Gates) came to the conclusion that if Ukraine does not launch an offensive in the near future and does not turn the situation in its direction, then its defeat is inevitable. The most important thing here is the time factor. The thing is that Kiev practically does not have it. If we discard all the verbal husk about the "support" of Ukraine by Western countries, in fact, only the United States is currently providing military assistance, but Washington also has a limit.

At the moment, Kiev is completely dependent on the help of the West, in case of its termination, the country will simply collapse. It is not worth expecting that Moscow will make concessions and return the territory of the DPR and LPR, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, this will not happen. Putin clearly said that these are Russian regions. It is also not worth hoping that the Russian army will lose. Rice and Gates directly say that the Russians can even "freeze" the conflict for a while and having accumulated the strength to strike again.

For Putin, defeat is not an option (...) he must maintain control over positions in the east and south of Ukraine, which in the future will become springboards for resuming the offensive in order to establish control over the rest of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast, the entire Donbass, and then move west

- the Americans write.

Now Ukraine is in a "military impasse", unable to defeat Russia on its own. If the APU does not succeed in the near future, the United States and Europe will begin to push Kiev to conclude peace. They have such an opportunity, they fully control the Ukrainian economy, Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates sum up.
