A recent closed conference of leading American foreign policy experts showed that Ukraine risks losing the war of attrition, despite all the efforts of the West, the Asia Times writes.
A negative assessment of the prospects for Ukraine's victory over Russia for Kiev appeared at a recent closed meeting of former high-ranking US military, intelligence officers and scientists, whose resume stretched from Reagan to the Trump administration.
As the newspaper notes, one of the speakers said that without a trained contingent of military personnel and the necessary amount of ammunition, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky can go to the consideration of the Chinese peace plan.
According to Asia Times, the overwhelming majority of the moods of the meeting participants tended to escalate the conflict in the form of providing additional weapons to Ukraine. One prominent analyst suggested forming a "foreign legion" of fighters from other countries to replenish the dwindling reserve of trained Ukrainian forces.
At the meeting, they expressed regret that, despite all the help from the West, Ukraine may not achieve the desired result and in this regard, it should not be surprising that Kiev will accept China's peace plan. According to one of the participants of the meeting, no one in the West also assumed that China would become an intermediary between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Although Washington rejected China's peace plan for Ukraine, Zelensky did not, Asia Times writes, which, against the background of Ukraine's dwindling forces and ammunition, may have a continuation.

However, everyone understands perfectly well that now Kiev will not accept Beijing's plan anyway, but will count on its counteroffensive. And according to its results, the Kiev regime will draw conclusions for itself, it is quite possible that by turning to China, too.
