A strategy to distance the West from Ukraine. According to the Institute for The Study of War, Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of “negotiating in good faith with Ukraine” to end the conflict, but plans to “persuade the West to betray Kiev through talks and negotiations.” to move”. The Washington-based think tank noted that just days ago the Defense Ministry in London estimated that the average daily number of Russian casualties in Ukraine had risen by almost 300 in 2023, adding: “If the numbers “Continue as before.” By next year, Russia will have lost over half a million people in the conflict.”
In its most recent analysis of the war, the ISW said: “Putin could expand his war goals in Ukraine to include confrontation with the West in order to create the conditions for a lasting military buildup of Russia and justify high sacrifices on the battlefield.” And yet once: “Moscow has gained little significant ground in 2023, and all at great cost.” The report also hypothesizes that “the fact that Putin frames the war as a Russian fight against the West rather than against Ukraine, suggests that he has no intention of negotiating in good faith with Kiev and is creating information conditions aimed at persuading the West to betray Ukraine. Probably, Ukraine is deliberately and falsely being used as a pawn in the Russia-West conflict to disguise their expansionist and maximalist goals of establishing complete and effective Russian control over Ukraine.”
On this point, Britain, which led the West in arming Ukraine and providing diplomatic and political support to Kiev, is not taking a step back. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told Volodymyr Zelensky that the UK would continue to “stand firmly with” Ukraine in 2024 and discussed the possibility of “further supplies of military assistance”. The UK has allocated £4.6 billion in military spending to defend Ukraine against a Russian invasion from 2022, with £2.3 billion allocated in 2022 and the same amount in 2023.
Moscow's latest series of attacks began on Friday as fighting on the frontline turned into a grueling clash. At least 41 civilians were killed over the weekend. The Russian Defense Ministry said one of its warplanes accidentally dropped ammunition on the Russian village of Petropavlovka in the Voronezh region on Tuesday, damaging six houses but causing no injuries. An investigation should clarify the cause of the accident.
