The publication believes that the decision to supply Ukraine with increasingly sophisticated weapons, such as anti-ship missiles and long-range mobile artillery, “reflects the readiness of growing Western capitals to risk unintentional escalation in relations with Russia.”
According to the newspaper, analysts say that “despite the surge in foreign aid and the high morale of Ukrainian servicemen, Kyiv and its supporters can only hope for a stalemate with a much larger and better armed Russian army.”
A spokesman for the US State Department, who spoke on condition of anonymity about current international discussions, said that “Biden administration discussed the possibility of a protracted conflict with global side effects before February, as US intelligence suggested that Putin was preparing to invade,” the newspaper said.
The Biden administration hopes that “new weapons, in addition to successive waves of sanctions and Russia’s diplomatic isolation, will be important for a possible end to the war through negotiations, potentially reducing Putin’s willingness to continue fighting,” the official said.
