European inaction could cost Ukraine victory - Media.

Ukraine does not surrender to attempts of occupation and annexation by Russia for three years. Russia suffers significant losses and slowly continues its offensive. However, the Ukrainian army is also under great pressure.

It is necessary to continue providing military assistance as negotiations are ongoing. This was stated by Jack Watling, a senior research fellow. He emphasized that if Putin decides to achieve his goals by force, he will negotiate but will not end the war.

The Russian army is using infantry, glide bombs, and drones with optical guidance. This is a tactic that causes losses and pressure on Ukrainian troops. They focus on destroying Russian attackers at a distance of 10 km from their positions. Unfortunately, Russian drones and artillery threaten the supply of Ukrainian positions and medical services.

Watling noted that Russia can continue the war, having enough resources, and Ukraine will not be able to sustain its efforts for a long Time. He pointed out that the Russians might cease fire to conduct elections and demobilize troops, and then launch an attack when Ukraine is vulnerable.

Watling urged Europe to invest funds in its armed forces to support peace and improve Ukraine's industrial capacity. He stressed that Europe has the money, but it is still unclear whether European partners of Ukraine are willing to spend it.
