    They are already starting to propagate a stab in the back myth. Another failed offensive and they'll probably turn on the West.

      There is nothing the West could "realistically" send that would win the war in Ukraine's favor. I'm curious how the West is going to react to Azovite terror attacks in their countries.

          It is certainly a worry.

          Curtailing aid to Ukraine would only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.
