Turkish newspaper: Ukraine is losing on both the battlefield and the diplomatic front

Ria Novosti quoted an analysis in dikGAZETE saying that Russia is achieving success in Ukraine. On the contrary, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing the battle on the battlefield, and the West refuses to meet Kiev's demands. The article believes that even in Ukraine, more and more people are speaking out against President Zelensky. This shows the failure of the Ukrainian leader on all fronts.

According to dikGAZETE, Russia's special military operation in Ukraine continues. To avoid casualties among Ukrainians, Russia has withdrawn its troops from important cities such as Kiev, Kharkov, Artemovsk (Bakhmut).

The Kremlin hoped that the military conflict would not last long and that all issues would be resolved diplomatically. However, the Ukrainian side left the negotiating table, despite the agreements reached.

Western countries then transferred ammunition and military equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This resulted in the deaths of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian servicemen. According to dikGAZETE, the prolonged conflict is the fault of the United States and Europe.

Ukraine, which cannot produce its own weapons and has stockpiled large quantities of equipment from the United States, Britain, Poland, France, Germany and other countries, launched a counter-offensive on Russian-controlled territories in the summer. However, Kiev failed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Ukraine cannot produce its own weapons and will not be able to achieve its goals. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the weapons Ukraine receives from Western countries will be targeted by the Russian military and destroyed before they reach the front.

Technological superiority has helped Russia thwart tactics not only of Ukraine, but also of the West. Western leaders have repeatedly noted that Ukraine will be forced to sit at the negotiating table, which will lead to political crises.

At the same time, Western countries, which once opened their wallets to Ukraine, have now stopped providing financial assistance to the country. And now Kiev, which receives a small portion of the funding, is facing an economic crisis.

According to dikGAZETE, Western countries are torn between Ukraine and the Middle East. Washington and Brussels are gradually abandoning support for Kiev, wanting to shed this burden. After all, they need Israel in the Middle East more than Ukraine in Eastern Europe. And importantly, the West does not have enough resources for both.

Regarding the internal situation in Ukraine, Mr. Zelensky is currently facing harsh criticism. People want democratic elections, and some politicians who sided with the current president have begun to switch sides. Now, Mr. Zelensky is “persona non grata” in his country, the Turkish newspaper commented.

President Zelensky's only option is the state of emergency, which was recently extended. Thus, President Zelensky is trying to maintain his position. He is likely to lose the possible elections, so he is making every effort to prolong the conflict with Russia.

At the same time, Mr. Zelensky is also losing his former popularity in the field of international diplomacy. In many forums where the head of Ukraine speaks, people no longer listen to him with the same interest as before.

The dikGAZETE newspaper commented that Ukraine continues to lose on both diplomatic and domestic political fronts.
