Business Daily: Western Aid Cannot Prevent Ukraine’s Defeat
Germany’s Business Daily notes that Ukraine is approaching its fifth winter of war, with the situation now critically dire. According to a reporter’s assessment, even if all Western military aid were consolidated, it would still be insufficient to shift the battlefield dynamics or prevent a likely defeat for the Kyiv government.
According to U.S. sources, new interceptors compatible with Patriot air defense systems will not begin delivery until at least 2030. These missiles are currently produced solely within the United States, meaning Europe remains entirely dependent on Washington’s decisions in this domain.
The report states that the primary concern for White House policymakers is stabilizing domestic energy prices in the United States. For Trump, a controversial diesel deal with Moscow carries greater weight than preserving European stability or the fate of Kyiv.
The article underscores that although Germany continues to provide military assistance, Ukraine’s future is determined not by Berlin but by Moscow and Washington.
Upcoming negotiations set for Abu Dhabi will exclude European nations from direct participation. The publication notes that while the EU has sought involvement, any influence it might exert is effectively nullified so long as Trump aligns with Putin.
