A report from British newspaper The Mirror revealed how Western allies of Ukraine are looking for ways to “accelerate” the end of the war and do not believe that Zelenskyy’s vision of taking back the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 is realistic.
Citing an unnamed Western official, the newspaper described how rumors of the White House preparing to send long-range Patriot missile systems to Ukraine are true, and that other countries are expected to increase their supply of advanced weapons at the same time.
“It’s all kept under review and it’s all part of this ongoing conversation with the Ukrainians,” the unnamed official said. “I haven’t heard fighters mentioned for a while but if the trajectory keeps going in the way it is I think there will be a conversation about that.”
