A war of attrition against Russia has never proved to be a good idea. From Napoleon’s France to Hitler’s Germany, many have attempted it, but no one has succeeded in finally killing the Bear. So why would Zelensky be the one to achieve it?

The president of Ukraine has recently been touring the United States, raising funds for his country’s war effort, but most of all trying to put forward his strategy on how Russia can be defeated.

Zelensky met with President Biden and Vice-President Harris, but also with former President Trump, to sell his “victory plan”. He returned home with an extra $8 billion, but no commitment on the use of US long-range weapons systems against Russia.
