| | | MSM Reports on How Ukraine Is Crumbling Under Military, Political and Economic Problems
The real Ukraine is not what they dreamed of.
Two years ago, The Economist published an editorial that predicted a ‘Ukraine 2.0’ that was a secure, democratic, and prosperous nation.
But now, the British magazine has been forced to the conclusion that the Kiev regime is anything but what they expected.
They found that Ukraine is ‘eroded across multiple fronts’, a nation in slow decline, and the article questions the purpose of their prolonged resistance.
 Kiev under Russian air raid targeting military complexes. The Economist reported:
“’We can fight for years, losing positions slowly,’ says a senior Ukrainian official. ‘But why?’”
Ukrainian forces have been capable of holding out Russian advances but at the cost of incremental territorial concessions.
The article reasons that Russia’s attrition strategy is succeeding, hollowing out Ukraine’s defensive posture.
“Russia’s plan is to grind Ukraine down, and it is working.”
Ukraine’s society is broken, with centralized power, tested institutions, and complicated alliances, particularly as Western support is diminishing.
Prosperity is but a dream, with a Ukrainian economy battered by destruction, displacement, and a complete dependency on aid.
 Low morale is widespread among Ukrainian defenders. “Ukraine endures, but it is being hollowed out.”
The economist article evokes a broken-down nation with idle factories, ruined infrastructure, and a stalled process of reconstruction.
This limits military funding and shatters civilian morale, negating the Economist’s previous vision of a self-sustaining Ukraine. |
