Winning the war, the Ukraine way

Jonathan Sweet and Mark Toth

You are only as strong as your weakest link, and for Ukraine, that link is fast becoming the United States.

The Biden administration continues to balk at Ukraine’s request to strike, at will, military targets within Russia that pose a “clear and imminent threat” to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and civilian population centers.

Red lines have become a Washington and Brussels problem, not one for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his generals. Determined to drive the Russian invader from Ukraine and win the war, Ukraine has taken the fight to Russian soil.

To achieve his aims, Zelensky has increasingly turned to his own country’s resources with remarkable success. He has also boldly taken the initiative by invading the Kursk Oblast in southwestern Russia, to the chagrin of many.
