"Europe Must Become More Pragmatic": Moscow Expects a Change in the European Course on Ukraine Following the US President — The Washington Post
Moscow expects to outlast Kyiv as battlefield gains slow and Western support shows strain, with no breakthrough in talks, officials and analysts said.
- Russia is opting for a long war of attrition to wear down Kyiv and Western supporters, as stalled front lines and the proliferation of drones have prevented large-scale maneuvers by either military.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin is counting on collapsing European support for Kyiv in the coming months, exploiting violent protests in France, political upheaval in Germany, and a mounting fuel crisis across the continent.
- The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reports Russia is losing roughly 30,000 soldiers per month, fueling speculation about renewed mobilization; Media Zona has confirmed only 9,480 deaths from January to September.
- Ukraine's summer "influence operation" to force negotiations has failed, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed Europe is "waging a war against us," deepening diplomatic gridlock.
- Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's former Defense Minister, noted the conflict has evolved into a contest over industrial capacity and societal resilience, though economic troubles in Western European nations could complicate future funding.
