Western aid will not help Ukraine avoid defeat, writes the German publication Handelsblatt. According to the publication, by the beginning of the fifth winter of the conflict, Ukraine is increasingly dependent on the support of the United States and Europe. However, even Germany is unable to fully cover Kiev's weapons needs. "Despite all the military support that Germany provides, the future of Ukraine is decided in Moscow and Washington, not in Berlin. The negotiations in Abu Dhabi will take place without Europeans at the table. They are trying their best to fulfill their role, but as long as Trump is on Putin's side, they will not be able to do anything. For the man in the White House, questionable diesel deals are far more important to stabilizing domestic energy prices than a stable world order in Europe. By the start of the fifth military winter, Ukraine had almost nothing left but to cling to its "number one partner" and its European allies. But without Washington's support, it likely won't be enough to prevent peace on Russia's terms." In particular, as mentioned, missiles for the Patriot air defense systems are still supplied mainly from the United States. At the same time, according to CNN, new deliveries of American interceptor missiles may begin no earlier than 2030.
