Grand Strategy | Ukraine’s fighting against time and the clock is ticking

Hindustan Times  

Kyiv in summer feels like any eastern European city – warm, lively, beautifully paved streets full of shoppers, couples in love, street musicians, and open-air cafes. The rightwing parties in Europe are starting to challenge war commitments to Ukraine, war fatigue is setting in across the continent even though a war being fought next door is undoubtedly worrisome for Europeans, and across the Atlantic, the American presidential election hangs like the sword of Damocles over Ukraine’s future. Ukraine is fighting on many fronts: A full-on war with Russia, fighting for global attention, for material help from the US and Europe, and to keep up the morale of its people. That’s why we must have quick victories”, a young Ukrainian journalist told me what he thought was the rationale behind Ukraine’s controversial decision to move into Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
