The Economist: Ukraine must prepare for a war of attrition.

    Ukraine should focus less on post-war reconstruction plans and prepare for a long war of attrition. The Economist writes about this.

    .

    The publication points out that, despite a possible breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front in the coming weeks, “it would be a mistake to rely on this.” At the same time, asking for peace talks is pointless, because the war criminal Vladimir Putin shows no signs of desire to negotiate, and moreover, he cannot be trusted, The Economist emphasizes.

    According to the publication, the path awaits when the West “gets tired” and hopes for the re-election of US President Donald Trump. Putin needs war to maintain the dictatorship in Russia, and any ceasefire will only be a pause to rearm and prepare for a new attack.

    Ukraine and its Western partners are beginning to realize that this will be a war of attrition… But, unfortunately, Ukraine is not ready yet, just like its Western partners. Both sides are still locked in a counter-offensive. They should rethink Ukraine’s military strategy and how to manage its economy. Rather than aiming to win and then rebuild, the goal should be to ensure that Ukraine has enough strength to fight a long war and can prosper in spite of it, writes The Economist.

    The publication adds that Ukraine will not be able to prosper if Russia blows up infrastructure and civilians with impunity. Kyiv is a surprisingly vibrant city because it has effective defenses against continuous air attacks. Other cities need the same system, which is why squadrons of F-16 fighters and more missile defense systems are essential.

    The Economist notes that there is a need to plan less for post-war reconstruction and concentrate on increasing production and capital now. Ukraine’s economy must move from relying on aid to attracting investment, even as the war continues unabated.

    In addition, the publication indicates that Europe should provide Ukraine with as many weapons as America.

    The stakes (for Europe – ed.) could hardly be higher. Defeat (Ukraine – ed.) means a failed state on the EU’s flank and Putin’s killing machine moving closer to more of its borders. Success means a new EU member with 30 million educated people, Europe’s largest army and a large agricultural and industrial base. Too much talk about Ukraine is based on “ending the war.” This needs to change. Pray for a quick victory, but plan for a long fight – and a Ukraine that can survive and prosper, writes The Economist.
