"Assessing Putin's Advantages in Ukraine Conflict"
TL;DR
Former NATO commander Philip Breedlove outlines three possible outcomes for the war in Ukraine, with two scenarios leading to a Russian victory if the West does not provide more support to Ukraine. The delay in Western aid, particularly due to political opposition in the US, is seen as increasing the likelihood of a Putin victory. The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been hindered by a lack of necessary weapons and training, while calls are growing for a shift to a defensive strategy with a focus on fortifications and deterrence.
