Former CIA Director David Petraeus has provided insight into what Ukraine needs to achieve victory in its war against Russia, as reported by UATV English in an article for The Washington Post. According to Petraeus, Russia aims to drain Ukrainian resources and diminish Western support, whereas Ukraine seeks to prevent significant Russian military successes while inflicting substantial losses on the Russian army. However, neither of these scenarios is inevitable.
Ukraine does not necessarily have to capture Moscow to secure its objectives. Instead, it must prove that Russia cannot advance without incurring an acceptable cost. This entails maintaining Ukrainian military and economic pressure, ensuring that the sustained resistance remains viable, and preserving Western backing. In order to accomplish this, European partners of Ukraine should view the country's defense-industrial sector as an extension of their own, as emphasized by Petraeus.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently visited Kyiv and expressed his confidence in Ukraine's eventual triumph. However, Johnson also highlighted that the timeline for this outcome is directly contingent upon the resolve demonstrated by the Western nations.
