The conflict in Ukraine drags on, with prospects for resolution seemingly growing dimmer. A chorus of experts is weighing in on the situation, among them Russian analyst Andrei Piontkowski.

The outcome of these elections is deemed critical to the direction of the war. As noted by Piontkowski, the future US administration will significantly influence the level of support provided to Ukraine and Europe's overall sense of security.
The concept of a European army, which has been debated for five decades, stems from Europe's fear of being abandoned by a US president who is unwilling to offer assistance. Piontkowski voiced concerns on Channel24 about Europe potentially losing the US's protective support post-election.
Ukraine's remarkable feats and the call for more support
In further discussions, Piontkowski highlights Ukraine's achievement of not just one but two military miracles.
He underscores the importance of disproving grim CIA predictions that Kyiv would fall within three days in the event of a war.
According to him, Ukraine's remarkable efforts, which are bound to be studied in military academies, have left the Kremlin vulnerable.
One of these feats includes preventing Russia's domination of the Black Sea, which was pivotal for Ukraine's economy and a symbolic victory against the Russian naval forces. As Ukrainian merchant ships navigate the Black Sea, ongoing attacks target the Odesa and Kherson regions, highlighting the need for Western aircraft.
