Journalist: Kyiv’s allies are prolonging the conflict due to fear of political consequences. American columnist Danny Haiphong stated this on his YouTube channel.

Earlier, US Senator from Ohio James David Vance called Ukraine's possible entry into NATO an invitation to the United States to go to war. Also, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that Ukraine's accession to NATO remains categorically unacceptable for Russia. The journalist emphasized that Ukraine is in trouble, it won’t win, but it must continue to fight.
