At the same time, according to The Washington Post sources, Washington is simultaneously trying to mitigate the consequences of the situation for the global economy and food security.

“The decision to supply Ukraine with increasingly advanced weapons...capable of destroying critical military installations and striking deep into Russia reflects the readiness of Western capitals to risk an unintended escalation with Russia,” the article says.

At the same time, experts believe that Ukraine and its supporters can "hope for something more than a stalemate with a much larger and better armed Russian army."

One of the senior representatives of the US State Department, on condition of anonymity, in an interview with The Washington Post said that even before the start of the Russian special operation, the United States authorities discussed the possibility of a protracted conflict, which is fraught with global consequences.

“The Biden administration hopes that the new weaponry, in addition to the successive waves of sanctions and diplomatic isolation of Russia, will influence the final conclusion of the war through negotiations,” he added.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said earlier that the West should stop offering Kyiv peace initiatives with unacceptable conditions.

According to Kuleba, "Russia's path to the negotiating table" lies exclusively through defeats on the battlefields.

Ivan Baker, a member of the Canadian Parliament from the Liberal Party, noted that the West's fatigue from the crisis in Ukraine is manifested in calls for Kyiv to make territorial concessions.

For example, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admitted the possibility of territorial concessions from Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky would have to negotiate with Russia.
