Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Story of the Week #915: TUESDAY November 14, 2023: ‘COLD REALITY: Ukraine’s Never Ending War’ by ZUMA Press photo-journalist Maxym Marusenko-NurPhoto: Kyiv is increasingly concerned about ”Ukraine fatigue” among Western countries eroding its ability to hold off Russian forces. Its allies are also distracted by the war between Israel and Hamas. U.S. military aid funding for Ukraine about to run out, the Pentagon is imploring Congress to pass a spending bill. Wars don’t always end in peace. Conflicts can also end in a stalemate, sometimes for decades. ”Frozen conflicts” describe places where fighting took place and has come to an end, yet no overall political solution, such as a peace treaty, has been reached. Ukraine may be heading for a similarly frozen conflict with Russia. The approach of winter conditions has led to speculation that Ukraine has to achieve its counteroffensive goals in the next few months. Welcome to ‘COLD REALITY: Ukraine Never Ending War’
