The publication claims that Zelensky is afraid that the current front line will become a new border. But now the dangers are so great that the worst options are the best, writes The Economist.
The arrival of spring will bring two breaks to Ukraine at once, writes The Economist. First, due to the heat of fierce missile and unmanned attacks of the Russian Federation on the power supply and gas infrastructure of the country will not be so unbearable. Secondly, it will be difficult to conduct a road with heat with heat-it will be difficult to conduct hostilities during the coming month.
This will stop the wave of Russian attacks along the front line. But it will not last long. There is fears that by the summer Russia will launch a new big offensive, as it was last year. And Ukraine's prospects to keep the positions this time look much less confident. That is why she urgently needs to mobilize more troops and reduce a more reliable defense.
