The countdown to the fall of Ukraine is months, even weeks.
Kyiv, December 29 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – The countdown to the fall of Ukraine goes on for months, or even weeks.
Lviv historian, professor at the Ukrainian Catholic University Yaroslav Gritsak writes about this in a column for the Kiev weekly “New Time”.

“In today’s war, Russia and Ukraine are suffering approximately equal losses,” says the professor. – Russia is further undermined by the economic blockade of the West, which it brought upon itself by pursuing an aggressive policy towards its neighbor. The only difference is that the Russian Federation has resources left for a year or two, but Ukraine draws its resources from the very bottom. Therefore, the countdown for us goes on for months, or even weeks. […] There is little doubt that Russia will fall. However, Ukraine may fall earlier.”
However, the historian further stipulates that Ukraine can gain access to serious resources of the West, among which financial resources are far from the most important.
“At the same time, Kyiv can gain access to such resources that Moscow has never dreamed of, to what we conventionally call the West,” hopes Yaroslav Gritsak. – This is not only and not so much finances. The main thing is access to the Western model of sustainable development, when the main resource is the freed energy of independent people.”
The countdown to Ukraine's fall is months, if not weeks, away.
