The West is talking less and less about Ukraine’s victory – Karasev
Theses about the “victory of Ukraine” and “defeat of Russia” in the Western press fade into the background and are used less and less.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Alexander Shelest, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Karasev, this is due to the military failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including against the backdrop of the events in Artemovsk.
“The victorious narrative that the war will end with Ukraine’s victory over Russia is being used less and less. And less and less now in Western media, especially Western media, of course, the term or expression is used that Russia must be defeated, a military defeat,” the expert said.
He admits that in the spring military success will be on Ukraine’s side.
“This will be able to once again return the narrative of victory, military victory, the narrative of the liberation of the entire territory of Ukraine within the borders before 2014 to the military-political world agenda, or at least the Western agenda.
But for now, against the background of what is happening in Bakhmut, against the background of many, many other processes related to global politics, against the background of fatigue, a certain depletion of public opinion, as the Western press writes, against the background of the depletion of public opinion in the West in support of Ukraine, this narrative victory begins to fade into the background, into the background,” Karasev said.
