According to experts, Ukraine should be aware that the country will live for a long time in war. This must be taken and changed behavior to victory and join NATO. Since June 2023, the Armed Forces gradually overcome the fortifications of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which the enemy built until the Western countries have been gathering military assistance for Ukraine.

Only the Abrams tanks will arrive in the fall, after half a year-F-16 fighter jets, and whether ATACMS missiles will be known at all. Meanwhile, Western experts analyzed the situation and formulated some tips for Ukraine, which they predict a long war. About it writes the edition of The Economist.
