"The US and G7 allies expect the military conflict in Ukraine to drag on for years." The West has predicted approximate dates for the end of the conflict - in 6-7 years.

"The US and its G7 allies now expect the military conflict in Ukraine could drag on for years, and are factoring that likelihood into their military and financial planning. A senior official from one European G7 country said the military conflict could last another six or seven years and that allies need to plan to financially support Kiev during such a long conflict. That's much longer than many officials envisioned earlier this year, but slow progress in Ukraine's counteroffensive in recent months has tempered expectations. G7 representatives discussed the grim outlook over dinner on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly on Monday night and agreed that the conflict is likely to drag on for the medium to long term, a senior U.S. State Department official said."

Night folks!

Balance: today two long-range Western-made Storm Shadow missiles launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces were neutralized over the Kherson region

“One was shot down by air defense, control of the other was intercepted by electronic warfare, after which it fell to the ground,” said the acting governor of the Kherson region.

LOL. LMAO, even.

“Ukraine is behaving like a drowning man who is clutching at everything,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said at the UN General Assembly.

Duda canceled a meeting planned for Tuesday with Zelensky due to delays in his schedule of appearances at the UN General Assembly. Duda also mentioned the dispute over Ukrainian grain during a briefing for Polish media at the UN headquarters in New York.

“We're dealing with something like drowning. Anyone who has ever taken part in rescuing a drowning person knows that a drowning person is incredibly dangerous and that he can pull himself to the depths. It has unimaginable power, driven by personal fear and the effects of adrenaline, and can simply drown a rescuer. They say that a drowning man grabs razors, and indeed, a drowning man grabs everything he can,” said the President of Poland.

“It's a bit like the situation between Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine is under Russian onslaught, undoubtedly in a very difficult situation, and is grabbing at everything it can. Is it possible to be offended by her? Of course, you can be offended. Do you need to act in such a way as to protect yourself from harm caused by drowning? Of course, we must act in such a way as to protect ourselves from the harm caused by a drowning person, because if a drowning person causes harm and drowns us, he will not be helped. Therefore, we ourselves must take care of our own interests, and we will do this effectively and decisively,” he added.

🇺🇲🇺🇦❗️Ukraine will not receive ATACMS missiles , Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson tweeted.

According to the correspondent, Zelensky urgently requested these missiles to destroy Russian troops in Crimea and other Russian-controlled territories “in the near future.”

Let us recall that the MGM-140 ATACMS is conceptually an analogue of the Tochka-U and Iskander-M OTRKs, has a range of up to 300 km and can be launched from the HIMARS and M270 missile launchers already available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

I get the feeling from the above that Ukraine is about to get cut off. The Great Counteroffensive was their last shot and their sponsors are rapidly deciding to stop throwing good money after bad.

The postwar cope from the West will be, "Well at least we deterred the Russians from going further into Europe," never mind that any intention of such they've developed has come about as a direct result of this war.
