Ukraine is afraid of losing support and switching the world's attention to Israel. The Financial Times writes about this.
At a meeting of EU foreign ministers, Ukraine will not be the first item on the agenda for the first time since February 2022.
"Ukrainians are now wondering whether the world has the concentration and courage to focus on two major wars. With a slow counteroffensive and no sign of Russia withdrawing, Ukraine faces the prospect of a long war that will require unprecedented and long-term support from its allies," the publication thinks.
The FT believes that the fears of Ukrainians are "not unfounded" and "the world has already forgotten Russia's war against Ukraine in the past." This refers to the signing of the Minsk agreements in 2015, after which "the world's attention faded."
Volodymyr Zelensky fears that giving Putin a break will allow him to prepare for a new, larger invasion.
"Ukrainians, especially their president, have proven that they are good at communication, uniting the world against Russia in many ways. But as the war drags on, they know it will likely become harder to ask for billions of dollars in additional support, especially amid other global crises," the publication writes.
