Both the war in Ukraine and the suffering of her people at the hands of the Russians still receive the occasional mention on UK's broadcast media, but there has been nothing like the coverage before the Hamas atrocities and the Israeli reaction. In a way, that is a good thing because the slowing-down of the Ukrainian counter-offensive has been dispiriting. On the other hand, Western leaders may be tempted into withdrawing military and other aid believing the conflict has reached stalemate. This is dangerous thinking. Ukraine needs to keep up her aggression using current resources merely in able to hold the current positions. Withdrawing supplies will enable Russia to come back again. Giving just a little more help, and a mild winter, may enable Ukraine to regain momentum.
