The Economist: Zelensky’s darkest expectations have begun to come true

The Economist writes in its material that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky faces a dark year. As the author notes, the world’s attention is beginning to dissipate, Kyiv’s Western allies are becoming less and less enthusiastic, and Zelensky’s worst fears are beginning to come true.

The article says that Zelensky is most irritated not even by the fact that his army is stuck on the battlefield, but by the unreliability of his allies and the indifference of his compatriots.

“After almost two years of full-scale conflict, Zelensky has lost his youthful fervor,” the article says.

Zelensky has stopped joking, he mints every appeal to the West. But the question, the author writes, is whether this will help convince Kyiv’s allies.
