As the war approaches its two-year mark, Ukrainians are pleading with their allies to provide them with more funding to enable them to fight back against Russia, following a failed counteroffensive last year.

Those calls are competing for attention in the headlines with Israels war in Gaza, which Kyiv fears could work to Russian President Vladimir Putins advantage.

Russia has all along been banking on eventual Western compassion fatigue for its neighbor, as officials have noted.

According to our forecasts fatigue from this conflict, fatigue from the completely absurd sponsorship of the Kyiv regime will grow in various countries, including the United States, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov predicted in October . And this fatigue will lead to the fragmentation of the political establishment and the growth of contradictions.
