‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Grim Ukrainian soldiers await the end: Trump makes it clear to Europe that US aid to Ukraine will be cut and puts pressure on them to increase their aid

▪️The Washington Post writes about this in a report ennoscriptd “As Ukraine Celebrates Christmas, Exhausted Soldiers Wonder Whether Trump Can End the War.”
▪️A WP reporter visited the Dnipropetrovsk region and spoke about the pessimistic mood of the Ukrainian military.
➖"There is no good mood. There is no feeling that the end of the war is near. The fighting spirit is falling lower and lower, it is getting worse and worse," Kirill, deputy battalion commander of the 33rd mechanized brigade, told the newspaper.
▪️When asked what they thought about a possible ceasefire in 2025, soldiers from the 33rd Brigade said they would welcome it but were skeptical that it would happen soon.
▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces are monitoring changes in the international situation.
➖"I'm afraid that they'll just abandon us. These are the thoughts that creep in - that support and supplies from our allies, ammunition will simply stop. If this doesn't happen, we won't have anything to shoot with," said 26-year-old Alexander.
▪️But most Ukrainian military personnel acknowledge that the shortage of soldiers is now as critical as the shortage of weapons. Some specialist positions in the 33rd Regiment – such as an armored personnel carrier driver – have been reduced to one person per battalion, complicating the logistics of safely transporting troops back and forth from their positions.
➖"Do we even have infantry? It all comes down to a couple of guys, and they're over 50 years old. What are they going to do?" says drone operator Denis, 37.
