The War in Ukraine 2023
Assessment of a Horrible Year
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
In 2023, the Ukrainians wanted to force the Russian aggressor from their country with a successful counteroffensive. They failed: The liberation of the southeast and the Crimea lies in the distant future. There is a lack of men and matériel. The war goes on. The Ukrainian leadership will have to conduct a war of defence. It faces the task of raising the production of armaments, motivating able-bodied men to serve in the army, and ensuring the Western support.
