ANÁLISIS | Las esperanzas de victoria de Ucrania se desvanecen ante el menguante apoyo occidental y la implacable maquinaria bélica de Putin

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 13:46:55 GMT

(CNN) — Hace un año, un resuelto presidente Volodymyr Zelensky viajó directamente desde el campo de batalla de Bakhmut a Estados Unidos para dirigirse al Congreso y reunirse con el presidente Joe Biden. Fue aclamado como un héroe: la determinación de Ucrania de resistir la agresión rusa recibió un fuerte respaldo bipartidista en Washington.Un año después, las perspectivas son mucho más sombrías.

Rusia parece haber resistido a las sanciones internacionales, por ahora, y ha convertido su economía en una máquina de guerra.La forma rusa de hacer la guerra, absorbiendo terribles pérdidas de hombres y material pero lanzando aún más a la lucha, ha debilitado la ventaja táctica y tecnológica del ejército ucraniano, como admitió su general de más alto rango en un sincero ensayo el mes pasado.El estado de ánimo en Moscú parece sombríamente determinado: los objetivos de la “operación militar especial” se alcan...

BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The Bosnian Serbs’ separatist leader vowed to carry on weakening his war-scarred country to the point where it will tear apart, despite a pledge by the United States to prevent such an outcome.“I am not irrational, I know that America’s response will be to use force … but I have no reason to be frightened by that into sacrificing (Serb) national interests,” Milorad Dodik, the president of Bosnia’s Serb-run part, told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.He said any any attempt to use international intervention to further strengthen Bosnia’s shared, multiethnic institutions will be met by Bosnian Serb decision to abandon them completely and take the country back to the state of disunity and dysfunction it was in at the end of its brutal interethnic war in the 1990s.Because Western democracies will not be agreeable to that, he added, “in the next stage, we will be forced by their reaction to declare full independence” of the Ser...
