In our polls across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary, respondents ranked the top reasons for their declining support for Ukraine as follows: 1) fatigue with hosting refugees and a desire for the war to end so they could go home; 2) reluctance to spend more on a perceived unwinnable conflict; 3) frustration over Ukrainian draft evasion amid manpower shortages; and 4) concerns about corruption affecting military procurement and recruiting. These responses appeared prescient when, over the following year, frustration at Ukrainian corruption, disgust at draft-age Ukrainian men lounging in cafes abroad instead of defending their homeland, and anger at Ukrainian criminality in countries offering them haven all spilled into the open.
Ukraine is slowly draining Russia for funds and they are becoming exhausted. And the war will grind to a halt. No one can win this war. And Putin will be forced to do what the US did in 1973. Else Putin has put his sights on Azerbaijan too. Because of their new planned pipeline. And cooperation with Turkey and Armenia. A conflict here could lessen the pressure on Ukraine
