Ukraine has regained ground and morale with an offensive in Kursk, needing the West to bolster its new position.
The invasion of Kursk gives Kiev a new bargaining position in the face of an increasingly imminent negotiation.
Political changes in the U.S. and the duration of the war indicate that neither side will achieve an absolute victory.
Ukraine needs to reinforce its position to ensure fair peace and deter future aggressions from Putin.
Conclusion: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is at a turning point with Ukraine's recent advances in Kursk. However, the complex political and military situation requires a strong commitment from its Western partners to consolidate these advances and ensure an equitable resolution.
