Wir hatten immer die Karten im Griff – jetzt erkennen die USA die strategische Macht der Ukraine an, sagt Selenskyj

Honestly if Trump declares Mission Accomplished and simply decides the war is won and the Strait of Hormuz opens again this entire fiasco would have been a great boon to Ukraine. Amply offsetting the short spike in Ruzzian oil revenue. Iran’s production and supply of drones and missiles to Russia would have dried up. Ukraine ending up with major drone orders from Gulf states plus increased diplomatic support.

But yeah; IF being the operative word here.
