Former Amb. Taylor: Ukraine is Winning the War

Summary

Former Ambassador William Taylor argues Ukraine is winning the war, highlighting Ukrainian-made drone strikes inside Russia, the financial strain on Putin's regime, and the need for stronger US weapons and sanctions to force an end to the conflict.

• Ukraine has the initiative and is moving front lines, albeit slowly.
• Ukraine is striking deep into Russia, including St. Petersburg, with domestically produced drones and missiles.
• The attack on St. Petersburg during a major Putin gathering was strategic communication by Zelensky.
• Russia's finance minister reportedly warned Putin the war is financially unsustainable.
• The US provides targeting information but Ukraine does not need permission to use its own weapons.
• Stronger US weapons, sanctions, and support could push Putin to decide to end the war.
• The US House passed a strong message of support, even if not yet active.
