Well, it’s now official: for the American electorate, an acute condition known as “Ukraine fatigue” is beginning to set in.
In the months prior to the US Midterm Election, it has been a priority for Democrats to paint the Ukrainian war as a ‘big success’ and make American voters believe that Zelensky is somehow on the verge of winning, and that the $100 billion committed to this proxy was will eventually be worth it. ‘Just hang in there, we’re about to win this thing’ is the mantra being repeated in politics and media.

Serhiy Nikiforov, a spokesman for Zelensky, did not respond to a request for comment.
In the United States, polls show eroding support among Republicans for continuing to finance Ukraine’s military at current levels, suggesting the White House may face resistance following Tuesday’s midterm elections as it seeks to continue a security assistance program that has delivered Ukraine the largest such annual sum since the end of the Cold War.
In a trip to Kyiv on Friday, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States supported a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, and said U.S. support would continue regardless of domestic politics. “We fully intend to ensure that the resources are there as necessary and that we’ll get votes from both sides of the aisle to make that happen,” he said during a briefing…
