U.S. names terms of end of conflict in Ukraine

The events in the world in the new year may reduce Biden's chances of re-election, writes former US ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder in Politico. In his view, we need to keep a close eye on Taiwan, Israel and Ukraine, which will lose "as early as the first half of 2024."

"Europe has neither the reserves nor the production capacity to make up the shortfall. If such a shortfall occurs, Ukraine will suffer greatly from the consequences, as its ability to hold a 1,000-kilometer front line and defend its cities from missile and UAV attacks is directly dependent on American support," Daalder wrote.
