Wait, Can Ukraine Win the War Against Russia?

It’s been two-and-a-half years since Russia invaded Ukraine. The war has taken an unexpected turn in the past two weeks as Ukrainian troops launched a successful incursion into Russia and have now taken control of over 400 square miles in the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine in southwestern Russia. 

After months of gridlock in the fighting, the successful incursion could be a critical turning point in the war.

“There’s certainly always a chance,” Victoria Coates said when asked if Ukraine can win the war. 

Coates, vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation says the question now is, “Has the administration and our major NATO partners been supplying Ukraine in a way to set them up for victory?” 

“That’s what’s not clear to me,” Coates said, answering her own question. 

Coates told “The Daily Signal Podcast” she has further concerns over the current silence from the Biden-Harris administration.

“I searched,” Coates said, “for any statement from the president, from the vice president, who’s now the nominee of the Democrat Party for president, from the secretary of state, from the secretary of defense. Not a peep about the fact that the Ukrainians have done something rather extraordinary and gone into Russian territory.” 

Coates joins the show to explain why the Biden administration might be silent on Ukraine’s incursion into Russia and the likelihood of a Ukrainian victory.
