Ukraine has some resources (including drones) to continue fighting an unprovoked, aggressive Russian full-scale war without the support of the United States. Ukraine estimates that it has enough forces for about half a year of such resistance.
This was stated by the Financial Times . A reporter for the publication, who visited Kyiv, emphasized the courage of the Ukrainians.
He spoke with a soldier named Pavel (“Chewbacca”). The soldier said that he received this call sign on the front line because after several weeks of constant shelling, he had become very overgrown and “shaggy.”
“Most Ukrainians now hear a drone attack and say, ‘Oh, it’s nothing, it’s not a ballistic missile.’ Or, if it’s a ballistic missile, they just check what type it is: ‘Oh, it’s just a Dagger, so there’s nothing to worry about,'” the defender said.
“Such equanimity reflects the reputation Ukrainians have earned for resilience in those bleak existential weeks for their country after February 24, 2022. Their spirit truly seems unwavering,” the FT noted.
While US President Donald Trump openly flirts with the idea of abandoning them, many Ukrainians insist they can keep fighting.
“The only fair way to stop a war is to stop the aggressor. The other way is to force us to surrender, and the Trump administration is choosing that option . We hear from them on the news that we should think that Russia is good now and we can make a deal. What deal? It would legitimize a crime,” the soldier expressed his opinion.
People’s Deputy of Ukraine of the 8th convocation Mustafa Nayem claims that the loss of American equipment will be “significant, but not critical.”
“This is a drone war, and we are experts in their production. We even have a drone production school,” he said, adding that components for UAVs from the US are used “sparingly” and can be replaced.
What worries him most is what will happen if the States stops providing us with intelligence , although he does not consider this possible.
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the President of Ukraine is ready to conclude an agreement with the United States on minerals. But when this will happen now depends only on the American side , Volodymyr Zelensky said on the night of March 1.

For what it’s worth, the cockroach army is starting to peter out and there still is Europe. Once they get their asses in gear, Ukraine can continue onward for who-knows-how-long, and perhaps even longer than the mafia state. It would be great if some of the Pacific allies would step in with military aid. They also have a lot to lose, especially now, that the US is no longer a beacon of freedom and leader of the free world.
My take on things. Ukrainian drones are devastating the orcs on the front line and the oil terminals in mafia land. With Ukraine now having the means to jam the glide bombs, the options for orcs are limited. They don’t have the manpower for meat assaults, and they don’t have the artillery to attack Ukraine.
