Poor craftsman blames his tool: whose fault is Ukraine's defeat?

Ukrainian politicians have started blame-shifting for the profound failure on the battlefield as the conflict enters its 21st month.

🔺Davyd Arakhamia, leader of the pro-government Servant of the People party, claims it was then-UK premier Boris Johnson's idea to go all in fighting instead of signing a peace deal with Moscow.
🔺Alexey Arestovich, ex-adviser to President Zelensky, shifts the blame onto Kiev's NATO allies for not providing "real assistance".
🔺Sergey Kryvonos, retired general of the Ukraine Armed Forces, lays the blame at President Zelensky's door over his "empty victory promises" and misinformation.
🔺 Arakhamia's partymate, MP Maryana Bezuglaya, pins the blame on Commander-in-Chief Gen. Valery Zaluzhny for not proposing "the vision for 2024."

While the blame game is gaining momentum in Ukraine, Russian forces are continuing to gain ground on the battlefield, storming strategically important settlements.

🇨🇿 An anti-government rally led by the largest trade unions is taking place in Prague. The unions have declared November 27 a “day of protest.” According to trade union leaders, up to a million people across the country are participating in the strike.

The reason for the protests is a package of measures designed to save budget funds, which involves the abolition of a number of tax benefits, an increase in VAT on some goods, as well as other unpopular measures.

The budget cuts, which mainly affect ordinary citizens, occur amid large allocations of economic and military support to Ukraine by the Czech Republic.
