White House officials are losing confidence that Ukraine will ever be able to take back all of the land it has lost to Russia over the past four months of war, US officials told CNN

, even with the heavier and more sophisticated weaponry the US and its allies plan to send.

Advisers to President Joe Biden have begun debating internally how and whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should shift his definition of a Ukrainian"victory" -- adjusting for the possibility that his country has shrunk irreversibly.US officials emphasized to CNN that this more pessimistic assessment does not mean the US plans to pressure Ukraine into making any formal territorial concessions to Russia in order to end the war.

IF they seriously believed it was EVER possible it reinforces my thoughts that they are incompetent

Ukraine will take its territories back. Look at the pace of invasion- super slow- Russia spent 6 weeks to take Severodonetsk yet not not succeeded up to this point. Meanwhile CNN is posting Articles like this. Rissian lobby at its best.

It seems that Russia has no dollars to pay for their foreign debt, but still has some to pay CNN for complementary articles🤔 C'mon, does anyone think US government is so unreasonable to spend so much on a war that can't be won?

Make Russia Great Again

Oval Office mtg: 'Of course they can win if we support them appropriately. But if we say Ukraine can't win, we can rationalize giving up on democracy and focusing on winning the next election. No one will blame us; we just prophesied what would happen. Let's go with that.'

this has always been the case..media just keeps puffing up the ukrainian Tom Cruise ..all this just for NATO..

I wonder how many billions of dollars went straight to the Biden family?

It seems like everything the White House predicted has been wrong in this administration...what is going on?

Yep, because Pedo Joe didn't give them the advanced weaponry they needed from the start to defend against Russia, because he was afraid of what Russia might do. Now the country of Ukraine had been devastated because of his ineptness.

They will get in back, just watch!! On the other hand this seems like a copy of what happened in another certain great country.

Obama/Biden didn't have the backbone in 2014 to counter the Russian bear...nor in 2021 when the bear clearly was indicating an invasion...now Putin is not negotiating because he has the upper hand and nukes will be on Lithuania & Poland borders due to Lukashenko=Putin

Skup zla

lesson learned for any countries nato asks to give up their nuclear program.

Ahh just send them a couple more Billion of Taxpayer money I am sure at some point they will win. Can't wait for the America First agenda to get back in play.

laptopfromhell you are missing so much!!!! It explains everything that is going on.

They never stood a chance in the first place

la vie est belle pour certains.

Russia win the US/NATO proxy war the second Russia attacked before all the pieces were in place and everything since has been how much it costs our economies.

not only are they losing lands they’re also losing precious lives which will never comes back to life when everything is done and dusted ,the earlier we find a solution to this war the better for all of us

I'm not doing this because of what I'm going to get in return because that's what you all think but I'm doing it to let you all know that she's 100% safe to trade with LucaFrancato_

Filmmaker reveals conversation with Trump days after he lost election - CNN VideoAlex Holder, a British documentary filmmaker who had access to Trump and his family in the days after the 2020 election and provided evidence to the January 6 select committee, discusses a conversation he had with then President Trump. Discovery+, which shares a corporate parent with CNN, purchased Holder's documentary. From the clips I saw, all this guy did was give the Trump family a platform to spread it's BS. Not a single tough question was asked and Holder said he thinks Trump actually believes he won. Just another person duped by Trump. Hearsay. Move along.
