When Mr Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought it would fold. It did not. Now he hopes that its Western backers, lacking the heart for a long struggle, will cut arms shipments and press Ukraine to sue for peace. They must not. Mr Putin is trying to show strength because he is weakened and the Russian people are beginning to sense it. Ukraine must maintain the momentum on the battlefield. Peace will come when Russian citizens grasp that Mr Putin is losing and cannot win.
当普京入侵乌克兰时，他认为乌克兰会*。乌克兰那时没有*。现在，他希望缺乏长期斗争意愿的西方支持者将削减武器运输，迫使乌克兰求和。西方支持者不能这样做。因为普京被削弱，而俄罗斯人民开始意识到这一点，所以普京试图展示实力。乌克兰必须保持战场上的势头。当俄罗斯公民意识到普京正在失败且无法获胜时，和平就会到来。
