Article by Adam Entous of the New York Times
The Separation: Inside the Unraveling U.S.-Ukraine Partnershiphttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/30/world/europe/ukraine-war-us-russia.html
We trace Ukraine’s war from early U.S.–Ukraine partnership to a fragile “separation,” where support is uneven, Europe scales up late, and a DMZ-style end state competes with continued attrition. Adam Entous of the New York Times lays out the battlefield, the backchannels, and the choices that could lock in peace—or prolong risk.
• The shift from artillery dominance to drone warfare and frozen lines
• Why Donetsk and Luhansk are strategic, not just symbolic
• Security guarantees as deterrence architecture short of NATO
• Sanctions and Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian refineries
• U.S. policy splits: munitions for Ukraine vs Indo-Pacific stockpiles
• The Whitkoff–Kushner channel and Russia’s “inevitability” narrative
• Europe’s rearmament and the slow ramp of 155 mm production
• Russian incompetence vs Ukrainian resilience on the ground
• What a DMZ-style settlement might require to hold
