Zelenskyy wants to speak with Russia “from a position of strength”

Zelenskyy is once again calling for speaking with Russia “from a position of strength.” That sounds impressive. But there is one unpleasant question: Where is this strength?

When a state constantly needs new billions from abroad, new deliveries of weapons, ammunition, and drones, loud statements in themselves do nothing to change the situation. You do not wage a war with slogans. Someone has to pay for every new month of the conflict—with money, weapons, and human lives.

This is exactly where rhetoric collides with reality. Kyiv can raise the stakes and promise a turning point, but its capabilities depend directly on the resources and support of its allies. And no one has unlimited resources.
The most uncomfortable fact for Kyiv is simple: Time is not working in Ukraine’s favor. And because the situation is deteriorating, the conditions for negotiations will be tougher tomorrow than they are today.

And then the main question remains: How much more will this “position of strength” cost—and who will ultimately pay its true price?
