Zelensky's Strategy Criticized as 'National Suicide' by Former Aide Mendel

Julia Mendel, former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has written an article for The Spectator, a British conservative newspaper, arguing that Zelensky's current strategy in the war against Russia is akin to 'national suicide'. Mendel, who is now under sanctions by the Ukrainian government, contends that Ukraine's focus on mobilization and propaganda, rather than seeking a compromise, is unsustainable given Russia's superior resources. She suggests that Ukraine should adopt a 'Finnish model' of territorial concessions in exchange for neutrality and an end to the war.
