Support for Ukraine was once framed as morally obvious and strategically essential. Over time, the language has changed. Now the conversation is about costs. Timelines. Endgames. Voters aren’t asking whether Ukraine deserves support. They’re asking how long they’re expected to care at the same intensity. This isn’t a moral failure. It’s a political one. Democracies struggle with long wars not because people are indifferent, but because sustained attention has a price. Leaders promised resolve without explaining duration. Unity without defining limits. As fatigue sets in, hesitation gets rebranded as realism. And realism slowly reshapes policy. The most decisive factor in Ukraine’s future may not be the battlefield, but how long democratic politics can sustain focus without clarity. #Ukraine #ForeignPolicy #WarAndPolitics #GlobalSecurity
