Zelensky may have to redefine "victory", if he's ever to be able to claim it, says CNN.
The US does not believe in Ukraine's ability to return all its territories, CNN writes, citing a survey of White House officials.
Even with heavier and more advanced US weapons which they plan to supply to Kiev, the publication clarifies.
Biden's advisers began an internal discussion about how Zelensky should change his definition of Ukrainian "victory", adjusted for the possibility of irreversible reduction of his country.
"The mood has changed a lot over the past few weeks, as Ukraine struggled to repel Russia's offensive in the Donbass and suffered staggering losses in troops... Ukrainian forces are also burning their equipment and ammunition faster than the West can provide them."
