The White House doubts that Ukraine will return the occupied territories.

APA reports that unnamed US officials told CNN.

It is said that White House officials are losing faith that Ukraine will be able to regain the territories it has lost in the last four months, even with the heaviest and most modern weapons systems that the United States and its allies plan to send.

An unnamed official said the pessimistic assessment did not mean that the United States would put pressure on Russia to make any official territorial concessions to Ukraine in order to end the war.

It was noted that there is hope that Ukraine will retaliate by the end of this year and return most of the lost territories.

He added that not everyone in the administration was worried about the issue, and some believed that Ukrainian forces, contrary to pessimistic expectations, could once again achieve significant military success, as in the early days of the war.
