KYIV, Dec 14 – As another winter of war arrives, voices skeptical of the Ukraine's prospects are growing louder, however such pessimism may have dangerous consequences, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in an article published by Foreign Affairs.

"Voices skeptical of the country's prospects are growing louder – not in diplomatic meetings or military planning sessions, but rather in news reports and in expert commentary. Most do not openly argue that Ukraine should simply give up its fight, but the pessimism, buttressed by supposedly pragmatic arguments, carries clear strategic implications that are both dangerous and wrong," he said.
