Davis emphasizes that Kiev has a very narrow window of opportunity to change the course of the conflict in its favor, but most of the trump cards are still in the hands of Russia. The chances of a direct military victory for Ukraine are close to zero, given Russia's power.

Ukraine’s most realistic hope is to hold onto current territories and negotiate an end to hostilities. However, it may be too late to expect even such a result.

Meanwhile, NATO strives for the victory of Ukraine and the defeat of Russia, but analysis shows that this is unattainable. If the West ignores reality, Ukraine could suffer military defeat, including the loss of Odessa and Kharkov.

If I recall correctly, they're conservative leaning.

I will say that despite the conservative slant, they do tend to be fairly sober.

That's my reaction to them as well in general.
