U.S. incoming administration (Vance) exerting pressure to constrain Ukrainian operations, indicating potential realignment of U.S. support priorities. Russia maintains leverage over grain exports and civilian shipping. EU food security concerns growing, reducing unified Western support for maximalist Ukrainian objectives.
