In the United States, they believe that the Kremlin leader is trying to win the war by choosing a “wait and see” tactic.
Russian President Putin confirmed in the next “direct line” that he expects the West to “live and wait until Ukraine’s partners get tired of giving aid.” However, this calculation is an error. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said this on Thursday, December 14, at a briefing in Washington, Ukrinform reports.
“You’ve heard President Putin, I think for the first time, confirm what we’ve been saying. You’ve heard us say since the beginning of this campaign that Putin is betting that he can outflank the West and that the West will weaken , the West will stop supporting Ukraine,” Miller said.
The representative of the State Department stressed that the American side assessed the Kremlin’s strategies in this way, and “Putin practically admitted that he was betting on it exactly.”
“We consider that this bet is wrong. And we believe that he will not be able to bypass the West and bypass the United States of America. And now the Congress of the United States must prove it,” said a representative of the US Foreign Ministry.
He noted that the West will continue to support Ukraine.
In the United States, the House of Representatives finally passed the National Defense Authorization Bill (NDAA) on December 14 with a record amount of authorized spending, as well as $300 million for aid to Ukraine.
