The accepted $60 billion in aid will boost Ukraine, but there are doubts about whether it will be enough to win, and whether Kyiv has a plan for victory.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has doubts that the $60 billion allocated to Kyiv will help win the war with Russia. Politico wrote this on Wednesday, April 24.
Three of the outlet’s sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the dynamics of the conflict have changed significantly over the past few months, partly because Ukraine has run out of weapons and ammunition while Congress debates authorization. more help. During this period, Ukraine tried to keep the eastern territory, although the Russian military also made some progress.
Russia has maintained an advantage in manpower and weapons, so Ukraine will need a lot of resources to make up for months and years of territorial losses. US officials have also questioned Ukraine’s own tactics and priorities, especially after Kyiv’s counteroffensive failed, damaging both material resources and morale.
“The immediate goal is to stop Ukrainian losses and help Ukraine regain momentum and regain momentum on the battlefield. After that, the goal is to help Ukraine begin to take back their territory. Will they have what they need to win? In the end, yes. But there is no guarantee that this will happen as military operations are more complicated,” said an administration official.
There is also concern about whether the additional weapons provided by the US could lead to a Ukrainian victory over Russia, or whether it would only be enough to temporarily repel an invasion.
National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby indicated on Tuesday that Ukraine still does not have a fully formed plan to defeat Russia, although the United States will negotiate to help develop one.
“We will be able to discuss with the Ukrainians what their long-term strategy is to push back against Russian aggression, and then tailor future packages to meet those needs,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The publication recalls that the Biden administration has long argued that Kyiv needs to decide how to end the war: whether to push back Russian troops to the 1991 border, or sit at the negotiating table from a favorable position.
But Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky insisted that Ukrainians must fight until the Crimean peninsula, eastern Donbass and other parts of the country return to Kyiv’s control. This position commits the United States to a longer conflict with no guarantee that Zelensky will achieve his goals.
The value of the next package for Ukraine is $1 billion. It includes, among other things, ATACMS, which I have wanted for a long time. But Democrats and Republicans believe Ukraine’s future depends more on what Biden proposes than the value of the dollar.
We remind you that the Pentagon said earlier that they are considering the possibility of sending additional military advisers to the embassy in Kyiv.
