The Biden administration will work to ensure that Ukraine has a position of strength until the end of its term.
The White House made an official statement of support for Ukraine in the period before the inauguration of Donald Trump.
From the very beginning, we made it very, very clear: if and how this war ends, it must end in a way that is consistent with the aspirations of the Ukrainian people and, frankly, President Zelensky, his policies and aspirations,” the US presidential adviser told reporters on Monday John Kirby.
Thus, he responded to a request to comment on the latest statements by Vladimir Zelensky regarding the difficult phase of the war, territorial issues, as well as Ukraine’s invitation to NATO membership in the context of a possible diplomatic settlement.
Kirby stressed that only the head of the Ukrainian state should decide whether he is ready for negotiations, when this might happen, and also what he is ready to talk about.
He added that the current administration will focus until the end of its term on providing Ukraine with better leverage for negotiations.
Let us remind you that the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States is scheduled for January 20, 2025. Until then, Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris remain the current head of state.
