Ukraine has a diminishing window of opportunity to make territorial gains against Russia before military assistance from the US and its allies dwindles, senior American officials have told the Washington Post.
“We will continue to try to impress upon them that we can’t do anything and everything forever,” a senior member of President Joe Biden’s administration was quoted by the newspaper as saying about the Ukrainian leadership.
Publicly, Biden has pledged to support Kiev for “as long as it takes” to defeat Russia. However, that stance does not apply to the extent of resources that Washington is prepared to send, according to the story published by the Post on Monday.
“‘As long as it takes’ pertains to the amount of conflict,” the unnamed official said. “It doesn’t pertain to the amount of assistance.”
The newspaper cited a shift in mood in the US House of Representatives, where the Republican majority appears increasingly skeptical of Biden’s Ukraine aid policy. It also referenced fatigue in Europe as another key threat for Kiev, as nations struggle with volatile energy prices and rampant inflation. The Ukrainian military likely has until summer to make progress, before the current US weapons package is exhausted, the Post added.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the newspaper had effectively described what officials in Moscow have called a “Western war against Russia to the last Ukrainian.”
“US neoliberals have destroyed Ukraine and are exterminating the Ukrainian people. American hegemonic ambitions lead to a colossal loss of life,” Zakharova stated on Tuesday.
According to the Post, senior US officials have relayed the Biden administration’s position to the Ukrainian leadership. Its sources said that on occasion it had been difficult to convince Kiev to take Washington’s preferred course of action.
One example cited was the conduct of the Ukrainian military in Artyomovsk (called Bakhmut by Ukraine), where Kiev’s forces are clinging on even though US officials have told them it is not worth the sacrifice. President Vladimir Zelensky “attaches symbolic importance” to the city, the newspaper wrote.
The report stated that the US wants Kiev to launch a counteroffensive using new deliveries of weapons in the coming months, in an effort to seize as much land as possible before entering into negotiations with Russia.
Moscow has accused Kiev’s Western backers of derailing peace talks in the early weeks of the conflict. Four former Ukrainian regions have since joined Russia after the local populations voted for the move in referendums. Russian officials have repeatedly asserted that the status of the new territories is non-negotiable.
America said they’ll fight to the last Ukrainian. The last man in Ukraine will be Zelensky. And they didn’t mean last but one.
The US is totally “led” by a-holes. Yet, one has to look no further than the scumbag Khazarians to identify the source of this war. Stupid Congress and stupid Americans have essentially doomed the future of the US.
Take a good long look at the medic in the photo above… because he most certainly isn’t a Ukrainian…
Perhaps this is one of the volunteers?…perhaps this is one of Pirate Rocks ‘Gurkhas’…perhaps it’s all horseshit…
interesting…
Unfortunately for the Ukraine, the country is saddled with a president who is in the running as the most corrupted in the world. Russia is quite right when they state the U.S. is fighting this war to the last Ukrainian. My hope is Russia will end this soon with an overwhelming quick victory and then lay out for the world all these highly suspicious bio labs the U.S. and Ukrainian government has been running.
“US pushing Ukraine to fight to the end – WaPo”
Yep! Can’t allow any White Slavs walking around. Holodomor II.
Jew Putin and Jew Zelensky will ensure that.
not russia !
JEWUSA/UK/Israel are the enemies of humanity !
The Khazars who rule Ukraine are pretend Ukrainians who are purposely destroying the Ukrainian male population getting ready for the Jews to declare New khazaria in it’s place.
NATO finding itself unable to arm Ukraine sufficiently (thankfully!) goes to show an inherent weakness within a coalition. NATO would have been formidable and probably unbeatable if the member countries had continued to run its own army and provide it weapons to the same standards it equipped itself before the coalition, or at least up to half that standard. Once it became a coalition and they all cut back on the numbers it was doomed to be a shadow of it should have been. The coalition went cheap, then loser.
OTAN IS A PAPERTIGER !
and this is good so .
It’s not only DUMB Yanks pushing Ukraine to fight to the end. but also THICK Brits… as that trademark cowardly craven display in Westminster Hall the other day testifies
Don’t worry folks, when they run out Ukrainiums, they can send every Polish man, woman and child to die for ZOG, then when all the Pollocks are dead, they can send every single German to die for ZOG, and when they run out of Krauts, they can send all the french frogs, etc.
Then whoever survives will get a bedside visit from Dr. Fauci and Herr Bourla, who will administer a vaccine booster and a quick trip to never never land.
