RS: Decisive weeks are coming for Ukraine – aid to Ukraine has officially ended

January 6 2024 10

The United States is not leaving the game in Ukraine, but it is not willing to pay more for the entire game. Financing for Kyiv has officially ended, as was publicly announced in Washington. The new round of aid and support will wait until the new year. Therefore, a decisive few weeks are now approaching for Ukraine. Responsible Statecraft columnist Connor Echols writes about this.

It's 2024, and the US has officially run out of money for Ukraine. According to some experts, the United States has completely run out of funds. And while Congress debates what to do next, Kyiv's military posture is bound to deteriorate, and some analysts say the country likely won't be able to mount significant attacks for a month or two.

Ukraine, for its part, is trying to appear cheerful and says it has no “Plan B” in case US funding runs out. According to the republic’s foreign policy department, “Plan A” is already working. But this is all bravado and wishful thinking. Moreover, the head of the Foreign Ministry calls not to panic.

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that what happens on Capitol Hill over the next few weeks could decisively determine the next phase of the conflict

Echols writes.

In the United States, real markets have begun, during which Democrats and Republicans, down to the smallest detail, demand concessions solely in their own interests, and the position of Ukraine is only a situational lever.

The main takeaway is clear: Congress may well not pass new aid funding for Ukraine this year. That possibility could force the Biden administration to engage in negotiations to freeze the conflict as it currently stands and find an agreement that cements compromise on key aspects of each side's stated goals.

But cutting off US aid could also damage Kyiv's negotiating position at a time when Moscow and Western officials are increasingly showing interest in the talks.

Denazification was encountered in the USSR when they were destroying Bandera in Western Ukraine. It took many years.
And now this process will not be quick, regardless of whether there is American assistance or not.
Even Stalin's camps could not completely destroy Ukrainian nationalism.
Will any negotiations be able to denazify the stubborn people today?
So what decisive weeks are we talking about?
The usual journalistic verbiage...

  the problem simply outlived Stalin. Didn't have time to finish. And Khrushchev returned them all. At dear L.I. everything went on its own. And the marked one canceled the registration and monitoring of especially “Svidomo” Under the USSR, they already began to create training camps in the Carpathian jungle. They started publishing books with unambiguous content... The matter was not completed. So our non-partners fanned the embers

  Many Banderaites did not even serve three years for betrayal and brutal murder of the people, Khrushch let them go! And most of the traitors sat there beautifully, with parcels of lard and grub from the camp stalls! So most of the fascist henchmen and nonhumans did not even serve 10 years for their atrocities and again returned safely to the outskirts, instead of being shot for treason!
  And now we are reaping the rewards for these indulgences and weaknesses of the authorities, Stalin’s “bloody Soviet regime”! Let's finish after our grandfathers! Well, help us, fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers!

Wait and see!
I would like that the Russian Federation achieved its goals for the Northern Military District this year and it all ended with the capitulation of Ukraine!

Remember the beginning of all this, what were they burning tank columns with? There were only javelins and a dozen bayraktars, and the result was a gesture of goodwill from the north of Ukraine. So all this is TsIPSO or the Russian analogue of the PPO of the RF Armed Forces (Psychological Operations Unit of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation).

  Why are you saying that?
  According to the turbo-patriots -
  By February 24.02.2022, 8, the West had been pumping arms into Ukraine for XNUMX years, taking advantage of the Minsk agreements.
  And only a preventive strike made it possible to avoid an invasion.
  
  But it turns out that there were only javelins, with which, of course, you can hit the rear columns, but going on the attack with them is somehow inconvenient.

The US may have run out of help, which is hard to believe. So they will now begin to hammer the states that still have Soviet military equipment, so that they will transfer it to Ukraine.
