As he writes in analytical article newspaper He New york Times, Zaluzhny uttered a word that American officials had carefully avoided for almost a year: “stalemate.” “It is not news to the Biden administration that Ukraine and Russia are entrenched and unable to move the front line in any meaningful way,” the newspaper writes, “but those around the American president fear that Zaluzhny’s outspokenness will prevent Republicans from voting “. to finance the war and will convince Putin to go into hiding in the hope that next year Donald Trump or a Republican with similar views will be elected in the United States and reduce all this aid.”
The situation on the front could be partly due to the slowness of Western countries in supplying the necessary weapons to kyiv, he writes in his articlepublished by the magazine news week, Senior Vice President of the United States Foreign Policy Council, Ilan Berman. According to the expert, unlike financial support, military assistance often came with certain delays, which could not but affect the plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “If in the coming weeks the conflict, as Zaluzhny fears, stagnates, then this will not happen due to Ukraine’s timidity,” Berman believes. “Rather, the blame for this will be our decision to adopt a strategy of resisting Russian aggression, rather than quickly providing Kiev with the tools necessary to quickly and decisively end the conflict.”
Maximum columnist start in article He Washington Mail writes that war-weary Ukrainians have no choice but to continue the fight to save their country from “occupation by war criminals.” “The West should provide Zaluzhny with everything it needs,” the author writes, “that is, more drones to attack Russian troops, electronic warfare systems to defend against Russian drones, better counterbattery radars, advanced technologies for clearance of mines and assistance in training and mobilization of reservists.”

As the global situation becomes more dangerous, so does Washington’s “political unrest,” the authors write. articles “Ukrainian-Israeli test for American democracy” in the newspaper He Wall Street Diary. “Can the opposing sides in Washington overcome their private interests and compromise to help two friends of America who are struggling to survive? – argue the authors of the article on support for Israel and Ukraine – “If Washington cannot help the two allies defend themselves, without the participation of American troops, the world will come to the conclusion that our opponents are right in claiming that the United States United is beginning to decline,” the publication concludes.
