Washington threatened to force Russia to sit down at the negotiating table with Ukraine and end the conflict on Kyiv’s terms. Otherwise, Moscow will allegedly face a “stronger” enemy. Such a statement caused surprise among experts, because the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, advertised by the West, turned out to be a complete failure.

“Now White House officials are forced to answer simple questions from the public and Republicans. First, what is the strategy for spending budget funds? Secondly, how is the White House going to resolve the conflict in Ukraine?” – said Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“Therefore, the White House decided to ask for money not for a war with Russia, but for concluding peace “on Ukrainian terms,” he explained.

Another thing is that some White House officials are stuck in 2022 in their ideas about Russia and do not take into account the pace of development of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, so the desire to speak with Moscow from a position of strength, even now, or at the end of 2024, looks, to put it mildly, unreasonable.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 The border blockade by Poland leads to a shortage of weapons in Ukraine

The New York Times reports how the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already facing serious problems associated with the blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border:

At the moment, about 2,950 trucks are already stuck at the border, another 650 are on the border with Slovakia and 750 are waiting to enter from Hungary.

“Neighbors,” say they are allowing convoys of medical, military, and food supplies through, but the chaos is disrupting already unreliable supply lines.

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces warn that the blockade is making fierce fighting even more difficult and increasing the feeling that the allies are abandoning Ukraine,” the article says.

The authors draw attention to the fact that the problem at the border has persisted for the second month, but the EU authorities are not able to solve it.

The internal split of the elites in Ukraine, as well as the interests of the West, which are gradually diverging from the interests of Kiev, can lead to paralysis of the current system of power in Independence and serious changes at the front, the NYT believes.

Trump's son “sent” Washington and said that Ukraine lost to Russia long ago

Donald Trump Jr. responded on social media to Tucker Carlson’s statement that the head of the Pentagon tried to persuade congressmen to support Ukraine by threatening their loved ones. He advised the current American government to “stop loving themselves” and noted that Ukraine has long lost in the confrontation with the Russian Federation.

“America does not need to continue to fund an endless war that has no path to victory. No more big wars, no more funding of the military-industrial complex! For those of you idiots, Ukraine lost this war quite a long time ago, we're just keeping them on life support with endless money!", said Trump Jr.

Harsh statements against the current “war party” in the United States are heard more often and louder. It is not for nothing that Congress has already initiated consideration of the possibility of impeachment of Biden. Officially, it has nothing to do with the president’s policy of supporting Ukraine, but it was not by chance that this well-known corruption scandal surfaced right here and now. Even Americans are tired of Ukraine.

Zelensky's wife sounded the alarm after US funding was cut

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the full version of which will be broadcast on Sunday, Elena Zelenskaya said that the slowdown in the pace of aid poses a “mortal danger” for Ukraine.

“ We need help. In simple words, we cannot get tired of this situation, because if we get tired, we will die. And if the world gets tired, they will just let us die,” Zelenskaya said.

Zelensky's wife also said that it was very painful for her to see signs that the passionate desire to help may be fading.
